The Resting Rock: Abbi Valentine
http://therestingrock.blogspot.com/2011/02/abbi-valentine.html
Sunday, February 13, 2011. My cousin has a band called Upsidedown Cat. She recently made this fun music video for the song "Abbi Valentine." Since tomorrow is el día de amistad y de amor, I'm posting it so that you can enjoy it. Abbi Valentine official music video. February 13, 2011 at 5:35 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And the memory I started at, my starting moves your laughter. Bacon and burning fields. And chocolate. Be kind to the missionaries. View my complete profile.

The Resting Rock: October 2010
http://therestingrock.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 18, 2010. In a junior high Family and Consumer Science class, we were each given a piece of paper with questions dealing with what we would like to do when we grew up. We were supposed to think about what we saw ourselves doing in the future. I sat there and sat there, and I couldn't see myself doing. No, it didn't llamarme la atención. Recently I took a personality test through the Enneagram Institute. Then why am I here? We'll see where I end up. For the time being I will continue c...

The Resting Rock: November 2010
http://therestingrock.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 15, 2010. We were in the northern part of the city, at a dinner party with some friends, and needed to figure out how to cross the river to find the restaurant where her sister was playing. I know the name of the place; can we use your computer to look it up? Well, you can, but I don't have internet.". Quiet for a few seconds. Does anybody have an iPhone? We have a Garmin in our car.". Well, look, here's a big map of the city on the wall.". And the phone number.". Good old Yellow Pages.

The Resting Rock: December 2010
http://therestingrock.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 26, 2010. We were listening to music in my brother's car, driving in to celebrate Christmas with my Grandpa. My brother asks, "If 80 seconds make up a minute, 40 minutes make up an hour, and 20 hours make up a day, how long would that day be? A few seconds later his fiance replies "64,000 seconds.". Thursday, December 23, 2010. One day, though, Timothy was. My favorite Disney princess was Cinderella. It feels a little like betraying my 10-year-old self, as I throw away letters I kept for...

The Resting Rock: March 2010
http://therestingrock.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. I grew up in North Dakota, where the month of March is still tightly gripped in Winter. And yet it's not the same as January or February; the days are getting longer and there's a certain quality on the wind. It's almost like a kiss. A soft, gentle, kiss from Spring even as Winter continues to rule over the northern plains. I took the kiss on the wind as a promise, that something was about to change, and I began to love March.

The Resting Rock: plants
http://therestingrock.blogspot.com/2011/08/plants.html
Saturday, August 13, 2011. I've been trying my hand at houseplants this year. The first attempt was about a year ago, with two plants from the supermarket. I just used topsoil from the garden and they dried up while I was gone over Christmas. It's a lot of fun, though, to watch a plant really take off. My little spider plant just sent out a little spiderette! And sometimes you just leave them alone to grow on their own, with water and sun of course. August 18, 2011 at 4:48 AM.

The Resting Rock: June 2010
http://therestingrock.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 29, 2010. We're still sitting here, waiting, on the tip of Texas. My flight doesn't leave until tomorrow but we wanted to leave time in case of traveling troubles. I'm not used to the water-saturated, super-heated air and I feel lethargic and annoyed outside. Now a tropical storm is rolling in and the rain comes in gusts and cools the air. Friday, June 11, 2010. I've tried putting in mint or cinnamon, but the perennial favorite continues to be just plain hot chocolate. So rich.

The Resting Rock: Be kind to the missionaries
http://therestingrock.blogspot.com/2011/02/be-kind-to-missionaries.html
Saturday, February 19, 2011. Be kind to the missionaries. This is unfortunate. Probably most of us don't have corresponding experiences to be able to really understand what it's like to live cross-culturally and all the highs and lows that come from that. I think that a lot of Christians have a skewed view of missionaries - that they have a particular calling on their life, are more spiritual, trust God more, they know what their life purpose is. This isn't necessarily true. So people become missionaries...

The Resting Rock: January 2011
http://therestingrock.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2011. When I was a child we had a high chair that you could disassemble into a table and chair. To create the high chair, you set the table on it's side and put the child-sized chair on top. It was easy to put together and take apart. I took a bite of cereal. I think at first I was confused. It tasted bad. Really bad. My eyes filled with tears. Mom saw me and pointed out what was wrong. The little carton of milk was buttermilk, and it doesn't taste good on c...We had rules that we ...
