Reflections of the Ordinary. Contemplations, ruminations and meditations. Wednesday, January 11, 2012. There are lots of changes going on right now. My job at FPU North is going a-okay so far. I hear it's going to be hellish soon; whatever that means for an office is beyond me. Today is day 2 of official tutoring and I love it. It's so different and fun and it doesn't feel like a job! The six-year-old and thirteen-year-old are precious. We're going to have tons of fun for the next couple of weeks. Learni...

Reflections of the Ordinary. Contemplations, ruminations and meditations. Wednesday, February 8, 2012. My life as a ball of cookie dough dipped in hot sauce. Breakdowns are no fun, but they sure as heck clear your brain to prioritize what's truly important. I had one last night. Driving home from class, out of nowhere, all these emotions and thoughts about school, the future, friends, insecurities, work, and God washed over me and I sobbed like a baby all over the steering wheel. We just .were. Jazz has ...

Reflections of the Ordinary. Contemplations, ruminations and meditations. Thursday, May 31, 2012. On reactions and receiving. Anyway, for as many times that life just happens unexplained, I'd say about 25% of the time, my life goes through an 'a-HA! As people, we want to be justified in everything we do. Even if I do something negligent, I still reason away my feelings of inadequacy and fault; I just desperately want to be right. I've been reading A Grief Observed. I'm not usually one to write in-depth a...

Reflections of the Ordinary. Contemplations, ruminations and meditations. Saturday, February 11, 2012. I like to draw. I really like to draw. I don't do it hardly enough, but I really really enjoy it. I've been using it lately to be an outlet to dump things in my brain onto paper, whether they mean anything or not. It's fun and I feel better after doing it. Like working out. Or .other things. Characters that grace most margins of comp books are robots, animals, and over glorified stick figures. More blog...

Reflections of the Ordinary. Contemplations, ruminations and meditations. Tuesday, October 16, 2012. George Page and feeling helpless. Did you ever watch that PBS series Nature? The one hosted and narrated by George Page, who had that super syrupy voice? I was completely enthralled by those natural history documentaries. The more animals there were, the better. Last night I had a George Page moment. We’re currently in Morro Bay staying at the Koole’s house. [ Thank you guys! I can do this! So why is it s...

Reflections of the Ordinary. Contemplations, ruminations and meditations. Thursday, April 5, 2012. It’s Friday, but Sunday is coming. Those are some hopeful words. they are like music. It's hard to hope for something you only think. Is going to happen. It's hard to hope in. Something you only think is going to happen. Of all the paralyzing emotions that a human can have, fear is the worst. It denies us love, hope, joy, peace, forgiveness, and freedom. You could turn to the bottle,. Freedom to live in joy.

Reflections of the Ordinary: Weekend happenings.
http://reflectionsoftheordinary.blogspot.com/2012/03/weekend-happenings.html
Reflections of the Ordinary. Contemplations, ruminations and meditations. Monday, March 26, 2012. Jesus speaks to people in strange ways. Through pieces of paper. There are people we are called to love: those who bring us joy, those who are testy, those who are our foe, those who are far from us. Sometimes our foe is ourselves. We hate ourselves. We strongly dislike ourselves. But we're still called to love. It's. So. Hard. Loving ourselves is a cyclical circle of finding our identity in Christ. I thanke...

Reflections of the Ordinary. Contemplations, ruminations and meditations. Monday, January 30, 2012. So I’m reading extensively about the ins and outs of counseling children and the involvement of parents in the process. Its what’s on my mind. 8221; “Go sit at that table.” He looks over and sees that that is not a very great place to sit. “Can we go sit somewhere together? Go SIT at that table.” He obediently and quickly darts back over to the chair and sits. Mom grabs her purse and puts it ...She comes b...
