Elisha's Bones: March 2013
http://ourhouse2.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 05, 2013. Dogma of "God's Plan". The other day I saw a young man that I knew in passing, said "Hi" and briefly caught up on his life. He had just graduated college and was in that time where he was looking for the right job for his skills. From experience, I know that dealing with that is stressful. He offhandedly said "God has a plan," and I knew what he meant. I speak to this from experience, as we (our family) has passed through a trauma. A trauma that made newspapers, sent all of u...

Elisha's Bones: May 2010
http://ourhouse2.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. While reading a book, I realized there was this thing that I had honestly been beating myself up for for years. I thought about how it came up years after it occurred. The depth of the jerk that I had been. And searching my mind on ways, things I could do that would make me *feel* absolved of this. Merely confessing seemed completely inadequate to the damage I had done. Plus, when we are talking old relationships, trotting out this garbage seems really backwards-moving. I have to...

Elisha's Bones: October 2012
http://ourhouse2.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2012. Inherent talent vs. sustained hard work. I liked being behind the guitar, I liked reading and singing the Russian folk song, I liked feeling like I might get this, if I practice long enough. I didn't like continually goofing up in front of my new musician friend. It was there that the question first came up. Should you bother to do it if you don't have a natural talent for it? Isn't there any room for the tinkerer? Look, I can do this, I will work very hard and I won't ever g...

Elisha's Bones: Church, wrestling and the loss of faith
http://ourhouse2.blogspot.com/2012/12/church-and-loss-of-faith.html
Thursday, December 06, 2012. Church, wrestling and the loss of faith. I started writing such a protracted comment to this blog post. I shifted gears and am dumping out here what came to mind. See, someone I am close to went to a christian school. And the experience is similar, so many having walked away from church. And subsequently became very angry with God about incidents that no one wants to ever to experience. And if one belongs to a faith community, one might wonder, who can help? More recently I h...

Chaos Is My Life. May 2, 2009. Hope all my Portland (and area) friends got a chance to visit the Wooden Shoe Farm this year! The fest ends this Tuesday, I think, and it’s so worth driving to the farm to se acres and acres of different kind tulips! It was an extra plus for me since they are one of my favorite flowers! Make sure you get the right directions though, we got sooo lost🙂. We also got there right when the storm warning was issued but it didn’t turn out to be as bad as in town🙂. April 24, 2009.

Chaos Is My Life. Look Who’s Turning 3! May 7, 2009. Filed under Super Family. We had Freddy’s pics taken at Picture People last weekend. Man, this kid is a model; he was posing and everything!

Chaos Is My Life. I know, I know…. July 7, 2009. I’ve been MIA forever… Well, a little over a month, but still… Here’s an update though:. Freddy is pottytrained, he hasn’t had accidents in a while, and right now we are working on sleep pottytraining. Not in a hurry though! He’s been doing soooo many new things, and he’s just so much fun lately! I love his age so much! Oh, Fred can pretty much swim now! He sometimes forgets he needs to hold his head up, but all the movements are there! So we’ll see! Satur...

Elisha's Bones: You gots to find the good stuff
http://ourhouse2.blogspot.com/2013/01/you-gots-to-find-good-stuff.html
Tuesday, January 01, 2013. You gots to find the good stuff. While 2012 won't go down in the annals as "my favorite year", to not look and see the good stuff would be a huge mistake. While this year challenged me personally and professionally on an almost daily basis, there were amazing moments of respite and rare joy that I might never get to really experience much in my life. But if you do, isn't it awesome? And isn't it a game changer to have this persistent joy in your presence? Love that little one!
