Mommy Moment
There are brief moments that would just be better with my mommy. For example: –When I embarrass myself in a Mexican restaurant because I was accidentally staring at the cute waiter the whole time. I know my mom would have embarrassed me more and taken a picture with him. –When I pull out my camera…
Hello Radio World
Clear your calendars my dear family and friends. Check out LifeTalk Radio at 2-3pm ET to tune into Steve Gallimore Live this Friday, September 17th.

Not a Toys-R-Us Kid
As much as my heart stays young, and I’ll admit sometimes my mind as well, the rest of me doesn’t always keep up. My knee aches as I exercise and today I found myself logging onto the BBC before Adventures in Odyssey and yes, that’s a big deal. Today’s just one of those days. Anyways,…

There was someone who is writing their agronomy doctoral dissertation (in English) who needed a revision of their work to send…
Inglish Watcher

That’s not a nice thing…
A Weekend in the Life of…
Me! Ok, you saw that one coming. So I had a fabulous weekend, which I will summarize in true diary form. Friday I made peanut butter and jelly cookies for sundown worship/small group. They were tasty. I ate too many. Worship was fun. Although they have this new rule in my neighborhood, that if I…
