It was a Sweet Soiree
18, Sep 2009We had a great time at the Sweet Sleep Soiree tonight. Thanks to Jen, Jon and Stuart for all they’re doing for orphans in Moldova, Uganda and Haiti. Jen Gash (the super hero and founder of Sweet Sleep) shared about the dire need for beds, bedding, and mosquito nets for the orphans and displaced children [...]
Mawwiage, what bwings us togevuh today…*
14, Sep 2009One thing about living abroad is that we’re a bit out of the loop. Today marks the second time we’ve run into a friend who, three years ago, was in our “young married” circle either through church or socially that when we ask how their wife and young kids are, the answer is a stammering, [...]
It’s a gas, gas, gas
11, Sep 2009Seeing as a person is completely stranded in big-wide America without a car, Adam’s parents have awesomely lent us one of theirs while we’re in town. Although I’m a good driver, I don’t love to drive. I happily let Adam drive almost all of the time. Add to that the fact that we don’t have [...]
Lightfield: creativity is your gift
11, Sep 2009Our friend recently hipped us to a great blog called Lightfield (www.whatislightfield.com) where they dig into a broad range of topics related to creativity, arts, culture, and responsibility to the world we live in. On their about page, they say, “Lightfield connects creatives and their art with the needs of others in our towns, cities, [...]
Back to Nashville
3, Sep 2009It rained and stormed last night and echoed through our empty house. I got out of bed, which is a mattress on the floor, and watched the rain through the window in the front door and listened to the unfamiliar sounds reverberating through the empty house. It was so peaceful.
Now it is morning , and [...]
Of old cats and nicknames
7, Nov 2007Britain has died. So has Brutus. And Britty Cakes. One in the same, this 18 year-old cat of Adam’s adolescence has passed on to the great wide scratching pole in the sky. Named Britain in the peak of Adam’s Anglophile stage, Adam’s mom took to calling the prissy, aloof cat Britty. [...]
Adam’s Dad
3, Oct 2007More news from home– Adam’s dad is back in the hospital for the third time for his mysterious blood clots. There is now a big one in his leg, and his blood count is low.  Please continue to think of and pray for him. If you’re in Nashville, you can find him at St. [...]
Updates
12, Sep 2007We have news that Adam’s dad is being discharged from the hospital today, earlier than initially expected. That’s good news. Adam talked to his parents last night, and Steve seems to be doing better. I don’t know any details, really, but I know you’d like to hear the good news that he’s going home. Thanks [...]
The News from Lake Wobegon
7, Apr 2007I woke up this morning with the nostalgic craving for “A Prairie Home Companion”, the down-home American radio program on National Public Radio. I woke up and found it online, and now I’m listening to the stream of last week’s program.
This spring Saturday morning, the host, Garrison Keillor’s voice is taking me back [...]
Free Eric Volz
25, Mar 2007We just saw this video, and I don’t know what we can do, but we can spread the word. Eric Volz is a young man from Nashville being held in Nicaragua for a murder he didn’t commit. Help spread the word. If you’re an American, please write your senator.
