Watch over thy child, Alexine, O Lord, as her days increase; bless and guide her wherever she may be, keeping her unspotted from the world. Strengthen her when she stands; comfort her when discouraged or sorrowful; raise her up if she fall; and in her heart may thy peace which passeth understanding abide all the days of her life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

In light of this local tragedy and Heather’s recent post about her journey, I wanted to remind all my readers that postpartum depression is a very real and very serious condition. If you think you may be suffering from it, please seek help. The local woman was a friend of a friend. If you would, pray for her husband, Chip.

Dick Durbin Is an Idiot.

Posted on 19.Dec.07 by | 1 comment

Thanks to the internet, Senators have had 46hr and 8m to read a 3,417 page omnibus spending bill. Apparently, thanks to the internet (and Al Gore!), that is plenty of time for any senator read all 3,417 pages of this spending bill. HOWEVER, Durbin forgot that not all senators are well-educated northern Democrats. We’ve also got us sum dum southernerz in the group (thanks to the internet?) who need a little bit longer to actually read it (at least the small words).

But why bother reading it all at? The democrats like it and they are the ones to clean up Washington, reform Congress and get rid of the pork, right?

Odds and Ends

Posted on 18.Dec.07 by | 5 comments

+ Yesterday I saw two monks get out of a minivan and go to Coldstone. (I was sitting at the Starbucks next door.) I suppose they were Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word. I guess it’s God’s work to produce TV shows, right?

+ Lexi turns TWO Saturday. I can’t believe it!

+ I do want to write about Into the Wild, someone remind me.

+ My sleep has definitely improved since I’ve been on medication (about three weeks now.) It’s nice to not wake up feeling exhausted every morning. At first my pain felt much more acute, as if I were in a fog of tiredness, and not being as tired meant I was more in tune to my pain. But, it’s now normalized a little bit. I am still in near constant pain, but it’s not as sharp or severe as it was a few weeks ago.

+ I have 19 application requests on facebook and I just cleared my cache a few weeks ago. STOP THE MADNESS!

My former professor wrote an article for The Christian Century called “A Mormon President?” that’s worth checking out. Laura Leigh and I took her senior/grad seminar on Mormonism.
