Remember VT, students, faculty and parents tomorrow in your prayers. I can’t believe this even happened. The worst mass shooting in US history.

Some people were worried we were having marital problems. Don’t fret! I am married to the most sacrificial, hardworking man who spoils me rotten and loves and serves us all in an awe-inspiring way. So, no marital crisis here!

I am going to start a series of posts on “being green” — small things we’re doing to be good stewards of the planet. I think Kermit was wrong on this one (unusual, since Muppets are so trustworthy!)

Something hard and messy and just plain offensive is going on in my life right now and it makes me sad and angry and depressed. Broken-hearted, in tears, I want to give up and hide. But Christ is risen, and someday I will too. And so, I press on and do what is hard, and love those who hurt me, and try, by God’s grace, to show my children the gospel is for them, too.

Ham, scalloped potatoes, raisin sauce, green bean casserole, ginger carrots and rolls for dinner. Lemon bars and brownies for dessert. Thanks for the input! Hopefully it will all come together.

Infantino has recalled 100,000 SlingRider slings sold at Babies R Us, Target, and other stores. The plastic clips that allow the fabric to slide can break, and several babies have been dropped. (This is why real sling manufacturers and not mainstream companies use sling rings, aluminum and nylon rings that have been weight tested and able to support up to 200 pounds.) I have also been concerned when I saw these slings in public that there was a danger of positional asphyxia.
The slings look like this and can be returned for a FULL refund, which can be used to purchase a safer and more comfortable sling!
