twitter-carrying one another’s burdens

by Robin on August 17, 2009

I’ve been following this story via twitter. A pastor’s son had a terrible accident last week and was on life support. Word spread quickly across social networking sites. Prayers from people all over the world were offered up for this 19 year old, Josiah Berger.  I don’t know the family. But in a very, very [...]

Confessions

by Robin on August 14, 2009

It’s Foodie Friday… I’m Robin and I’m a foodaholic and I’m in Foodie Time-Out”… If you read last Friday’s post on my Mother-of- the-Bride dress that no longer fits, you’ll know what I’m talkin about.  I’ve been thinking long and hard this week about my situation. My situation can be sumed up like this: Holy [...]

“You do the yard and keep the house clean and decorated…but do you ever sit back and enjoy it?” This is what my friend’s husband said to her recently. Her answer? “No. No, I don’t have time for enjoying it.” This is sad to me. Sad but not a terrible problem to have from my [...]

Light and Frothy Book Ideas???

by Robin on August 12, 2009

My daughter Stephie and grandaughter Ellie have been staying with us for a few days while my amazing SIL is out of town. We’ve had a great time but I’ve not had much down time to write. I’d rather hang with Ellie than do anything else in the world so I don’t mind not having [...]

Chocolate~Marshmallow Frosting!

by Robin on August 11, 2009

As you know, I love cake. Almost any kind of cake is great with me but yellow cake with chocolate frosting is my fav.  I found a new (to me) frosting recipe and thought I share it. You may already know this one. It was in a cookbook from the early 80′s, and I’m pretty [...]

All Dreams Won’t come True…

by Robin on August 6, 2009

All dreams don’t come true. I listened to a message by Andy Stanley with that title. (From the series: Boulevard of Broken Dreams)Loved it. The whole premise flies in the face of modern day thinking where if you put “it” out into the “universe” it’ll surely come back to you. (not that there isn’t truth [...]

Pain…

by Robin on August 5, 2009

How do you feel about emotional pain?  I hate it. I have spent my life avoiding it. Trying to numb it. Stuffing it. Pretending it wasn’t there. Only to have it eventually demand attention at inopportune times. I’m not sure what I was afraid of…maybe I thought I wouldn’t live if I allowed it. Once, [...]
