| Strong Little Girls! | |
| By Leanne on1/13/2009 10:50 PM | |
| | I was telling my children at Sunday School--there were about 90 kids, all ages and a nice mix of boys and girls--about Moses and how an evil king was worried about the strength of the Hebrew people so he wanted to have them killed. | | |

| | I have not purchased Legos in a long time! My boys loved them but they are 18 and 21 years old now...I recently went shopping to buy some for a friend's child and wow...I am so disappointed!! And I am wondering...if this happened to Legos, what will be next for kids? What am I disappointed in?... | | |

| These Days of Quiet | |
| By Leanne on12/29/2008 11:49 AM | |
| | I never know quite what to do with myself during these days between Christmas and Advent. I feel like I need to get back to regular routine and start doing my "to do" lists. I feel like I should start calling all my friends that I wanted to have coffee with during the holidays but didn't find time to and have coffee and lunch to get caught up...but I am tired. So is everyone I know! | | |

| Advent: A Time to Ponder | |
| By Leanne on12/4/2008 9:56 PM | |
| | I just got home from visiting my grandson in Kentucky. He is 18 months old--into everything--exploring everything! I took him lots of toys to bribe him into remembering me. I took a book that lit up, a magnetic alphabet set, and a little wooden nativity set. I expected him to like all his toys except the nativity set. | | |

| A Lesson from a Rotting Pumpkin | |
| By Leanne on10/27/2008 5:27 AM | |
| | I attended a halloween Party over the weekend and one of the activities for the children was to decorate pumpkins. As they worked on their pumpkins, one child shared that she had just had to throw her pumpkin at home away because it was, and I quote, "so gross...all rotten..and the grossest thing you ever saw!!!" | | |

| I am the Church... | |
| By Leanne on10/6/2008 11:19 AM | |
| | The other night I watched an advertisement from the United Church of Christ where people from all walks of life and all ages were singing that old finger play song--"I am the church, you are the church..." At the end of the commercial they assure those watching the ad that their church is open and accepting of all people. I am not UCC and still I cried hearing that I, with all my flaws and faults, would be welcomed unconditionally into the church. And then I felt sad thinking of all the churches who only welcome those who think and believe exactly as they do...how sad to be rejected by a church. | | |

| Let Your Light Shine | |
| By Leanne on9/2/2008 4:28 PM | |
| | What I want to talk about is my trip from the airport to the college and then from the college to the airport to return home. Britt is attending William Paterson University in New Jersey, so we fly into NYC and take a car from there to New Jersey. I learned a valuble lesson riding in the car to and from the school... | | |

| My Little Scared Bird | |
| By Leanne on8/19/2008 10:29 PM | |
| | I recently moved to a new home. Of course I took my little parakeet, Beethoven, with me. She loves me so much! Whenever I come into the house she chirps and jumps to the front of her cage, presses her little chest against the cage so I can pet her. But ever since the move, she is different and it made me think about how I relate to God... | | |
