straight line. One week from today it’ll be 21 years since he died.
I still have this old bottle of cologne that was my brother’s. It’s the smell I always think of when I think of him. I know the brand is Curve (even though it’s mostly rubbed off) but I don’t remember the name of it. Sometimes I just grab it and smell it and I think about him. Grief is not a
Girl. I laughed out loud. I cried. I covered my mouth in shock. It was a lot.
desire. He just stands at the back door begging to be let out but when we take him out (on a leash) he just wanders around.
He is not unlike the raptors in Jurassic Park. Systematically testing the fence for weaknesses. He remembers.
Part of our fence in our backyard was blown over recently when some strong winds hit Houston. My husband has been working on it, but isn’t finished yet.
Our hound dog is so desperate for someone to forget the fence is down & let him outside so he can chase all the living creatures to his heart’s
I love that you got to experience what you give to others
And we all know you would do the same for any single person.
I have a confession: Yo-Yo Ma was my top artist on Spotify wrapped last year.
I was sad to hear about Gene Hackman’s death. What is your favorite role he ever played? Personally, I love him in The Firm and in Hoosiers, but my favorite has got to be Young Frankenstein.
Little-known fact about me: I HATE balloons. So, you’ve heard of a passenger princess? Well, I’m a balloon arch princess and my amazing SIL comes in clutch for me for all of them. Here she is assembling one for my daughter’s 10th birthday party tomorrow.
As a mom of four (youngest is preschool aged), sometimes I walk past the baby section at Target and get a little sad.
And then I walk past the diapering section, and I am jerked back into reality.
When I was at Bible study on Thursday night with @bethmoorelpm.bsky.social, I was waiting to get in and I heard someone playing the theme song from Severance and I got so excited
Looking to connect with #Severance people 👀

It seems to me she is in awe at being seen. She was running away from the abuse she suffered. And she is met by God. And seen by Him. And blessed by Him. And she was in awe. As am I.
I have always loved Genesis 16 when Hagar names God. I love that she names Him El Roi. And it wasn’t until this week that the second part of that verse hit me: “In this place, have I actually seen the one who sees me?”.
children who also needed the alone time and a minute to not be needed or talked to. I did need that. Nonetheless, this man encouraged me with his kingdom mindset.
He was kingdom-minded in a way that I was not. And I was so thankful to be able to share that with him today - that I have thought about that moment and shared that story with people many times since. I also want to add that I am not receiving judgment/condemnation for being a stay-at-home-mom of 4
that young man. I have thought about that many times since. I was so encouraged. I hadn't even considered using that time to talk to people about Jesus, I had just looked forward to no one talking to me so that I could read a book in peace. But this guy saw it as an opportunity.
sitting nearby. As I sat, reading my book and enjoying the one time of day that no one NEEDED me for something, I overheard his conversation with someone. He chose to use that time to share the Gospel with
🧵: I saw someone today that I couldn't place where I knew them from. After some time, I remembered. I used to donate plasma twice a week and this guy was there usually at the same time every week. The reason I remembered him was because I was sitting waiting to be called back one day and he was
It’s not supposed to be this warm in February.
People here in Houston are all happy about the weather changing again and warming up and I am NOT. With warm weather comes many things I don’t enjoy but the biggest one is MOSQUITOES. Have we forgotten?!
I’m not sad about the sunshine though.
Yes! I have saved that in my brain for years. Such wisdom. I wonder what made her change it a bit? @bethmoorelpm.bsky.social ?
I was at a coffee shop yesterday morning for a meeting, sitting outside and enjoying the weather. And someone told me they heard me laughing inside from inside and knew it was me. 🫠
I feel like these pictures show very well how the boys are a perfect mix of you and JB.
Okay yesterdays episode was 🤯
Thank you!! What a great way to help us find cool people here. 👏🏼👏🏼
