How The House lives at our house

“O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.” - Psalm 51:15

During youth group Sunday, we talked about the spiritual gifts afforded to us and outlined in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.

One of those gifts is prophecy. Most of the kids agreed the gift of prophecy exists … just maybe not in Medford. It was quite a conversation.

Headin' to The House

Today I volunteer to answer phones at The House FM and Praise 88 for KLVV’s annual pledge drive in Ponca City. I’m really looking forward to it.

I was the judge of that

Just finished judging entries for the North Dakota Newspaper Association. The categories sent to me were government reporting series, reporting series and feature reporting. The features category covered my dining room table. With 25 entries, most having the allowed three-story maximum, I read nearly 75 stories all together! Yes, I am nearly blind.

Three heroines and a dinosaur scared poopless

I have been blessed with children who like to write and create.

Joseph will not admit to being a “writer,” but the lyrics to some of the songs he helps create never cease to amaze me.

Still been reading; will post later

Readings for four days:

Faster than you can say Ginkgo Biloba ...

Just got this e-mail. I'm sure it will circle the earth faster than any of us can say Ginkgo Biloba, but I had to share. Funny stuff. Even the junk at the end was worth sharing. lol.

Did Jacobellis deserve this?!?!

Tacky. Tacky. Tacky. I just finished reading this story about Lindsey Jacobellis, the U.S. snowboarder who was expected to be a contender for this year’s gold medal.


She got a little cocky in the 2006 games: when nearing the finish line, she grabbed her board in an attempt to prematurely brag on her first-place finish and wound up biting the dust instead of grabbing the gold.
