Smiling Paul: On Driving
http://smilingpaul.blogspot.com/2013/04/on-driving.html
Friday, April 12, 2013. But it is a big deal. I don’t think advanced driver training will ever be available for the majority of the population which is too bad, especially after I saw a 19-year-old girl hold up her hands to see which one made an L during her eye test. Yikes. I only yelled once - and that was when you ran a red light. Raising my voice and yelling are two totally different things. AND, the speed limit on the freeway is at tops 70 - not 80. Just sayin. You cant drive a car until youre 18.

I like kids’ books and I cannot lie | Imperfectly Nice
https://imperfectlynice.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/i-like-kids-books-and-i-cannot-lie
I like kids’ books and I cannot lie. I was challenged by a couple of friends on Facebook to post 10 books that have stayed with me long after I put them down. Of course, I am entirely too wordy for Facebook as I feel the need to explain. These books are the ones that stayed with me over time. I also realize that this list is not just about books, it is about the people who introduced me to the worlds books create inside my head, and even about the authors who created those worlds in the first place.

Smiling Paul: Happy, Happy, Happy
http://smilingpaul.blogspot.com/2013/12/happy-happy-happy.html
Monday, December 23, 2013. Happy, Happy, Happy. So, here I sit. Amelia just threw a huge tantrum. A strand of lights on the Christmas tree is out. My dad has cancer. My sister-in-law is having open heart surgery in a couple weeks. And lately, I can’t seem to stop crying. But I’m not crying because I’m sad. I’m crying because I’m happy. Sure, cancer sucks. So does open heart surgery. But you know what doesn’t suck? And it’s His birthday. So celebrate. Be happy, happy, happy. This is so very true!

Smiling Paul: Corporate Pilot for a Weekend
http://smilingpaul.blogspot.com/2013/10/corporate-pilot-for-weekend.html
Monday, October 28, 2013. Corporate Pilot for a Weekend. 8220;The team is leaving the stadium now. Is the mechanic going to be done by the time they get here? That was the question we faced the other day during a charter for the NFL. One hundred sixty passengers on seven coach buses were on the way to the airport and we had just discovered a major maintenance problem. Oh, and the police had closed down the freeway so they could get there quicker. Wonderful. 8220;I’m not sure,” the captain said. The opera...

Psalm 23: Shadow of Death | Tales of a Redhead
http://jesseischens.com/psalm-23
Tales of a Redhead. Following God's call to the world and back. Psalm 23: Shadow of Death. December 30, 2014. The words of Psalm 23 have run through my mind this past week. As a child, I memorized this Psalm. It’s actually pretty funny, because the Bible translations of today don’t have a version that says it exactly the way I memorized it.}. Here it is, “my version.” [ The ESV is pretty close, though. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures,. He RESTORES my soul.

Tales of a Redhead. Following God's call to the world and back. April 26, 2015. The process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another. This word defines my life right now. I’ve been in transition for the past several years, ever since I decided to go on the World Race, and it just hasn’t stopped. I have a torrent of thoughts flowing through my brain endlessly, but I haven’t been able to write down. I simply couldn’t write. I think transition does this to us. Stay strong on the outsid...

Where faith, family and football are usually the topic of the day. Monday – Fun Day. Sweet Grace Monthly Newsletter. UFO's Unfinished Objects. God bless the 1%. August 7, 2015. I’ve never really put much thought into this very real life truism, but men and women are totally different. This summer, an event with my guy taught me a valuable lesson, one I had never before entertained. Losing a man’s respect is probably the worst thing another man can do. Shenanigans on the pier. After enjoying some amazing ...

Where faith, family and football are usually the topic of the day. Monday – Fun Day. Sweet Grace Monthly Newsletter. UFO's Unfinished Objects. July 2, 2015. Thoughts of Oh my! And How am I ever going to put a theme together for five boys and one tiny girl? Swirled in my head for days. Cleaning up the toy room one evening, I had an AHA! As the granddaughter and niece of police officers and sheriff’s deputies, Sawyer’s invitation to the graduation of the 56. Are we really supposed to sit here? When the Chi...
