Book Organization: Our Shelves
I promised some people a while back that I'd do a post on how we organize our books. The truth is it's a bit hard to do this since our shelves are constantly in flux, but this should give a general idea of how we do things. The actual contents of each shelf changes...
Where Have All The Men Gone? The Quest for Authentic Fatherhood
Have you ever thought about the word "father"? It is so commonplace, and yet has such profound import as to signify the initiation of a man into parenthood: "He FATHERED a child." We don't say, "She mothered a child" until later. Fatherhood is attached to the...
Chopped Horiatiki Salata / Greek Salad
I make no claims at all about the authenticity of this recipe. I've read in places that romaine lettuce does not play a part at all in traditional horiatiki. All I know is that our Greek foodie friend who married a Greek foodie gal are two of the coolest people...
Where There Is Love, There Is No Need for Feminism (An F4L Blogging Event Post)

Defragmentation / Reintegration #16
What's the best way to topple a crisis off its #1 spot? Have another crisis. So... in the interest of not depressing/scaring any more people, or myself, here's something that never fails to lift me up, even just a bit. Would that all kids had such a sweet nature.

I'll be honest. Some days, this is my song: But some days, it's this: One thing that has helped: visiting some old threads on hormonal imbalance at the 4Real Forums. Sigh.
Defragmentation / Reintegration #10.5
Back to St. Teresa tomorrow. Tonight, U2.

More getting back to normal....
Defragmentation / Reintegration #8
The way to adjust to the new normal, is to get back to the old normal.
Defragmentation / Reintegration #7
Had to do something creative with all that pain.
Defragmentation / Reintegration #6
Bad day today. All kinds of hurting bad. :'( Show Me - Audrey Assad You could plant me like a tree beside a river You could tangle me in soil and let my roots run wild And I would blossom like a flower in the desert But for now just let me cry You could raise me like...
Defragmentation / Reintegration #5
He sits beside us in the lowest places of our lives, like water. Are we broken? He is broken with us. Are we rejected? Do people despise us not for our evil but for our good, or attempted good? He was "despised and rejected by men." Do we weep? Is grief our familiar...
Burden Or Gift? The Audacity of Trust
This is a repost of my Filipinos for Life blogging event entry for August. Thanks to DBoncan for hosting my post when I couldn't get into my blog. 🙂 There was a time in Philippine history when the words "sa awa ng Diyos" could come out of anyone's mouth at any given...
