What’d You Call Me?
For the Podcast, click here! In the Old Testament, God sent Adam out to name all the animals. He came up with things like, dog, cat, hippopotamus – which is a lot of syllables for a guy who was just created. Kudos! Even so, people names can be a bit trickier because, let’s face it, a…

Give Them Love
For many, the holidays are a time of rejoicing, of abundance, and of feasting. But it can be the most difficult time of the year for many others. This SNORK is a public service announcement, dedicated to shining a light on a group of people who are often mocked, marginalized, and misunderstood. I am, of…

Believing is Believing
“Aha! I knew it!” I could hear my daughter’s squeaky little voice coming through her bedroom door. She was maybe about 7-years-old at the time. Emerging triumphantly into the hallway, she began waving something in my face. At first, I thought it was a grain of rice, but her maniacal grin revealed a new gap along her bottom…

She has always been one surprise after another… For legitimate reasons, we believed a second child was not in the cards for us. So imagine our surprise when we were dealt a miracle! I was certain we would have another boy, just like our first, with jet-black hair and rich olive skin. On delivery day,…

A Perfect Pairing
Recently, my husband and I celebrated out 22nd wedding anniversary. When people learn we’ve been married that long, they carry on with like we’ve just discovered the cure for psoriasis or something. But to us, 22 years doesn’t seem like a big deal. In fact, by our families’ standards, we are rookies. Hubby’s paternal grandparents (who…
