Ike Fallout Shows Americans’ HelplessnessPosted by Lorren on September 15, 2008
Excite posted an article about the hurricane victims that had to wait in line for food, water, and gasoline.
We knew that hurricane Ike was coming over a week ago. It had been a category 4 hurricane for a while, then it lost a lot of power when it hit Cuba. It was obvious [...]
The Incredible Shrinking DowPosted by Lorren on
In case you haven’t seen the story today, the Dow dropped 500 points today. It is now below 11,000.
Not sure how this will end up settling out, but it’s a good time to perhaps stock up on food? Maybe do some research on how to be frugal? Of course, that is good advice to anybody [...]
Modesty and the BiblePosted by Lorren on September 14, 2008
Recently my pastor has been going through 1 Peter 3. I found an application of verses 3 and 4 to be interesting…
Do not let your adornment be merely outward – arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel – rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible [...]
What Do Clothing Manufacturers Have In Common With Airlines?Posted by Lorren on September 13, 2008
Some of my online friends and I were discussing vanity sizing in clothes. For example, Lucy Ricardo of the I Love Lucy show said that she wore a size 12… but she would drown in the size 12 clothes of today. I’ve noticed that sometimes I can try on a size smaller than [...]
The Fall of George W. BushPosted by Lorren on September 12, 2008
Yesterday was the 7th anniversary of terrorists attacking the World Trade Center. If you weren’t holed up in a cave, you probably already knew that. It was on the news, and I’m pretty sure that was why all flags were flying at half mast around here… nobody that I know of died or [...]
High Drama On The Job FrontPosted by Lorren on September 10, 2008
I’ve written in my blog before about how my husband is starting a new company with his former boss.
There’s only one problem… former boss has another former boss. And she’s not all that happy that he left to start his own company.
Dh’s former and now current boss signed a non-compete agreement with his former [...]
HYC UpdatePosted by Lorren on September 9, 2008
Sigh… i gained 1.2 pounds in the last week.
I’ve been getting lazy with writing down everything that I eat. I think that’s why things are getting more difficult and I haven’t been losing weight consistently. I need to write down what I eat!
When I begin to lose weight, it seems so easy. [...]
God Takes The Long-Range ViewPosted by Lorren on September 6, 2008
I’ve heard this said a couple of times recently… God knows everything that ever has or ever will happen, and he knew it from the beginning of time. He knew that Adam and Eve, you and I would sin before we were ever created… he knew that he would have to send his son [...]
Finding a WatchPosted by Lorren on September 5, 2008
With this day and age of internet shopping and having almost everything at your fingertips with the touch of a button… I’m shocked at how difficult it is to find a good watch.
I want a nice digital watch. Give me a couple of alarms, timer, chronograph, and make it waterproof. I don’t want [...]
First Day Of First GradePosted by Lorren on September 3, 2008
Today was dd’s first day of first grade… although all of our classes are based on level, so her books don’t necessarily all have a “1″ on them. We did reading, English, handwriting, math, and history, and it took about 2 hours today. I also did “P.E.” with my toddler… we had ball [...]
