Musings on the oddities of life, the humor in the mundane, and God's incredible grace to the fragile humans who call Him Father.
For those of you who are not fond of cats, my apologies. At the risk of being redundant and thoroughly disgusting a few cat haters, I am going to post more lessons from the cat. To those of you who don't like cats and therefore don't like my post, my response is borrowed from the great Ando. To you I say, "Pppbbbbbbbbbbbbtt." Personally, I think the following advice is downright profound.

Okay, first for the random announcement, which truly is not so random since it's the only reason I am posting tonight. My son has joined many of our family members and started his own blog. Here's his link: http://highlightofurweek.blogspot.com/ I wish I could say I was his inspiration, but I was not. Rather, it was his Uncle who never posts that inspired this bold move. That leaves only Scott who does not have his own blog. Of course he does have his own website, so maybe that should count for something. Next our dog Beamer is going to start his own blog and give you the real scoop about life with two cats.
Our Christmas vacation this year was a little unusual. Because the girls were signed up for a speech and debate tournament in San Diego January 4 - 6, it meant we could not completely take a vacation from school. The preparation for debate alone would have given them a little to do each day, but the expository speeches they were planning to tackle provided the lion's share of the work. According to NCFCA rules, "An Expository Speech is a platform speech that 'exposes' or explains a particular topic through the use of visual aids. The speech must be an original work, scripted word for word...The speaker describes, illustrates, or defines an object, idea, or process using visual aids... Humor and satire are allowed."
