  • Here is a turkey recipe to use for a tasty bird

    Let’s talk turkey. After all, it is only one week until Thanksgiving and we all should have started on our menu plans by now.

    We are heading to Indianapolis for a wonderful family Thanksgiving. A family tradition that has continued on; mostly we are just cousins, but we have kept it going since our parents have all passed on.  I think this is a real tribute to what our grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles instilled in us; keep it going. Now that our own families are growing, it’s a little harder, but we do the best we can.

  • Church: Why bother? How to address this with teens

    A few weeks ago my youngest daughter came home for a quick visit on her way to a wedding and a football game.
    At 27, she has long outgrown her terrible teen years, although she still has a bit of an edge. That’s just Laura.
    When she was 14 or 15 she was into a grunge stage, very Kurt Cobain-Pearl Jam-Stone Temple Pilots. She’d wear pants big enough to fit two sumo wrestlers and heavy, bump-toe combat boots — to church. Hey, I was just glad she came to church back then and I wasn’t about to quibble over what she wore.
