Wearing the “Minister” Hat

Last updated on: February 22, 2011 at 2:07 pm By Grace Sandra

I went back and forth on attaching the ‘Minister’ moniker to my Minister Mama blog title. I grew up with bad connotations when I heard the word Minister or Clergy. Everything from: lame, boring, collar-wearing dorks who couldn’t marry, are likely depressed, don’t have sex, molest folks & hate black folks. Talk about a bad impression, eh? (more…) Read more

The Family that Jacks up each other’s Hair:…uhh, still loves each other?

Last updated on: February 13, 2011 at 4:38 pm By Grace Sandra

It was R2’s turn to experience the haircut from Daddy in which he took far too long, ended in tears and left Mama begging for Daddy to “please just stop” because what 15 month old needs a perfect haircut?

Last updated on: February 9, 2011 at 11:26 am By Grace Sandra

The other day, R1 (my sensitive 5 yr. old) mentioned we “should go over to Haiti and get one of those kids to bring home with us!” Since R1 loves to pray for Haiti and frequently asks how they are doing, I often read to him email updates I get from World Vision. Dave & I have been sponsoring two kiddo’s through World Vision since we’ve been married. Terefe from Kenya & Wilder from Ecuador. $64 a month is all... Read more

It’s a Blizzard! (or about 9 inches of snow)

Last updated on: February 5, 2011 at 2:42 pm By Grace Sandra

I must admit, our fam ran out and bought 12 gallons of water. The hubs prepared an emergency kit with flashlights, canned food and other life-saving contraptions. I couldn’t be bothered with it but the hubs and I are on TOTALLY different levels when it comes to emergency preparedness. One day, he says, I’ll be completely caught off guard and I’ll realize he was right all along. That day was NOT last week. (more…) Read more

How would you feel if someone did THIS to YOUR house?

A few weeks ago, one of my besties hosted me for two whole weeks while I worked on my grad degree intensives. Marla’s boys, (7, 9 & 11) shared a floor and a bathroom with me. (more…) Read more
