How to Avoid the Dark Side of Metamorphosis

by Kim 07.14.2010 Adultitis

Have you ever gone through a major metamorphosis? Are you in the middle of one right now? Metamorphosis was the “word of the week” on Sesame Street this week. [Side note: I love how Sesame Street talks UP to kids, challenging them to not only say a five syllable word, but also to understand the [...]

How to Create Heavenly Moments In The Here and Now

by Kim 06.23.2010 Have Faith

What’s heaven like? I’m sure you asked this of your elders when you were a “little,” but have you asked it recently? What do YOU think heaven is like? I absolutely adore my mom’s answer to my inquiry when I was five years old. I’ll never forget the conversation. She was pushing me on the [...]

Happy Father’s Day, God

by Jason 06.20.2010 Have Faith

Have you heard the story about the married couple photographed together at Disney World 15 years before they met? (I found out about it from a link Chris Brogan shared via Twitter.) The couple didn’t know each other, and they didn’t even live in the same country at the time the photograph was taken: That [...]

Free Will and The Pizza Parlor

by Jason 05.30.2010 Be Honest

Once upon a time, there was a little girl. With her birthday just days away, her parents announced that as part of her gift, she could pick any restaurant she wanted to go to for dinner. She debated and deliberated. She hemmed and hawed. She asked her mom where she thought she should go. She [...]

Lessons from a Screaming Teether

by Kim 03.18.2010 Have Faith

Last night, Lucy screamed and cried for 90 minutes straight. Jason and I are convinced that every baby has a “thing.” We escaped colic, gassiness, and sleeping problems, but teething has proven to be Lucy’s archnemesis. Those 90 minutes last night definitely ranked up there as some of the worst minutes of my life. Screaming [...]

Life’s Little Traffic Jams

by Jason 02.17.2010 Have Faith

[This post originally appeared on Dad-O-Matic, a cool site for Dads, by Dads.] We bought our daughter one of those little primary-colored push car toys for her first birthday. It gets great gas mileage and holds up amazingly well in crashes, of which there have been many so far. The other day, she got herself [...]

Watching Angels Dance

by Kim 12.08.2009 Have Faith

ShareLucy is one year old today. Happy Birthday, Lucy Ruth! She’s in that cute stage where she reaches out for things that she wants. Typically, her reach is accompanied by a grunt, as if to say, “gimmie that!” On Sunday morning in church, as I held my bundle of energy (not unlike wrestling a cat), [...]

Anticipating The City of Blinding Lights

by Jason 09.20.2009 Have Faith

Sometimes I miss the anticipation of Christmas Eve. Trying to will myself to sleep as my mind raced imagining what Santa might leave under the tree seemed a lot like torture at the time. Looking back, I see that it was probably the best part. I was fortunate to experience some of that childlike anticipation [...]

Allow Chance to Change Your Life

by Jason 09.06.2009 Have Faith

Last week Kim and I enjoyed a much-needed date night. We went out to a nice Italian restaurant and wanted to see a movie. 500 Days of Summer and Funny People were at the top of our list, but we couldn’t decide which we’d rather see. I suggested that we flip a coin and let [...]

When God Shouts At You

by Jason 08.30.2009 Have Faith

Share I recently experienced one of my best days ever. I had a program in St. Cloud, Minnesota for an association of secretaries, and it couldn’t have gone better. They were a squirrelly group, and we had a blast. When I stopped at Applebee’s for dinner on the way home, I was still on a [...]

Bonk

by Jason 07.05.2009 Have Faith

One of my favorite words is “bonk.” And if this little chicken nugget of of information doesn’t give away my background as a cartoonist, I suppose nothing will. Perhaps you will be as surprised as I was to discover that “bonk” is actually a word. For real. I didn’t find it in my old Webster’s [...]

Shedding Light On What Keeps You Up At Night

by Jason 06.28.2009 Have Faith

Share When you were little, were you ever afraid of the dark? I sure was. From horns and hair to scabs and skeletons, thinking about what lurked among the shadows was an all-you-can-eat buffet for my imagination. In fact, I may not have made it through childhood without that humble but powerful life-saving device known [...]
