For my junior year of college, I was privileged to be a resident assistant for the 3rd floor of the all-girls dorm. This meant many things including the fact that I got to “name” our floor for the year. This is what I came up with. Gretchen’s Getaway. (Yes, I still have my sweatshirt from […]

That Line from “Oh, the Places You’ll Go”
Oh, the Places You’ll Go is definitely my favorite Dr. Seuss book. In fact, I have read the title enough that I think I have many of the lines memorized. But only one is resonating in my head today … Waiting for the phone to ring. That is the place where I am at today. […]

I still remember one distinct conversation with my sister in the kitchen when we were younger. I think I was a young teenager but still was old enough to know better. I was trying to convince her of something to her and probably was not letting the topic go (I tend to do that sometimes). […]

Due to a busy spring and the thought that maybe prices would go down on plants, we did not start our garden until early June. (The cost was a faulty misconception – vegetables seemed expensive this year!) We are just now beginning to see our tomatoes turn vibrant shade of red. But this delay has […]

Many public and private schools across Nebraska are starting again today or tomorrow. I like all of the back to school sales and the excitement of a new year. But, with homeschooling, our days fluctuate a bit more, and we never completely stop school, so that first day is not quite as significant (although we […]

Romans 8:37 “In all these things, we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.” I was not quite into my American Idol years when her powerful voice hit the stage. (My husband & I managed to follow the show for a few years and liked watching the contestants – not often the “famous” singers performing […]

An encouraging reminder that I need daily, especially as I continue to learn to crave God more than food! Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. […]

I decided that for my first “Lines on a Staff” favorite albums/songs post to use the one title that actually contains the word “line” was fitting! I randomly stumbled on this Caedmon’s Call cd on sale one time. The rest of the album is good, but I often do not manage to make it past […]

Quite possibly, I have outgrown my jewelry box. Not that I have that much jewelry or even really have anything beyond “costume” style, but still the space is tight once I add all my earrings. And the underneath drawer jams if I put in all of my bracelets. But as the wooden box was a […]

One of my husband’s favorite cleaning tools is a shovel. Yes, you read that correctly. If the basement gets too messy, he shovels all of their toys into a pile. This is not my favorite method since I long for the children to put their stuff away correctly, not just in a random box. This […]
