happy valentine's day


yesterday jack pulled a book off of cade's shelf, and this fell out of it. its an old valentine that someone named travis gave to shannon years ago. it is so bizarre that they day jack chose to pull that particular book off the shelf and that fate allowed this little card to fall out was february 13, of all the days of the year. weird.
even more weird is that it still possessed its full scratch-n-sniff wonder. yum.
so anyway, happy st. valentine's day to everyone. know you are loved. and that you are too cool.
and travis? forget about it.

Greg, love the old valentine. It reminds me of all the older type valentines that I used to get way back in the stone ages in my homemade valentine mailbox (a decorated shoebox) in my classroom each year. I have always loved the whole idea of celebrating love! How great is that! My favorite was from my 6th grade Valentine who gave me a card with a bee on the front that said, "With your ZZZZZZZZZZZ and my BuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, we could make some great honey together." Now that's a Valentine. I still have it in my memory box. It's a little bit yellowed and faded, but it still brings a smile to my face when I think about it. I got another card today from that same valentine. It has a picture of a little boy and girl sharing a ride on a tricycle and the caption says, "together, we're unstoppable." He's a keeper! I hope your readers have as many happy Valentine's memories as I do.

Have a great Valentine's Day. I send my love to you, Shannon, and my precious boys. You are all in my heart.

wow- that is such a cool valentine. i can almost smell it through the computer.

what's better though is the fun story from mom milinovich. i don't have many val's day cards saved... wish I had done that when i was teaching.

happy day of love! i had a funny joke on my blog. I also accept comments...

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day.

affirmed

i cannot express today the feeling i have. this picture that i found sort of expresses it but not really. for the last ten years i have poured myself into this vocation, daring to believe that God, the very God of all creation, has called me, even me, to this work. along the way many have affirmed me in this journey, but i have continued to work for the ultimate affirmation, ordination as an elder in the united methodist church. and now i have it. after two grueling (and i mean grueling in every possible sense, really) days i recieved the call today that the board voted to recommend me to the annual conference for ordination as an elder. and as i have already said, i cannot even begin to express the emotion i feel with words like relief, joy and satisfaction. there will be plenty of time for me to reflect on this and i will have more to say about it as i do that reflecting, but today is really a day for celebrating for me, and for thanking those who have journeyed with me and s...
