The justices uphold the same-sex marriage ban but also rule that the 18,000 gay couples who wed before the November vote will stay married. The decision is sure to spark another ballot box fight. By Maura Dolan 10:08 AM PDT, May 26, 2009 Reporting from San Francisco -- The California Supreme Court today upheld Proposition […]

I am feeling a bit discouraged tonight and it is late, so I will go to bed soon-hopefully, I will feel refreshed in the morning. If I had a bit more energy, I would try to read and meditate on the psalms, which are calling to me right now. Why am I feeling a bit […]

I don't tend to like going to Mexican restaurants, which is a shame since they are everywhere in the South. In fact, for years I would refuse to go and it was a very big deal the first time I went to a Mexican restaurant just a few years ago. Now I go fairly often, […]

Several weeks ago, a bunch of people from my work got together for a bowling/team building party and to my surprise, I had a really good time! And to my even bigger surprise, I didn't absolutely suck at bowling! I have never been good at bowling, so I was not really looking forward to the […]

"Laugh, Lettuce, Laugh...In My BELLY!!!" I used to eat salads all the time, but they weren't anything special. In eighth grade, I would have a bowl of lettuce with a tomato slice or two if they looked ripe enough in the school cafeteria for lunch. It was not incredibly appetizing and never was fully eaten.
