2012!!!
OMG- how did the year 2011 fly by so fast? What’s next? If you are a resolution kind of person, you should know what’s next… If not, I feel sorry for you. You are letting life lead you around by the nose, reacting to everything like it’s out of your control and not your [...]
Freeze Frame
December 19th, 2011
As I wait in the airport, I realize 2011 is winding down and I take some time to scroll through the pictures on my iPhone.

Thanksgiving is over and Christmas time is coming. “Tis the season,” they say…. Also:
“To everything, there is a season… and a time for every purpose under heaven.” (Ecc. 3:1-8) Are we talking about the changes in the weather, the coming and going of holidays, or possibly the closing of one chapter in our lives to [...]

Happy Turkey Day to all of our RSF Family! Thanksgiving dinner is still grumbling in some tummies, the dishes are soaking, and the kids are recovering from a friendly game of football in the cul-de-sac, giving me a moment to reflect on the many things I am thankful for….

Are You Don Quixote or Les Misersables?
November 15th, 2011
Brian Stokes Mitchell: on YouTube I went to a concert recently with my daughter. She has big dreams. She wanted to hear Brian Stokes Mitchell sing. It wasn’t a rock concert- no screaming teenagers and loud, over-dubbed, synthesized music. We were there to hear a star from Broadway croon classics from South Pacific, Porgy and [...]
