156 Beats Per Minute

I had my second midwife’s appointment this past Thursday, and we were able to hear Baby Murch’s heartbeat for the very first time. We’re told we have a swimmer…the midwife would find the heart beat for a couple of seconds and the baby would move away. There was one time when we got to hear [...]

I found out this evening that my aunt’s ex-husband died of a massive heart attack yesterday afternoon. Even though they were divorced, he kept in touch with my mom.

Valentine’s Day with my Beloved

This was our third Valentine’s Day as a couple, but the first one we’ve actually been together for! For various reasons I didn’t think we were going to do anything, but Ben surprised me Thursday morning (of last week), and invited me to have a picnic with him to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Why I and All of Mankind Deserve Eternal Torment

I received a comment from a reader on my Thanksgiving post, in which I stated that “I deserve nothing but eternal torment in the lake of fire.” She wrote,
