Mark and Cathryn

Whew.... as I begin to write this, I let out a BIG sigh.  It's official, and I can finally tell people.  Mark and Cathryn are a couple.  They've kept it under wraps since before Interlochen, but I asked Mark if I could tell people, and he said yes.  Whew....

They are the cutest things together.  Wearing matching Converse to a formal dance, playing Lacrosse for hours a day together, planning future knit bombing attacks.

They must see each other every day, if not more than once a day.  They are happy and considerate of each other.

The only pictures I have of them are from Music Formal (when they weren't officially together), and the one I took several months ago of them playing Lacrosse (I'm not sure they had even touched each other before that picture!)

I must admit as a mother, it's nice to see Mark with a girl who is more his equal than a controlling personality.  Too, these two have known each other for years through our church youth group.  Friends is always the way to go first.  It's a two-way street in this relationship, and I can't wait to see all the fun times they have together.

    I had seen the pictures on facebook and they looked kind of cozy and I wondered. Glad you are able to talk about it now.

The FIRST of the Best Days of My Life

By
I'm always amazed when people can answer the question, "What was the best day of your life?"  For me, I've never had a specific answer.  The typical response of "my wedding day" doesn't work for me, because in all honesty, our wedding day was pretty sad with no family in attendance.  The second most popular answer of "the day my child was born" only conjures up feelings of pain, misery and exhaustion for me.  Really, up to this point, the best day of my life is anytime my family is together, and we are laughing, and talking, and ... being together.  I guess if I could string all of those moments into one solitary day, that would be the best day of my life. Everything changed though on Tuesday, October 27, 2015.  In fact, I feel quite relieved now, knowing that I can answer the proverbial question successfully and succinctly, for on that day, Anneliese Margaret Kennedy joined our family, and there has never been a better day in my life.

Johannah's Talk

By
Good afternoon brothers and sisters. As they said, my name is Johannah Kennedy, and I was asked to speak on Growing in the Gospel without judgement. When Brother Bartmess extended this invitation to me, I asked if he wanted me to focus on how to let go of our judgment of others in order to grow in the Gospel, or how to grow in Gospel when we feel judged by others. He paused, smiled, and said, “Both.” So, I’m going to do my very best to cover both topics in fifteen minutes.   I want to start by talking about how to let go of our natural tendency to judge others in order to grow in the Gospel. Unfortunately, the temptation to notice the weaknesses of those around us is often too hard to resist, and sometimes, we do it without even realizing it. When we meet someone for the first time, our minds naturally assess their appearance, their voice, their facial expressions, and their way of interacting with others. This first impression can often mean the difference between our inclination to e

Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place

By
I'm writing this, not as a complaint, but as a plea.  If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. My children are talented.  In fact, every child that I have ever met is talented in some way.  That's the fun thing about meeting kids--discovering those hidden talents. Some of the talents my children possess are very public--you guessed it...music.  Some aren't so public--kindness and generosity. My kids are frequently judged by other children because of their musical talents.  Other kids see them as "snobs" because they play their instruments well and because they are willing to share those talents whenever asked. My kids never play with arrogance.  They recognize that they are better at music than most kids their age, but they never, ever show it.  In fact, they are very generous with compliments towards other kids and their efforts with music.  I have raised them to appreciate anyone who tries to do anything with music--it's always a good
