A caller to Dr. Laura’s radio show: “I’ve been dating a married man for 3 months. What do you think are the chances that he will leave his wife and marry me?” Dr. Laura: “The scummier he is, the better your chances!”

Things I am thankful for today: A great time at lunch with my Bible Study Fellowship ladies, sharing about what God is doing in their lives. Dottie, my teaching leader in BSF, an example of perseverance, taught for 35 years, without pay or fame. My children’s great attitudes and behaviors, I love being with them. […]
Here’s something else I remember from my childhood. When I was in 4th grade, I was next to my friend Melissa Sargent. As she was talking, she turned to point at something and stuck her finger into my nostril! Yeah, I remember stuff like that…I wonder what happened to all my childhood friends and teachers…Linda […]
Elliot passed his driver’s license test yesterday. So many milestones for him this year – driver’s license…going to college… Looking back, I do not now consider those as significant events in my life. At the time they probably were, but I don’t remember details at all. Did I fail a couple of times before passing […]
Today is my husband’s birthday. What does he want for his birthday? Roast duck for dinner. So I am going now to Sam Woo’s to buy a duck. Easy enough! We spent a few hours on Balboa Island this morning, walking on the harbor and pier, enjoying the beautiful sunshine and cool ocean breeze – […]
Amy has bookfair at school this week. She wanted to buy this and buy that. K: “How much money do you have?” A: “How much money can you give me?” K: “Prioritize what you want, and let me see what you really want.” She wanted a paperback, the story of a mouse who is a […]
We waited over 45 minutes for our take-out order. “We could’ve bought food at the market and cooked our dinner, mom” said Audrey. “It’s a good thing you are with me, Audrey dear. The time waiting is not wasted because we are together” I replied. I am very impatien when it comes to waiting for […]
In short, any student that goes off to college will be presented with situations where they will be called upon to make responsible moral choices. There comes a point in every parent’s life when they must trust that they have raised their child to make the right choices. I do not so much trust my […]
Elliot received an acceptance on Wednesday into the USC Resident Honors Program. USC selects 30 high school juniors to start as college freshmen without finishing high school. I am very proud of him! But… Am I ready to let go??? If he decides to go, I have 6 months to prepare him. Academically, emotionally, physically […]
Amy: “I hate my leg!” Amy has ezcema on her leg that keeps flaring up. We pray together that God will give her healing. It gets a little better, than it flares up again. “O God, please answer our prayers! It bothers her so much. I would forego answers to any of my prayers if […]
I just emailed to a friend and said, “It’s a good thing size doesn’t matter to God!” We go to a small church. After 20 years, we are still a small church. Are we doing something wrong? In I Corinthians 3: 5-8, Paul is rebuking the Corinthians for taking sides in following certain leaders like […]
At first only one or two baby hamsters ventured out. This morning I saw 4 of them scurrying around the cage. After a few unsuccessful attempts, two of them climbed up the ladder to the loft where the water and food is located. Going down is easy, they just fall! It was funny to watch […]
The baby hamsters eyes are now open, as of yesterday. The pinkness is almost all gone, now covered with gray/brown/white fuzz. They venture out of the nest on their own, and then the mom or dad would usher them back. I guess they are not independent yet, perhaps like a teenager, who still needs to […]
These are interesting passages: Acts 20:22 Paul was compelled by the Spirit to go to Jerusalem, “not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.” Acts 21:4 “Through the Spirit [the disiciples] urged Paul not to go […]
No hamster talk today. Mike says I am getting too involved, but they are like my babies! Elliot is taking theater arts, and has been practicing for his role as minister! He officiates a wedding in this student-written play. Yesterday they did their actual performance in front of a live audience of students during second […]
Dusty, short for Dustball our dad hamster, was missing yesterday! I found his running ball empty with the lid open on the kitchen floor. Audrey put him in the ball on the kitchen floor to get some exercise, unsupervised. We know he cannot go up steps, but he could be anywhere downstairs. Our search under, […]
Dusty the dad is looking heavy! Scary how “human” they can be: just like a dad to gain weight along with his pregnant wife, but Lucky has already shed her weight. He has no excuse! The babies are darker today, losing more of their pink newborn look. They make a lot of squeaking noises. I […]
Do I have any deep profound thoughts on this my special day? Well, I don’t feel any older, but there is no escape from looking older. I have a great life, and a better one to come after this. I can only thank God for the abundant life I have in Christ.
Safe! It looks like all the baby hamsters are alive! Everyone moved out of the small igloo and into the bigger and luxurious nest that I thought was dad’s new house for himself. I realized I didn’t give them enough materials to build, so I’ve been giving them more napkin pieces to shred. Now they […]
