The Truth About Baby Names

Unsurprisingly, I’ve been doing alot of thinking about baby names lately.  We find out the sex of our baby on Thursday this week.  We have talked a little about names, but we decided to hold off on it until we knew if the baby was a boy or a girl, largely because we couldn’t agree…

Royal Wedding Reflections

I joined the throngs of millions who watched the Royal Wedding today. I did not wake up early, or attend a party, I just watched the reruns on ABC after I woke up. As I watched this beautiful couple move through the ceremony motions, I couldn’t help but think about my own wedding (6 years…

On Blogging… and Writing in General

I have had a very difficult time maintaining my blog this year.  It is not for lack of things to write about or talk about.  In many cases I have been distracted by other things or the things I want to write about, I don’t feel free to write about for various reasons. During this…

Going All In = Major Life Changes!

Last month I wrote about going “all in” with God. This month I want to tell you what going “all in” has looked like for us over the last several weeks. The week of my birthday, two life changing things happened in the Walters household. Brian, my seminary graduate husband, was offered a job in…

This Year I Am Going ALL IN

Today is my birthday.  Today I am 34 years old.  I really don’t feel 34.  I feel somewhere between 28 and 30, honestly.  But alas, one cannot change one’s age or turn back the wheels of time, so I am willingly settling into my mid thirties today with quiet confidence that this is going to…

May It No Be So For You and Me

Wondering who my teachers are?  My teachers are old, many of them are dead. …

Thirteen Years of Passion

In 1998, while a college student at Union University, I traveled to Texas with a group of about 200 other Union students to attend Passion 98. This was a gathering of college students over New Years who wanted to learn more about God and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Alot of my friends…

Romancing the Rome – Ancient Rome – The Eternal City

I am sure I am going to write UNLIMITED posts about Rome.  I Love Rome.  End of blog. Rome was my favorite city.  The food, the city, the people, the atmosphere, the ANCIENTNESS of it all (is that a word?). Rome is the most inspiring city I have ever visited. I can’t really bring myself…

Making Music 2010 Style

I am an Apple person, my husband and I have all manner of I-products in our house, from Apple-TV to I-phones and everything in between. So you can imagine how stoked I was to see these videos. One I saw about a month ago, a video of a the band Atomic Tom playing a song…
