Finding Direction: The Wind Vane Chronicles

I’ve decided that today shall be “Question Day” here at Finding Direction.  You ask me questions and I’ll answer.  Any subject/topic, full of meaning or meaningless, things that have really been bugging you about me/us/the “fam” that you don’t know, but would like to know, anything philosophical or educational that you think I might have [...]

Just a quick follow up to the “Tom’s Caps” contest of a couple of weeks ago.
Yesterday, Tom picked out one of his favorite caps to send to the winner of the contest, Greg England, who is going to love it, even though he doesn’t wear caps.  He may wear this one, however, from now on.
Instead [...]

Note:  I know it’s been a while, but when the last segment of "The Great Road Trip of 2009" ended, it was just after midnight Thursday morning, April 2, 2009 and Mom, Laura & I were on the road from Abilene to Mississippi in our hotel room in Shreveport, LA getting a good night’s rest.  [...]

[Note:  Really bad medical news Tuesday - as in not much hope for relief of any kind for my pinched nerve from C3 through C7 trauma in my neck, but today I am in considerably less pain than the past few days & considerably more optimistic, seeking all options from here to Birmingham to Houston, [...]

The pain has been such, I’ve not really been able to blog.  What few hours I have most evenings are being spent on necessities around here that I am way behind on.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow afternoon when I see the orthopedist a second time, this time with my six precious MRI films.  I’m hoping [...]

Severe pain continues from this pinched nerve – five weeks, now.  Some days overwhelming, others a bit better.   Physical therapy helps little.  Traction helps some.  Heat helps some.
Friday evening and Saturday were good days, but Sunday horrific, again.  Today is really bad right now, despite physical therapy this morning, traction once (I’ve got to wait [...]

[Note:  I'm so sorry for being so long between posts in this series, but the past three days I've had excruciating pain from my pinched nerve and have just found the help I've needed, for over a month, yesterday and more so today.  So, please bear with me.  And - continue to pray with me [...]

I found out late last night that I’ve been named one of three finalists in the "Best Blog by a Female Blogger" category in the TheoBloggers’ Best Christian Blogs contest currently running.  I was very surprised, to say the least.
I’ve been here at "Finding Direction: The Wind Vane Chronicles" now for over four years and [...]

I was born on March 2.  
And Tom & I married on March 2.
So, today is a significant date for us for those reasons.
Today is also a significant date for me as a Texan and for several million people, or at least it should be, in the great state of Texas.  You see, today [...]

You know . . . this technological, fast paced, instant communication between total strangers across vast spaces around the world society we live in has its pitfalls.  Using our computers the way we all do is one of the leading ones.
Yep – I’ve been duped again.
And I’m mad at myself because I should know [...]
