Thoughts from The Other Side of the Mountain: Philipism
http://thoughtsfromtheothersideofthemountain.blogspot.com/2010/01/philipism.html
Saturday, January 16, 2010. Every time we drive by one on the highway. Cute retention of his childlike naivete and wonder with the world but not so much on the fodder for meaningful conversation. He likes to sit in the front seat of the van but he doesn't *do* anything there. He just sits. Our conversation might go like this. So, whatcha thinkin' about? You're looking out the window, I bet you have something on your mind. Something you see outside? Yep, there's a dumptruck. So what did you read? Yes, he ...

Thoughts from The Other Side of the Mountain: How That Doesn't Happen or My Totally Geeked Out Cycle
http://thoughtsfromtheothersideofthemountain.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-that-doesnt-happen-or-my-totally.html
Tuesday, January 19, 2010. How That Doesn't Happen or My Totally Geeked Out Cycle. Seemingly clever people, upon hearing how many children we have, will often exclaim with a perverse grin on (usually) his. Face, "Don't you know how that happens? My stock response is "Yes, we do. We like it very much and we are apparently much better at it than you. Would you like some instruction? So just to set the record straight, we do, indeed, know how that. So what's a tired couple to do? So the real kicker here is ...

Thoughts from The Other Side of the Mountain: An Open Letter to Adoptive Parents who Haven't Heard it Yet
http://thoughtsfromtheothersideofthemountain.blogspot.com/2010/07/open-letter-to-adoptive-parents-who.html
Wednesday, July 28, 2010. An Open Letter to Adoptive Parents who Haven't Heard it Yet. You know who you are. You're the one who had a dream, a hope, a vision of a family in love and intact. You traveled to a foreign country, you pored through websites and adoption listings, you went through the nail-biting hassles of a homestudy and finally your family was formed! He's so well-behaved and you think If you only knew. As you parry "Is he your real son? It's ok to say it. It's ok to say you're tired, worn o...

Thoughts from The Other Side of the Mountain: Ugh
http://thoughtsfromtheothersideofthemountain.blogspot.com/2009/11/ugh.html
Tuesday, November 10, 2009. This remarkable photo was in my email in-box today. I think it is the most disgusting rendering of "Jesus Christ" (I can't even seriously say that who it's supposed to be) I have ever seen. It's sort of a Jesus-Cross-Dresses-As-Danielle-Boone portrait. Protestants seriously need to explore real iconography and stop clogging our Christian pop culture with this nonsense. Lord have mercy! Its pretty bad, for sure. Do you think its worse than the one I posted on my blog last year?

Thoughts from The Other Side of the Mountain: March 2009
http://thoughtsfromtheothersideofthemountain.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 22, 2009. John Michael is frequently out and about with me since he is the only one in the family who likes. Judgmental maybe, too. Something for others to be comfortable around me for long. I've mellowed over the years and now have a lot of wonderful, meaningful friendships but I had to learn to accept some weakness in myself in order to do so. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Thoughts from The Other Side of the Mountain. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! View my complete profile. Articles...

Saturday, April 25, 2009. Happy Thoughts for You. Sunday, April 19, 2009. Early Sunday Morning - Christ is Risen! Friday, April 17, 2009. Images from Good Friday. Thursday, April 16, 2009. Holy Week: Wednesday - Anointing. Here are some images from last evening's service of anointing. I took them on my cellphone so not the best.
