		<title>Winning Isn&#8217;t Everything, But It Sure Is Awesome!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This beautiful thing is called a NaNoWriMo winner web badge. Palmer and I both earned one this year! It was a great joy working with Palmer&#8217;s class with the Young Writers Program. Each student was challenged to write a 5,000 word novel. While not every student passed the finish line, they all seemed to enjoy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nano 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a year since I&#8217;ve blogged. Much too long. Much too long. I&#8217;m excited that November is just a few days away. For the last three years, November means National Novel Writing Month in our house. Palmer and I love it! His class participated when he was in 2nd grade, and his 4th grade [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s  November Again!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s November again! That means it is National Novel Writing Month (also known as NaNoWriMo). The goal of this literary free-for-all is to write 50,000 words in 30 days. Half the month has already come and gone and I crossed the 30,000 word mark today. I love my characters, but they seem to get into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leaning on God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I came across a verse in Colossians that challenged me. Colossians 1:4 (Amplified version) says, &#8220;For we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus [the leaning of your entire human personality on Him in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness] and of the love which you [have and show] [...]]]></description>

		<title>Faith With Substance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I began creating my web site a couple of years ago, my web master and I discussed colors, designs, links, etc. The one item he asked me to consider was a tag line. I had a difficult time creating just three or four words to describe my writing. Finally, after much thought, I settled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Praying for Our City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our church, Cumberland Community Church, is focusing on prayer. Our pastor will be teaching about prayer every week in 2010. I&#8217;m excited about a year long teaching on prayer as it is one of the ways I feel closest to God. Yesterday, we studied Abraham&#8217;s conversation with God in Genesis 18 concerning the city of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Tragedy in Haiti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The news continues to broadcast pictures and stories of those impacted by the earthquake in Haiti. The pictures are difficult to view. Seeing the pain in their faces is truly hard for me. I am so thankful for the emergency workers and the military personnel who are providing aid and relief to the people of [...]]]></description>

		<title>We Made It!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[National Novel Writing Month is over! This year&#8217;s success was especially sweet as I not only finished my 50,000 words in 27 days, but my group of second graders blew me away with their stories and word count. Their imaginations and creativity came out as their incredible stories unfolded. Twenty-three of the twenty-four students (and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Passing It On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today marks day 10 of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), and I crossed the 20K line! I&#8217;ve got 30,000 more words to go before the end of November. Last year, I made it to 50,000 words in 21 days. Don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll beat my record, but I didn&#8217;t deal with a two-day nasty migraine during [...]]]></description>

		<title>Parenting At Its Worst</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, my fine man and I attended the U2 concert at the Georgia Dome along with 100,000 other fans. U2 put on an incredible show, but it paled in comparison to the show in the seats directly in front of us. We found our seats before the opening band started. A nice-looking family of [...]]]></description>
