		<title>Remembering Orie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently shared here about my former pastor&#8217;s struggle with cancer and some thoughts about healing.  Sadly, the man I posted about passed away this past Saturday.  His name was Orie, and he was 55.
I had mentioned in that post that our relationship with Orie had been damaged and I had hoped for some sort [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=belowthesurface.wordpress.com&blog=1605466&post=365&subd=belowthesurface&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Look at Twilight, Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a continuation from my last post.  It was originally part of it, but I realized that the post was entirely too long.  I&#8217;m fighting my husband for computer time, so I wrote it and posted quickly without realizing that I had left a novel!  :)  Please read my previous post before reading this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=belowthesurface.wordpress.com&blog=1605466&post=356&subd=belowthesurface&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Round One &#8211; A Look at Twilight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I made minor changes to this post and split it in two because it was just too long before.
I am going to try to do this without giving too much away for those of you who are interested in reading this series.  So, here goes!
I read the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer late last fall. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=belowthesurface.wordpress.com&blog=1605466&post=341&subd=belowthesurface&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Rowling vs. Meyer &#8211; My Perspective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not ashamed to admit that I love fiction &#8211; very much.  I love it more than non-fiction.  There was a time when I thought that made me less intellectual or philisophical or just less in general.  Now I say who cares?  Jesus loved fiction.  That fact is apparent to me based on how [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=belowthesurface.wordpress.com&blog=1605466&post=332&subd=belowthesurface&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Free Speech and Differing Opinions &#8211; Sometimes It&#8217;s Ugly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I never follow &#8220;beauty&#8221; pageant news.  Beauty pagents themselves disturb me, but I couldn&#8217;t help but notice the media frenzy surrounding the Miss USA Pageant last week.  Miss California, Carrie Prejean, made headlines with her answer to a question regarding gay marriage.  That now infamous moment during the pageant can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY-1cybT6p8.
There is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=belowthesurface.wordpress.com&blog=1605466&post=304&subd=belowthesurface&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Healing Prayer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never had to stare down death before.  My life has never flashed before my eyes.  I&#8217;ve never had a moment when I&#8217;ve wondered if I would be alive in the next minute or the next day.  I am grateful for that.
Death has never come early to anyone that I&#8217;m close to.  I was sad [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=belowthesurface.wordpress.com&blog=1605466&post=300&subd=belowthesurface&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Moment of Surrender</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have had a song on my mind and in my heart for two weeks, and it refuses to budge.  It is with me morning, noon and night.  I already mentioned that I&#8217;ve been listening to U2&#8217;s new CD, and Moment of Surrender has been haunting me.  It is a haunting song, and it is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=belowthesurface.wordpress.com&blog=1605466&post=288&subd=belowthesurface&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>White As Snow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was listening to the new U2 CD this evening and catching up on the blogs on my blogroll (well, at least starting with March&#8217;s posts since I&#8217;m eons behind!).  I love listening to new music, especially when it is good!  And I must say that I am already hooked on No Line On the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=belowthesurface.wordpress.com&blog=1605466&post=285&subd=belowthesurface&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Night Time Sledding



 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We were certain that our hopes for even just one snow this year weren&#8217;t happening.  Sunday evening changed all of that!  Nathan and Brianna were thrilled. Sunday night was the best time for play, as everything was too  frozen and packed the next morning.  Unfortunately, the neighborhood Bradford Pear trees were met [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=belowthesurface.wordpress.com&blog=1605466&post=259&subd=belowthesurface&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
