Hi there. I'm Amy. I write here about my life and my issues. I also design blogs and websites at Uncluttered Design. I'm a mom to 4 and a former pastor's wife.

The Things They Come Up With
As we were sitting at the dinner table, I was telling my husband that someone we know just had a colonoscopy. (Perhaps not the most pleasant thing to talk about at the dinner table but hey, if the kids happen to be quiet for a moment—because they’re shoving food into their faces—you just take Continue reading...
Where I Was…
I’ve seen the following on several blogs and I thought I’d try it myself. That’s right. I’m copying and not giving credit because I don’t know to whom credit is due and I can’t remember at this moment where I saw it anyway. If this is your brainchild, please say “I” lest Continue reading...
3 Things…
1. I’m in a funk. “Purpose” is elusive at the moment.
2. I would be totally bummed if I was Hosea and God told me to marry a prostitute.
3. It’s a good thing God knows what He’s doing.
I Was Just Thinking…
Blogging is a weird form of communication. (By the way, for those of you who don’t realize it, what you’re reading is a blog.) It’s mostly one-sided of course. In fact, the majority of the time I feel like I’m just talking to myself. What’s really interesting is that it’s like Continue reading...
What is My Deal?

First we spent a few days in Annapolis, MD with some longtime friends. Ours is a relationship of iron sharpening iron and I think we’re all the better for it.
Next we flew to Continue reading...
You May Feel Alone, but You’re Not

Anyway, Just Between Us magazine Continue reading...
I Didn’t Die
It’s hard to believe, but we actually have friends who want to spend time with us (go figure), so we are goin’ on a trip (also hard to believe).
Just when we get back, we’ll turn around and fly out to B’s grandfather’s funeral.
I don’t know what our travels will bring in the way of blogging Continue reading...
Since I’m on the Subject of Tips…
As I’ve said before, I’ve got issues—too numerous to count really.
One that is particularly distressing, however, is rather embarrassing and not something discussed openly very often. But, since I am among friends, I feel comfortable sharing with you this rather annoying problem of mine.
I’m talking about underarm odor.
Some of us sweat more than others Continue reading...
