The Reluctant Pilgrim

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net 
Do you ever have one of those reflective kinda days?  The ones when you wonder how you got to this particular place in your life?  I’ve had one today.  Every spring when graduation cards begin appearing at Walgreen’s — although I think they arrived shortly after Valentine’s Day this year — [...]

A Message From Kiera’s Computer

It’s Sunday again and therefore it is Kiera’s usual blogging day.  Last week, she didn’t blog because she was knee-deep in a curriculum project that she had to get to a church on Monday.  Today, she came home from church, all ready to blog but her computer, that’s me, had an attitude problem.
She’s been sitting [...]

Clueless

Happy Easter!
For many years I spent Holy Week giving birth (Figuratively!) to an Easter production.  Usually our last performance was on Saturday night and so Easter Sunday was celebrated with Worship, a long, hot bath and an even longer nap.  Don’t get me wrong!  I loved those productions and cherish the memories [...]

Lessons Learned from Dr. Seuss

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in a “Read Across America” celebration at a local elementary school.   The celebration had a Dr. Seuss theme, so of course I had to be involved.  Our instructions were to come prepared to read our favorite Dr. Seuss story.   As I was driving [...]

Empty Green Pants

Today’s blog starts with a little bit of reader participation.  Ready?
My name is Kiera, and I’m a Seussaholic.
This is where you say, “Hi, Kiera!”
If there was a 12-step group for people addicted to the writings of Dr. Seuss, I would definitely be a life-long, card-carrying member.  Of course with Dr. Seuss, [...]

The Usual Place

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
I didn’t go to church this morning.  Instead, I lounged on the couch chain-sucking cough drops while watching re-re-re-re-re-runs of M*A*S*H.  So Jeff went to church by himself; but, not without instructions!  He had a delivery to make to a very sweet young girl.  This girl is the daughter of some friends [...]

Ain’t it Cool?

We just finished watching the presentation of the Heisman Trophy and we cheered out loud when Tim Tebow was announced as this year’s winner.   I admire Tim Tebow greatly.  He is an incredibly talented guy.  He’s fun to watch.  He doesn’t talk trash about people.  He doesn’t play dirty.  Instead, he plays with amazing passion.  [...]

The Blessing of Ideas

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
As long as I’ve been writing Christian Drama, I’ve been asked, “Where do you get your ideas?” This is usually asked by people who don’t know me very well.   Anyone who knows me also knows exactly where I get my ideas.  From them.
Many times I’ve gone out to eat with friends only [...]

`Tis the Season for Lage Pumpin!

Have you heard?  The Colorado Rockies are in the World Series!   Apparently few people in Atlanta have heard the news.  Apparently few people in Atlanta have heard of the Colorado Rockies.  Period.
Last Thursday, my husband and I did a fairly thorough search of local retailers looking for Colorado Rockies t-shirts.    We [...]

Not My Area!

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Today my church, Dunwoody Community Church,  is hosting a day of service.  Different teams from the church are going to serve at a dozen worthy organizations in the community.  They are cleaning and repairing and moving and sorting.  They are helping people they’ve never met and probably will never see again.   They are [...]
