Just Do It

By Kieran Lin Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Jeff and I spent last weekend shopping for my perfect pants — or in this case, the perfect shorts.  Most husbands aren’t very enthusiastic about shopping with their wives; but, we have already established that Jeff is an exceptional husband.  And besides, the ellusive shorts were a sporting goods acquisition which put them [...]

A Rich Life

By Kieran Lin Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
It’s cold today.  I’m looking out the window watching it rain.  I just had a moment of déja vu as this is sounding very much like the beginning of my blog of a few weeks ago.
There are a few major differences though.  One being that my usual view as I blog is of our cookie-cutter [...]

Our Best Nights

By Kieran Lin Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Friday nights are date nights for Jeff and Kieran Rich.  We take turns planning dates and try really hard to come up with something original once in a while – something that doesn’t include the standard “dinner and a movie.”
As a result, we’ve had some interesting dates.  One such date included [...]

A Painful Epiphany

By Kieran Lin Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Something happened to me last Sunday that has never happened before.  Jeff and I were visiting the next contestant in our seemingly ever-present quest to find a new church home.  Nothing unusual there.  We were enjoying the experience, although the church was on the smallish-side, thus making Jeff and I stick out [...]

To Live with Fear

By Kieran Lin Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Note:  This blog has been kicking around in my draft file for several months now as its subject is something I truly struggle with and am not exactly comfortable writing about.  Every time I’ve written on this file, I kept asking myself, “Do I really want to put all of these [...]

Out of my Shell

By Kieran Lin Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
I decided last week that I didn’t want to be “Kiera” anymore.  It’s just not natural and it’s just not me.  Yes, I do realize that I am opening myself up to a lifetime of correcting people about how to pronounce my name; but it’s better this way — at least [...]

Confessions of a Wheel Re-inventor

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
In the latest installment of  ”The Rich Family searches for a new church home”, we actually made progress today.  The pastor didn’t try to scare anyone with “Accept Jesus or be hit by a bus” shtick, the worship was decent, and the people who greeted us seemed very…well, normal.  After a few of the places [...]

Go Change the World

By Jeff Rich – RichJ44@bellsouth.net
Disclaimer:  I’m afraid you’re in for another edition of the Jeffrey Blog(tm) this week.  Kiera is very busily working on a new Sunday School curriculum and Friday night, in an attempt to lower her stress level, I innocently asked “What can I do to help?”
“Well…you could clean the bathrooms tomorrow, that [...]

Thankful

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
As the calendar year winds down, top ten lists are all the rage.  So I thought I would conclude a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with a little list of my own.
Here are, in no particular order, things that I am especially thankful for. 
10.  Escaping from Atlanta.  Moving.  Running away to home.  However [...]

That’s Entertainment!

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
I have this little game that I play when I can’t sleep at night.  Due to a stubborn and persistent streak of insomnia, I’ve been playing a lot lately.  The game is pretty simple.  I lay in the dark and think of things I really want to know that cannot be learned [...]
