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 [...]

School Days

By Kiera Rich – krich13@bellsouth.net
I heard something very disturbing and rather disgusting on the news last night.  There are two counties in Georgia who start school TOMORROW!  Although I love the beginning of the school year, school does not start in August.  School officially begins the Tuesday after Labor Day.  Everyone knows that.  Any other date [...]

Do NOT Show Me that Mouse or Embracing the Differences

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Saturdays at the Rich house are generally pretty quiet.  We try really hard to not do much.  Our main goals yesterday were getting the sheets changed on the bed and eating something for supper that was not ordered at a drive-thru.  I am happy to report that both objectives were achieved.
We do have [...]

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 [...]

Fingerprints on my Heart

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Daniela is gone.  Last Sunday was supposed to be her last day but because church was cancelled due to weather, she slipped quietly out of town with no formal good-byes, no last hugs, no visible tears.  Daniela was the Children’s Director at our church.  Now she’s headed west to bless a new church [...]

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 [...]

`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 [...]
