In Search of the Weinermobile

By Kieran Lin Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Utterly baffled.  That’s what we were.  Wednesday morning Jeff and I stood, shivering violently, in the rental car garage at the airport in Omaha, Nebraska.  We had rented a car but, due to a series of unfortunate events, (Belonging to the rental company, not us.) we were still waiting for [...]

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 [...]

Caution: Falling Coyotes

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday morning.  So instead of doing my usual Saturday stuff, I sat on the couch with the remote, a big fuzzy blanket, and two even fuzzier cats.  Feeling gross always makes me reach for the familiar and the comfortable.  Yesterday was no exception as [...]

It’s a Wonderful Life

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Outlook went nuts this morning as it began downloading all of my email.  My box was absolutely jammed!  I was feeling very popular and really excited until I started wading through my inbox.  With the exception of a reminder from the library about some books I have due next week, every other [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Switching the Bait

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
We had an interesting thing happen on Friday morning.  Shortly after we returned from a morning workout that neither of us were interested in, the phone rang.  I glanced at the Caller ID and was more than a little confused by what I read as it was our name and number.  [...]

The Amazing “Catch”

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
The summer that I turned 9, I met a new girl at the YMCA pool.  Kari’s family had just moved to town and she was 9 too.  It turned out that we lived just a few blocks from each other.  We became fast friends and spent our entire summer scheming about how [...]

Change Me on the Inside

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
I had sinus surgery last month.  At my pre-op appointment, the surgeon gave me a video tour of my sinuses.  It was grotesque and yet, strangely fascinating at the same time.  It was like watching a procedure on Discovery Health but having it be virtual reality as I could feel the [...]

I Wanna Go Home

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
It was a normal day.  A good day even.  We got up, went to breakfast, and then on to church.  We worshipped God in an extremely moving, inspirational service (with special guests “Sons of Mercy”!), and then we came home.  Everything was perfectly normal.  
But my heart was aching and my soul crying [...]
