Touchy or Touche

I can't remember where I saw it but it's been stuck in my head for awhile now.


I noticed the term "touche"  which is like a french term that means the following:


An acknowledgement of the success, appropriateness or superiority of an argument, sometimes used sarcastically to mock one's opponent's absurd logic.


I know what it means and how it is pronounced, but for some reason, my brain always reads "touche" as "touchy".  Touchy meaning:


Oversensitive and irritable





An interesting mix up.  Two other words I always mix up are "quiche" and "quickie", the mix-up, however, is not as ironic. I, on one hand, can be extremely touchy and irritable while tired.  I think I have been so tired lately that I don't even know that I am tired anymore.  I finally gave into a nice three hour nap today and woke up very refreshed and felt much better.  


Today the Abbott family went and got pictures to capture Haley at three months of age.  I am very excited to see how they turned out.  Since the pictures were outside, we were very lucky to have great weather.


Other than that, I really don't have much for today.  There is a good list of things that I should be doing but am not.  Oh well.  I guess we all need a lazy day now and then.  It has been requested upon me to make a homemade pie.  I can count the number of times I've made a homemade pie on well...no hands, because I've never done it before.  So I will be doing some research on pie making.  I have a feeling I will be soon blogging about my pie making adventure.  I need to call my sister-in-law, as I think she could out cook Betty Crocker. I hope everyone has a fantastic evening.  Get some sleep and don't be so touchy.


Until next time.....

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

At the time, deciding to leave felt like the most agonizing part of the whole ordeal. In hindsight, a few years of prayer journals were filled with distressing agony over desiring direction and reconciliation.  So much turmoil and emotional pain all the time. But we were constantly told that was to be expected. Hard was good. Hard truths. And iron sharpening iron. But in reality, We were all enduring death by a thousand paper-cuts. In reality, it was spiritual abuse.  In July of 2022, I sat in a lawn chair in California. It felt like a million miles from home.  We had been traveling the US, and hadn’t been home in weeks. I sat there, eating my bowl of chili.  As wonderful as the trip has been, I started to miss home. In my reflections. I counted my blessings. Home was good. Except one thing, I had a sense of dread when I thought about church. My chest would go tight. And my body felt shaky. I craved Jesus. I craved worship. I craved devotion. Being in God’s creation,...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...
