Why God Lets Your Kids Embarrass You
by Courtney Buxton, A Work in Progress
We can laugh about it now, but I have a friend who prayed fervently during... quiet times in church. It was not because she had a pressing need or felt incredibly close to God. It was because her baby had gas. Horrible, loud gas, and she just knew that one day his precious little infant self would rip one in church, and everyone would turn to look at her. Would she point at the baby, shrug her shoulders and smile sheepishly? Would she turn and look disgusted at the person beside her? Would she sit down and die? Thankfully, she never found out. God answered her prayers for no toots in church, but sleeping through the night and no more diaper blow-outs took some time.
Every mom finds herself in that place of a desperate, not-to-be-embarrassed prayer at s

Most mothers, at some point in their child’s life, wonder whether they have problems hearing. This usually comes after the tenth time you have told them to do so...mething, and they haven’t responded. You begin to think, “What if he really can’t hear me?” I remember this happening to me when my oldest son was about 3 and a half. He was ignoring what I was telling him and I turned to my husband and said, “I really don’t think he can hear me.” My husband said, “Oh yes, he can. Watch this!” And he said in a very soft voice, “Do you want a cookie?” Sure enough, my son looked at him and said, “Yes, please.” But it is not always the case of children hearing what they want to hear- some children do have difficulty hearing and need to be evaluated by a doctor.

Monday, April 15, 2013, Patriots Day, marked the 117th year of the Boston Marathon, the oldest marathon and most well known. For those of us in the running community, it is the... “marathon of all marathons”…the most prestigious of them all. The race allows 20,000 participants who have qualified by running a previous marathon and have met the strenuous qualification times to run this race. Just so you will know how fast these runners truly are, the qualification times are:

As we age, tiny creases takeover our foreheads, lines droop from the edges of our mouths, and our pouts, well lose their poutiness. Even if you're not the kin...d of girl who gets work done, you may still be curious about how to erase those awful scowl marks that haunt your photos. When nobody is looking, you may visit the dermatologist office to find out what can be done. You might even ask what the differences between botox and fillers are, not that you'd use them or anything.
As an esthetician, this is the number one question I get! Botox and fillers are an excellent way to obtain a more youthful, fresh appearance. Let me first explain how they work to help you choose which one is best suited for you.

Botox is a treatment designed to treat wrinkles typically found in the upper

And now it’s happening again--as a first-time grandmother. This isn’t your standard ‘mom becomes grandma’ story. The events leading up to the birth of Nelson’s granddaughter seem nothing short of a miracle to her family and friends.
The Promise
Rewind to July 2011. Nelson had a massive, near fatal heart attack. The situation looked grim. Her only child, Heather Nelson Goldwater, wasn’t sure if her mom was going to survive. In an emotional moment entangled with both fear and hope, daughter made a promise to mother. “In front of doctors, nur
