Max and Ruby

I would like to report two children to bunny family services. In nearly every episode these young children are pictured out and about without any parental or adult supervision. I have seen grandma once, but I have serious concerns as to the care being given to these bunnies. They seem extremely well adjusted, and appear to be clean and well-fed. However, little Ruby should not be carrying the burden of caring for and supervising her little brother Max the majority of the time.

sincerely,

concerned viewer parent.

Another Year Older

I'm 28 now. I think it fits. It's not that I feel "old" but that I have a husband, two kids, I'm in the process of buying a house. 28 sounds about right, even though I didn't expect to have all of these things at 28, I was thinking more like 35 or something.

When venturing into the world at the tender age of 18, I didn't imagine getting married right out of college, but I did. I didn't imagine getting pregnant after only 2 years of marriage, but I did. I didn't imagine ever living in St. Louis again. But I am! (Do you see a theme here?)

I guess my point is, the last 10 years have brought a lot that I didn't expect - at least not in the timing that things came. But, it's all very good and I am an incredibly blessed person. 28 fits.

I wonder what I'll be saying 10 years from now? Trippy

Friends

I am continually humbled and thankful to have friends who are so much more generous, intelligent, thoughtful and talented than me.

O Heart Bereaved and Lonely


1. O heart bereaved and lonely,
Whose brightest dreams have fled
Whose hopes like summer roses,
Are withered crushed and dead
Though link by link be broken,
And tears unseen may fall
Look up amid thy sorrow,
To Him who knows it all

2. O cling to thy Redeemer,
Thy Savior, Brother, Friend
Believe and trust His promise,
To keep you till the end
O watch and wait with patience,
And question all you will
His arms of love and mercy,
Are round about thee still

3. Look up, the clouds are breaking,
The storm will soon be o'er
And thou shall reach the haven,
Where sorrows are no more
Look up, be not discouraged;
Trust on, whate'er befall
Remember, O remember,
Thy Savior knows it all
