You guys, if you knew me before I became a vegetarian last year, you probably would have never believed that I would eat something that contained both red lentils and cauliflower. In fact, I probably would have thrown up ON YOUR FACE if you had even suggested it. But I eat this stuff like it’s … Continue reading

Welderbeth Presents: Timothy Palmer Music
You might not know it (based on the fact that my current playlists have a very high Justin Bieber to non-Bieber ratio) but I was pretty involved in the local music scene in Abilene when I was in high school. Yep, that’s right. I was lead roadie for the ska band “SkaSkank Redemption”, with my … Continue reading
Dear Daughter: This Love Runs Deep
Hi sweetheart- Happy Valentine’s Day! Dad and I are thinking about you. I’m collecting links of cute valentine’s ideas for when it’s time to make some for your classmates.

The Neti Pot Song
As is the case with most weird things, when I first heard about Neti-Pots, I freaked out and laugh-cried and then went out and bought one. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Neti Pots, it’s a plastic tea kettle that you fill with a warm saline solution that you pour into your sinuses. … Continue reading
Welderbeth’s Bi-Weekly Distractions

Anyway, I’m a bad Aggie, bad West-Texan, and probably bad American because I’m totally not in to football. … Continue reading

Welderbeth’s Bi-Weekly Distractions
I’m starting a new series over here where I can collect all of the things that have intrigued me via the interwebz for the last few weeks. The title says “bi-weekly” but, uh, don’t hold your breath. Enjoy! – Pathos’s blog post “What Would Jesus Make of “Passion” (Conferences)? Dare I say a thoughtful critique … Continue reading
Repost: Hey Sexy Lady
(Original 2010 xanga post here) Oh,wait. It’s a 12 year old girl. At the beginning of the summer, I decided to start throwing in some nonfiction reading so that I can know some things. (I started out with The Wal-Mart Effect, which was an excellent read and ended my love/hate relationship with Wal-Mart (now, there’s … Continue reading
All In
And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. (Mark 12:30) This was Jesus’s response when a tricky trickster tried to trick him by asking what the greatest commandment was.
