Haiku: Distance

Join the fun!
I love poetry. I just found this meme, "Sensational Haiku Wednesday" and am excited to participate :).
The basics: Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively.

This week's theme is Distance.

    Oh sending long distance {{hugs}} I let my daughter go on a volunteer trip to Ecuador, it was so hard - although it makes college 120 miles away seem better.

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...

I was excited to get an opportunity to review this brand new VeggieTales DVD. The Little House That Stood cleverly combines the story of the Three Little Pigs with the parable of the wise & foolish builders (Matthew 7:24-27, Luke 6:46-49). The Three Little Pigs come to Cabbageville looking to build their houses. They meet three different builders: Larry who builds with hay, Mr. Lunt who builds with bricks, and Bob who builds with wood. But only Bob the Builder builds his houses on a firm foundation by following instructions from the Master Builder's Handbook. Kids...
