Do you know what I’m afraid of the most? I said, as I slipped on socks before bed. (Keepin’ the romance alive.) What? he said. Knowing when school starts I’m going to mess up something with someone, I said. Yes you are, he said. And you’ll be in a school full of other teachers who…
Even though I became a writer who maneuvers words more easily than numbers, I’m glad dad made me take high school physics. Yesterday I mowed the lawn and hefted a heavy bag of grass into our already-stuffed dumpster. With today’s trash pickup in mind, I grabbed the handle of the dumpster and pushed against the…
That preacher man made us do something glorious in church a few weeks ago, but he moved on too quickly, if you ask me. I wanted to shout out, Hold up, my love, can we just soak this in for a minute? In the middle of his sermon he said something like, Raise your hand…
It makes my husband crazy that I recycle. (Possibly related to the number of times he has tripped over empty milk jugs in the garage?) I think if it were not for me he would throw old mail and plastic containers in the garbage. You heard me right. So I do not have the nerve…
Watch this creative video and consider God’s imagination. “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.” (Ephesians 3:20 NIV)
Why are we free in Christ but it sure doesn’t feel like it? This 53-minute sermon by Timothy Keller is full of glorious hope and is well worth your time.
I just made a double batch of my fudge brownie recipe, to send with friends to use at their children’s camp. I did lick the spoon –always willing to risk salmonella for the sake of chocolate. I wish you could smell my house right now. I refuse to buy a box mix because my homemade…
I went to a baby shower this weekend (an unfortunate reminder of my advancing age). As I sat fairly close to the mother-to-be, it fell to me to hold the garbage sack. For an hour, while the mom opened gifts, I dutifully filled the sack with wrapping paper, ribbon, and tissue paper. I was helping….
I recently wrote about God’s power on Mondays, and a friend thought I should make this a series. Seems like a great idea, so I’m going to bring you Monday Power posts for a while. (It’s so fun to have your own blog and just do whatever fun thing you want!) Let me begin by telling…
Her feet swung from the piano bench, until we turned the page. She saw all those black notes, and her legs stopped swinging. That’s too hard! I can’t play it. It’s too hard! You can, I said. (Ignoring her most pathetic sighing and already-defeated slouching.) And we started in. One measure at a time. No, that’s…
It’s a goal-making kind of day. This year I will clean regularly. I will read the Bible every day. I will exercise myself back into those jeans (which spent all of December 26 unsnapped). I will… But it’s not the resolve that stands with chin up today. It’s the I can. Any mom wills to…
