Unity makes a beautiful song. Even if outsiders can’t understand our language, they can feel the oneness we have in Christ. Jesus prays… “also for those who will believe in me…that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be brought to complete…
I almost went into anaphylactic shock standing over my school desk today. Is there an Epi-Pen or a defibrillator or something for a new teacher who has so many papers stacked on her desk she can’t breathe? Someone call 9-1-1! Papers to grade. Papers to hand out. Papers that have been graded and need to…
I have a dear friend who owns her own paint color wheel, and when she walks into Columbia Paints they call out her name in a hello. So I casually wished aloud to paint my living room and begged her to take over. She pretty much told me we were going to be painting this week….
Good morning, I usually share a meaningful link with you on Sunday mornings, but I’ve been on vacation this week, including a break from spending time on the internet, so I got nothin’! So can we just chat? I’m sitting here in my pajamas at 5:24 a.m., and my hair is a mess. I’m going to eat my normal…
Like a woman cooking a large family meal, I have a pot on every burner right now. Front right is the woman who has given up on her husband. Back right is the child still going the wrong direction. Front left is the young woman who has given up on her family. Back left is the woman who…
I sat on the couch yesterday morning, with my Bible in one hand and a hot cup of coffee in the other. (Always these two things go together.) And I told God of this black hole I have inside of me that pulls for approval. I feel like I should just walk around with a…
I went to the tiny town of Lakeside yesterday, to meet up with my Australian friend (mostly to listen to her cool accent over a cup of coffee). Driving through the entire town lasts only two minutes, so I was frustrated when I couldn’t find the coffee shop. I finally pulled into the grocery store parking…
The favorite Tazo tea in our cupboard is “calm”. I guess if you steep the teabag long enough it soothes your very soul? I was just reading about John and Charles Wesley who played huge roles in the first American Great Spiritual Awakening. They were traveling from Europe to America when a huge storm came…
I’m thinking a lot about body image today. It could be due to the hour I spent at the mall eating fries, a lot of fries (DQ fry sauce is so good!), and then going to try on clothes in front of a full length mirror. A bad plan. To say nothing of the fact that…
The water ran stone cold from the faucet. My daughter couldn’t fill the bathtub, and I couldn’t do the dishes. (A disappointment for one –a cause of celebration for the other.) “I bet the pilot light is out,” said Matt. He laid down on the cement by the hot water heater. “Yup. The pilot is…
I used the last of the toilet paper yesterday. Since the beginning of toilet paper, which, according to Wikipedia, was used first by the Chinese in 6th century AD, there has been conflict within the user of the last square, about whether to replace the roll or leave it for the next guy to do….
Honey, there’s something on your leg. It was a tic. On a beautiful spring day, we set out with friends for a casual walk along a railroad grade. When I got up closer to him I saw it was tics. Plural. Lots of tics all over our legs. We looked down, and they were like…
