Matthew 7

In: Faith, Reading on: March 8, 2023

I don’t know about you, but as I read through the Bible I sometimes go on autopilot—by that I mean that I read familiar passages without noticing the things around them. But then there will be that moment that the light bulb …

Slowing Down the Word with Summer Gross

In: Faith on: February 8, 2023

I met Summer at our recent Mary DeMuth Literary retreat. She is a beautiful, peace-filled woman who loves Jesus and the Word of God. Not only does she exude peace in her person, when she speaks, her voice rolls over you like …

Goals, Intentions, and Expectations

In: Faith, Life on: January 5, 2023

Here we stand at the beginning of a new year. And for so many of us, our minds turn to yearly goals. I’ve been thinking a lot about that these past couple of weeks. A few years ago I shifted toward “intentions” instead of …

Introverts and the Christmas Season

In: Faith on: December 14, 2022

Jesus, Love, and Tacos by Carrie Stephens

In: Faith, Reading on: October 12, 2022

Y’all know non-fiction—especially Christian living non-fiction—is not really my go-to genre to read. Not that I don’t like it, I just need to know it’s worthwhile. And usually, for me, that means a Holy Spirit desire to pick …

Droughts

In: Faith on: August 24, 2022

We are headed to Boston in October to visit our daughter, see the condo she bought (last spring!), and leaf peep. But the other day she sent us an article about the effect of the current drought on the fall colors.  Turns …

What’s Waiting Up Ahead?

In: Faith on: June 22, 2022

  I found this old post I wrote near the end of 2010. A much younger me, and yet much needed wisdom for older me today. May you need this encouragement, too: “It would be so much easier if I knew now that I’d be …

Reminding Myself

In: Faith on: May 12, 2022

As my adult children are getting themselves settled into houses and jobs and children, I’ve been praying—a lot! Those are big things. And each brings with it other ups and downs to weather. At some moments it is hard to stand …

God Doesn’t Give Busy Work

In: Faith, Writing on: May 5, 2022

I’m sure you are familiar with the concept of “busy work.” It’s the work given in an educational setting that keeps the students occupied for a period of time but doesn’t contribute much to the overall educational goals. …
