I originally wrote this post in 2010. I’m republishing it because it’s a pertinent topic that I hope will gain more traction in conversations among Christians! I want to be consistent across the board. If all of Christ is for all of life, I want to see Christ glorified in every realm of my life. …
I wonder how often you’ve experienced a strong emotion rise up in you, compelling you to speak out about something you’ve just heard or read? Something has been said (or written) that just gets to us, and we feel that we must say something about it. Now. Yes, something wrong or off may have been…
How Does She Do It? (The Making of an Atypical Woman) – “He takes a typical Christian woman, simply plodding along in seasons that span decades, and bit by bit he transforms her into something as atypical as they come. He makes her his — “from one degree of glory to another” (2 Corinthians 3:18)….
There were several excellent posts this week! How seared is our nation’s conscience that she tolerates this cruelty? – “If you have been paying attention to the abortion debate in America at all, none of this will be surprising to you. The pro-choice position excludes the unborn from the human community. It gives no consideration…
A few articles and a few highly recommended books (to read to your kids!) this week. WALSH: You Can’t Give A Lethal Injection To Criminals In New York But You Can Give It To Infants – “Speaking of lethal injection, in case you haven’t yet grasped how twisted this law is, consider that capital…
The Enneagram is all the rage right now, along with the MBTI, DISC, CliftonStrengths personality tests. Have you taken one…or all of them? Or are you sick and tired of hearing about them? I’m a little late to the game with the Enneagram, and I’m pretty sure I might be driving at least one friend…
I’m a bit of a resource geek. I want to be a lifelong learner, one who sets her face toward wisdom (Pr. 17:24), listens to wisdom (Pr. 13:14), increases in wisdom (Pr. 9:9), and much more! And, as each of these Proverbs suggest, a primary source for growing is through listening to wise people, both near…
It’s been said, “Good leaders are good readers,” and I agree. To read is to learn. And in order for people to learn from us, we must first be learners (and from sources other than books, I might add). And, while deserving of another blog post, I’ll insert that I also believe there is great…
Eleven years ago last month, I was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer, Leiomyosarcoma. What began with a routine annual Ob/GYN exam, quickly turned into multiple scans, a referral to a Gynecological oncologist, more scans, a referral to a Reproductive Endrocrinologist, yet further scans, a changed diagnosis, and one last scan. Needless to…
As women, whether single or married, we where many hats. I don’t know about you, but some of my hats are heavier or less attractive than others. And sometimes, I just don’t want to put them on. I know meal planning can feel like this for a lot of moms, and I’ve recently had a…
Recently, there was a nationwide gathering for college students called the Cross Conference. The focus was to inspire vision and equip students to go to the nations, “magnifying the kingly majesty of Jesus Christ.” As I read the quotes that streamed through my twitter feed, I was stirred in my faith. But I also became…
Recently, I felt battered and weary in my parenting journey. Can you relate to this glimpse into a normal day in my house with one particular child? Stumbling to the breakfast table, when told what would be served, a complaint is muttered. A rote adoration prayer with no heart to it is mumbled. A meltdown…
