If you’re anything like me, in the past three weeks, you have been inundated with links and information about abortion, about Planned Parenthood, about scandalous undercover videos. If you’re anything like me, you’ve read about what’s going on behind closed doors, you’ve been horrified and saddened by the words and images shared, you’ve wondered how … Continue reading "On Second-Trimester Abortions and Controversy and the One Question that Matters"

If you’d like to join us as we remember, you can comment on this post with what you … Continue reading "What I Learned in June"

I read an opinion piece published on The Spectator this week, one regarding the recent vote in Ireland to legalize gay marriage. In it, gay atheist Matthew Parris criticizes the Archbishop of Dublin and his response to the referendum, but not for the reasons you might think. Not because the Archbishop was too harsh, or unloving, or judgmental. … Continue reading "The Full Story: On Archbishops and Scandals and Grace"

“China, two years after the end of World War II. Two American couples, husbands both pilots for the Marine Corps, wives both new mothers. A shared love of flying, a shared enjoyment of golf. A shared language, not to be disregarded in a foreign land far from home. Superficial things on which to build anything … Continue reading "Lifelong Friends"

Here are the things that caught my attention this week: First, from Brain, Mother, an essay about ice cream trucks and childhood and enjoying small pleasures. “But isn’t life richer for the dd, beautiful things that we experience?” I found this exploration of the history of those who were against woman’s suffrage in Britain to … Continue reading "Worthwhile Weekend Words"

I’m joining Emily over at Chatting at the Sky as we reflect on the things we learned in February. In no particular order: 1. Yoga pants. I could wear them all day every day. There was a big kerfuffle about yoga pants and modesty earlier in the month, and I paid absolutely no attention to any … Continue reading "What I Learned in February"

I sometimes have a hard time remembering that small things matter. Perhaps that’s a part of why I started this blog – to remind myself, more than anyone, that faith happens in the daily, in the mundane, in the ordinary, that I need to choose, this moment, who I am going to serve. There were … Continue reading "Worthwhile Weekend Words"

We attended the retirement party of a good friend, a godly man, last week. It was a crowded affair, some 150 odd people crammed into a small gathering place to recognize and celebrate the thirty-six years of his life that he devoted to the ministry. To be clear: when I say “the ministry”, I don’t mean … Continue reading "He Loved Well"
