Well hallelujah.

After being wiped off the face of the internet for about 5 days, it seems I’m back. (I propose Commandment #11: Thou shalt not put your faith in computer servers.) Now my husband on the other hand, has not been so fortunate. His computer crashed about 5 days ago too (yes, not such [...]

We took a trip

So, we just got back from a trip to D.C. (which explains the lack of posts as of late). We saw some important things, you know, like the White House and other large buildings where a lot of highly-paid people hold our very lives in their hands. As usual, I spent my time [...]

I am delinquent

I have a confession to make. I am a people-pleaser. I like people to like me. I don’t like it when people don’t like me—it gives me hives.
Now, I know this is not healthy. I know this is not good. I know this is not Biblical.
But hey, I have lots [...]

And I thought they were just getting along splendidly

6-year-old: Will you play soccer with me?
4-year-old: Sure…but only if you pay me.

Running the race, Part 2

(If you’re just joining us, here’s Part 1.)

If we want to run a good race, there are two things we’ve gotta get rid of: sin (makes sense) but ALSO, anything that [...]

Running the race

I’ve been pondering Hebrews 12:1 & 2:

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set [...]

My TIME experience

So, now I’ve had a little time to reflect on the TIME article. It was good.
That’s all.
But I’ve never been interviewed for a publication like TIME—or any publication for that matter—and I’d just like to say a few words about the experience.
You know how it is when you know exactly what you’re trying to [...]

Are you wasting your life?

I’m a huge John Piper fan. I recently read his book Don’t Waste Your Life (scroll down to find the link; you can download a free copy). It’s a bit slow at the beginning, but it picks up fast and is so worth the read. He’s got some great quotes in there. [...]

Wow.

Sometimes, a little distance is good. Like when you take a break from blogging and then you go back to your blog after not having looked at it for months and then you see, you really, really see just how sick you really are.
I’ve been reading through previous posts and I have to say, [...]
