See that bar right above here where it says “Blog”, “About Me”, etc.? I had seen lots of blogs had these handy stand alone pages, and I knew I wanted them on my blog (this was back when I was on Blogger). After a little poking around I discovered how to do it – its extremely easy, but the starting link is just not in a very obvious place. Apparently I am not the only one who initially didn’t find it straight-forward – yesterday there was a request to explain how I did this. So here you go, Blogger users: … Read more

This past weekend was soooo wonderful! I found out (kind of last minute) about a Christian ladies retreat happening just a couple hours away from me, and I so craved to go. A couple friends were coming down from Boston to speak, which is how I heard about it, but I thought I had found out too late and that I couldn’t get in so last minute. Let’s just say there were a bunch of phone calls, a bunch of frantic Facebook messages and emails – and I found out that there was still room! YES! I was super excited, … Read more

If I were to tell you I had a letter from a man in prison, who had not committed the crime he was imprisoned for, who had been mistreated and abused, who had no wife or children to comfort him, who just found out that people he should have been able to count on were slandering him, and that he might soon be executed – how do you think that letter would sound? Depressed? Angry? Bitter? That prisoner is the apostle Paul, and the letter is the one he sent to the church to Philippi, which we now call Philippians … Read more

Continuing the “Seek the things above” (Colossians 3:1) series, today, let’s think about this question: What does it mean to be faithful to God? Let’s think about it this way … what if your spouse said to you, “Hey, honey, I love you so much. And I want you to know I will always be faithful to you on Tuesdays and Fridays.” I think it’s a pretty safe bet to say that’s not going to cut it! No, being faithful isn’t an on-and-off switch. It is a part of life, it is a part of who you are. It’s not … Read more

Happy Wednesday, all! 🙂 Continuing on this week in the “Seek the things above” Wednesdays series of posts … with thoughts on the soul this week. Sometimes we hear fictional stories in which someone “sold their soul to the devil” … usually a red-caped pitchfork-bearing figure offering someone a legal document and haggling over price. That’s not how evil presents itself – with a “Ta da! Here I am!”. I think it would be much easier to recognize it were that way! But no, the devil doesn’t appear to us holding a pitchfork and giving us an ultimatum. Rather, he … Read more

Well, after being gone for over a week, we are home again! WooT! Yesterday (Tuesday) was our first day home, but it felt like Monday … probably because it was the first day getting back to a “normal” weekday. All day I kept thinking that it was Monday and that the NEXT day was Tuesday, to the point I almost forgot to write this post because I write my Wednesday posts on Tuesday night … so I thought I had another day. Oops! But, since you’re reading this, obviously I caught it in time! Next week starts the new Wednesday … Read more
