Guest Post – A Day in the Life
Today I’m going to direct you to a guest post I wrote over at Catholic and Crunchy for Stacy. It’s part of her Day in the Life series. Well? Why are you still here? Go read it!
Partly to vent, and partly a plea for advice (but mostly to vent).
Y’know when you’re invited to something, and you just know it’s because they want your gift? You have a tenuous-at-best relationship with the person in the first place; you won’t know anyone (no, seriously, not one single person) besides the invitee; and it’s the kind of event where you know you won’t actually be able to [...]
By the Grace of God Alone
I’m starting to think that every single person in this country should spend time in a classroom. You know how Israel has compulsory military service for citizens? I want something like that for America. Not everyone is cut out to teach, but even the most challenged, most short-tempered person can cut out templates in the [...]
The nonsense between “Hello” and our first date.
Stacy, over at Catholic & Crunchy was polite enough to ask, after reading Our Love Story a little while ago, Ok, now you’ve left me hanging on how you got together after you left the bar with your then-boyfriend… you definitely need to post a follow up story … So, without further ado . . [...]
7 Quick Takes 10
My God, I’ve been doing 7 Quick Takes for 10 weeks. You know what else I could have done in this time, if I was sticking to things? I could be back in my old jeans, for one thing. Well, I guess that does it. By 7 Quick Takes 20 I’m going to be back [...]
Don’t tell me how to Worship
Well, my husband must be rubbing off on me, because I’m about to do some quoting. 1 Kings 19:9-12 There he (Elijah) came to a cave, where he took shelter. But the word of the LORD came to him: Why are you here, Elijah? He answered, “I have been most zealous for the LORD, the [...]
Lent – a Protestant Perspective
Lent is here, in ash-covered wonder, and we all take a deep breath and focus our thoughts on the suffering of Christ. As we start this season, I asked a dear friend of mine to write about her personal experience of Lent. Rachael is a strong, confident, and holy woman whom I admire & respect. [...]
Mardi Gras
So, if you read yesterday’s post, which was a part of the Lenten Linkup over at Alluring World, you saw my self-congratulatory rambling on my Lenten theme, but I didn’t give any specifics. Well, believe me, my inner Martha wouldn’t let me get away with not having very specific, concrete goals, so here they are: [...]
LENT!
Kayla at Alluring World is hosting a lovely Lent Link Up, and if you’re interested you should head over there to check it out! Every year, for a long time I’d give up swearing for lent. And every year, fora a long time, I’d fail miserably. Last year I gave up Diet Pepsi. Well, technically [...]
7 Quick Takes Friday 1.9
This Quick Takes is once again hosted by the lovely Hallie over at Betty Beguiles. Head there to read other (earlier) Quick Takes posts! Good old Brother Tony. He taught me many things in the two years he was my mentor teacher back at St. Matt’s. And now I’m blessed with a Husband who also [...]
