Lord, make me humble. (Or, something I’m learning this Lent)
I have been called opinionated and forthright. I have been described as assertive, honest, and forward. Unfortunately, these are all nicer ways of stating the truth: I’m kind of a bitch (and by kind of, I mean, very much). For Lent, I’ve been trying to give up this kind of behavior, and my success has [...]
Modesty Monday 2 – Rachel’s idea of Modesty
[I'd like to preface her post with this gentle reminder that I, alone control the comment section for this page, and I do so with a pc-meter finely tuned by an upbringing in an easily-offended blue-state. So I encourage everyone to be loving and accepting - you know, like Jesus.] For today’s Modesty Monday post, [...]
I was never a fan of Lifetime movies, but . . .
I have to be honest, I never really liked Lifetime movies. They always seemed so improbable – stuff like that never happens in real life. You know the type, Sally Field in a panic, searching for her daughter in an Arab country. Fuzzy focus, high-waisted jeans, lots of drama & melodrama. I used to hate [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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: [...]
Reverence before the Lord God of all Creation
I was privileged to grow up in what I think is the most beautiful church on earth. Here, let me show you: Right? I’ll show you the mural behind the altar later. But for now, see the side altars? The nun’s gallery? When I was little there was still an altar rail – though nobody received communion [...]
