Have you ever wondered how you would respond to a life-and-death situation?Or if you would have the courage to be faithful to Christ when there's a gun to your head?Or if you could travel through a jungle alone to reach people for the Gospel?Or if you could give up all your possessions?Or if you could remain (happily) unmarried, should the Lord order your...
Or, could be titled...10 Reasons Why Kitchen Remodeling is part of the CURSE!1. Trash Can Dance. Holding small trash-able object in hand, walk to middle of the floor. Raise eyes. Bow head. Half turn. Three steps. Pivot hips. Step back. Full turn. Five steps forward. Look 'round the room. No trash can in sight. Give up. Carry trash-able object around for the next...

Late one Friday night, I was driving home from a youth event. The Little Bro was dozing in the passenger seat. I believe it was rainy and foggy like another night, and so I was remembering not-so-fondly that I had smashed into a deer that night. And so I started singing. A random, spontaneous song. About that "fuzzy brown deer." Ten stanzas later...
Late night (for me!) conversation with The Sis while studying home decorating books and Country Living magazines. We decided that home decorating is not that hard. It just takes an eye for beauty. And not everything has to match! In fact, some rooms didn't match at all. I don't think my matchy-matchy heart could handle that. Sitting on the grass in a park...
I promised more words/explanation/blogging several days ago and haven't got to it until now. Living takes alot of time. Sometimes I lack the time to write about it. But for posterity's sake, here's a blog entry.I alluded to pain previously. Specifics are unnecessary. I just want to talk a little bit about what God has been teaching me in the last week. Things...
I find it funny that no one commented yet on the post about The Zing! Nobody wants to touch it! Or else, you all think I'm wack. :) Haha, no worries though. One certain commentator inspired a long conversation about eye color last night. First in this blog, she was The Brown-Eyed Girl. Then she was The Hazel-Eyed Girl. Now, because the doctor...
I asked my Sis to give her perspective on preparing for marriage. She's 5 1/2 years into this institution of marriage, with a Godly husband and two adorable girlies she's busy training in righteousness. She's an inspiration to me, not because we are blood-related (though that helps!) but because we are of the same spiritual family. She's seeking the same prize as I...
Call it what you want. Attraction. The Spark. Chemistry. The Zing! It all comes down to the same thing. That mysterious magnetism between a man and a woman. Even a writer in Proverbs said that he didn’t understand it. Me either. I try not to think about it too much, because my mind just can’t figure it out. Good thing I’m not gonna...
We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you...Things I Almost Did Yesterday.1. Went to Starbucks for a vanilla bean frappucino. Soooo close, yet common sense prevailed. I was going running after getting home and that sugar rush certainly wouldn't have helped me run better.2. Jumped in an ice-cold pond of spring water. After running in the warm weather, the very awesome dog...
This post is for the girls. We're talking a bit more specifically than just basic Christian character. The world likes to talk about "deal-breakers." As in, those weird quirky things that make it impossible for you to continue in the relationship. Most of the time, those are just plain selfishness and not preferring one another in love. But hey, the world is full...
God's voice will come primarily through the Word, and the inward witness of the Spirit. You gotta know for yourself that this is the right person to marry and the right time to marry, because after all, you're the one making the life-long, unchangeable, unbreakable commitment. However, God does also use other avenues to reveal or confirm His Word to you.1. Your parents....
Some people think that I'm unromantic. HA! (The Sis is falling over in laughter--I can tell) Really, I just choose to keep that part of me (mostly) hidden for the present time. Some people have thought that I'm unreasonably strong in the area of relationships, because I don't make my struggles known publicly. Some people have thought that I'm crazy because I don't...
I couldn't help laughing last night, as The Little Bro compared marriage with buying a car. There was a good point to that whole conversation. Though I won't go into it right now. But marriage and the pursuit of marriage occupies a bit of my time and thoughts and prayer. So I want to "pontificate" (as The Pastor would say) on this subject...
FridayPeeling four bags of apples. Mixing up six pie crusts. Tasting batter for whoopie pies. Dropping crumbs on the floor. Teaching The Papoose to communicate with a birdie. Discussing literature with The Sis & The Bro-In-Law. Laughing with The Sparkly Girl. Making hot french vanilla cafe while my feet hurt. Opening the oven doors. Packing up to go home. Driving in the darkness....
