worth checking out…

i am a terrible blog linker. there’s so much good stuff floating around the blogsophere that it’s hard to keep up. but once in a while i like to take a little time and share what’s come my way that others might want to know about, too. check these out: jim palmer’s newest book being […]

holy rollers

i love the movies. if i could, i’d go every day. i especially love documentaries. last month a friend of a friend asked me to watch a review copy of holy rollers: the true story of card counting christians. i’d watch pretty much any movie, but one that involved christians and gambling made it even […]

happy 4th birthday, little blog.

4 years ago today 12.31.07, i was holed up in my house over christmas vacation starting this blog & joining facebook for the first time. wow, did those 4 years go fast. i am so thankful for the relationships i’ve made here, many of you i’ve now had the privilege to meet in real life, […]

movies + books = summer fun

i really am going to get back to the series on co-pastoring that i started a few weeks ago. the last post on friendship was related but today’s has absolutely nothing to do with it because it’s part the august synchroblog. this month’s topic is light & fun, no theology or politics or deep intention, […]

a time to…

this past weekend i facilitated a reflection exercise for my ex-good-christian-women’s group & i thought it’d share it here just in case any of you want to give it a try. it was our semester wrap & i wanted to do something that gave us some room to reflect & consider this season in our […]

oh happy day!

well, i made it over to a new blog platform, hooray! all of my posts & comments got here safely and i am relieved. one thing is very clear: i am a people person, not a computer person. it has been a huge, annoying project, and there are still some loose ends to tie up […]

looking back, looking forward

oh i am glad 2010 is over. it’s been the weirdest year. unexpected health issues, woes of parenting teenagers, and just the regular ups and downs of real life have really taken their toll. i am continuing to heal from back surgery but it is very slow going & frustrating. i have moments where the […]

because i like to make people feel better about themselves

i am not a very neat and organized person. actually, i am organized (i know some of you are chuckling right now, but i really do know where almost everything is). and if i had more time (and a full-time-personal-assistant) the truth is my life & my stuff really would be more organized because i […]

the order of the brokenhearted

even though i posted a few days early for international women’s day with the power of being wanted, i want to remind everyone that today, march 8th, is officially it so i hope that each of us take some time today to consider our contributions to the advancement of women in today’s world. i love […]

africa, in all its beauty & all its chaos

yeah, i needed a little break from church talk here & thought i’d shift gears today. i wrote this little piece as a momento from africa, a marker & reminder of our time there and what it meant to me. i shared it at our denver voca femina live share party a few weekends ago […]
