31 Days of Real Life: What is the Source of Your Joy?

October 24, 2011

I started my morning worrying about three aspects of our Relevant trip: a sponsored car, two pair of pants I should have had hemmed before now, and something I needed to pick up in Atlanta (not a quick, easy drive). I needed to be “on” and productive, but instead I was stressed and in a [...]

31 Days of Real Life: The Lord Provides

October 18, 2011

One day a week I teach five subjects to a class of homeschool sophomores. This is my second year so I’ve done it all before, but sometimes things still slip up on me. On the way to church I realized that we’re studying mold—bread or cheese—under a microscope this week, and I forgot to “create” [...]

31 Days of Real Life: A Living Sacrifice

October 16, 2011

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. ~Romans 12:1 We’ve discussed how life can be difficult, particularly Sundays. Avoid the easy way out: don’t give up and stay at home, but rather get out of [...]

31 Days of Real Life: Easy Like Sunday Morning (NOT)

October 3, 2011

When Lionel Richie sang “Easy like Sunday morning,” he obviously wasn’t referring to a typical family getting ready for church. Not ours, at least. Misplaced clothing, lost shoes, sleepy-headed stragglers, flaring tempers: all this and more fight against us on any given Sunday. This week our 10-year-old son got in the car in dress short [...]

What I Learned from Sara

September 26, 2011

Sweet Sara passed on from a life of pain and confinement to one of pure joy and freedom late Saturday evening. (Read my tribute and those of many others here.)

September 25, 2011

“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding” ~Daniel 2:21 (Does it feel like fall to you? What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods? We’ve got highs near 80 and lows near [...]

Choose Joy: For Sara

September 21, 2011

A week ago I learned that my friend and fellow (in)courage author, Sara (or Gitz, as she is affectionately known), won’t be here with us much longer. Sara suffers from a disease with a long, complicated name. She has been homebound for some time, gets sick easily, and lives with constant pain. Sara’s mother, brother, [...]

10 Years Later: We Remember

September 11, 2011

I remember exactly where I was on 9/11/2001 when I heard about the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center. My sixth child was five days old and I existed in that state of sleep deprivation familiar to new mothers. One of my kids gave me the surprising news and I went downstairs to [...]

Outward Aging, Inward Renewal today at (in)courage

July 12, 2011

“…but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” ~2 Corinthians 4:16 I’ve always intended to age gracefully. I still feel about 25 on the inside, so I just imagined my outside would reflect it accordingly. Boy, was I wrong. Join me for the rest of the post today [...]
