Getting Ready for a Baby

December 29, 2018 / Kiersti Giron / Christmas, faith, family, Music
4

Merry 4th Day of Christmas, friends! I’m glad we don’t have to stop celebrating Christmas quite yet, even if the 25th is now past. I love the old English tradition of the 12 days of Christmas, carrying us right up to Epiphany on the 6th of January. Sometimes I enjoy the days after Christmas even […]

The Promise: When Dreams Come True, Stories Live, and Nothing is Impossible with God

December 14, 2017 / Kiersti Giron / Christmas, faith, God's faithfulness, Jesus, Joseph, Mary, Michael Card, theater, writing
4

Last week, I sat in a darkened church and saw a story live and breathe on stage…the story of Immanuel. I saw a young girl, unsure about being betrothed to a man she knew little, have her world turned upside down when one of God’s heavenly warriors showed up in her little home in Nazareth, […]

He Never Said It Would Be Easy: of Theater Productions, Marriage, and the First Christmas

4

It’s almost Christmastime. In many ways, the season has already begun—Christmas music on the radio, Christmas movies on Netflix. We even got our Christmas tree this past Sunday, much to our kittens’ amazement and delight—and some scolding as we learn the Christmas tree is for looking at, lying under, and gently playing with the lower […]

Our God who Grieves: BBC’s Father Brown, Unexpected Tears, and Jesus

August 2, 2017 / Kiersti Giron / Burning Sky, Call the Midwife, characters, England, faith
2

My newest favorite BBC TV show is the cozy mystery series Father Brown, based on the character created by author G.K. Chesterton. He reminds me of a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Father Tim of the Mitford books, this balding, kindly priest with equally incorrigible compassion for lost sheep and taste for a good mystery. […]

Come and See: Glimpsing His Presence Now

March 22, 2017 / Kiersti Giron / faith, Jesus, Michael Card, Music, teaching
4

    We stood around our students, we teacher-chaperones, our arms outstretched over them. Together we prayed, aloud and all at once, as believers in Korean churches often do. And amid sniffles from the students and tears pricking my own eyes, I felt the presence of Jesus there, covering us, surrounding us.   Have you […]

Of Hidden Figures, Inaugurations, and Finding Reasons to Hope

  My husband and I sat in the movie theater watching Hidden Figures on Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year.   I loved the movie—so well written, directed, and acted, and such a beautifully inspiring true story. If you haven’t seen this uplifting film of three African-American women, mathematical and computer geniuses working at […]

Falling like the Rain: Mercies in the New Year

  It’s raining as I write this, pattering gently down outside the darkened windows of my parents’ white farmhouse-style home. I’m in their cozy guest room upstairs, the one with quilt-covered bed and fireplace and the little antique desk where I’ve done much writing.   Though I no longer live in this place, it’s been […]

Looking to the Kingdom: Of Elections, Division, and Reasons to Hope

November 15, 2016 / Kiersti Giron / Downton Abbey, faith, spiritual warfare
2

  It was Election Day, and my Journalism students entered the classroom vigorously debating the merits—or lack thereof—of the U.S. presidential candidates.   I told them that it was fine to have opinions, but they needed to be civil to each other. Upon which some defended their freedom of speech, only to be reminded that […]
