Our Christmas series continues–click to read Parts One and Two. Part Three: Mary “For the Mighty One has done great things for me; and holy is His name. And His mercy is upon generation after generation toward those who fear Him. He has done mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who […]
I had hoped to write an insightful Christmas post for today, maybe even to kick off a new Christmas blog series for this month. But it just hasn’t happened, and here I am barely getting a Tuesday post in at all. After a prayer meeting tonight, though, where a theme seemed to be how God […]
I’ve been sick for the past week. It’s been a while since I was truly sick—I’ve been fighting bugs all fall, but this one got me, with a genuine bad sore throat, slight cold, and yucky-feeling chest. At first, I’ll admit I half enjoyed it—the excuse to lie around and read Sherlock Holmes, watch a […]
I feel like I’m in a “waiting” stage of life right now. Waiting for a publisher. Waiting for some direction for my future. Waiting, I hope, for a man to partner and move forward with into that future together. I feel like I’ve often been waiting. And I know quite a few friends in a […]
It sneaks up on me, sometimes. I might check facebook, and see pictures posted by friends, some much younger than I, who seem to be living the life I hoped I might by now. One posts pictures of her adorable little girls, another of her new baby boy. Another just got engaged. I’m happy for […]

I know I’ll get to see her again before too long. I know this is a good thing and where God wants her to be […]
Those lyrics from Kiss Me, Kate—though I’ve actually never seen that musical—usually start going through my head about this time. Tonight marks the opening of our theater company’s summer musical—yay! And yikes! Unexpected challenges and curveballs always seem to hit when you’re putting on a theater production (well, why should this part of life be […]
We’ve been doing a lot of lifts in rehearsal lately. See? That’s me up in the air. Ahh! But it’s fun. 🙂 Most of us are rather new to lifts, but there’s something thrilling about them, though they can be tricky. Both lifter and liftee have to work together, getting the right grip, balance, position, […]
Read Part 1 here.God is big on waiting. Sometimes I wonder why. As I told Him recently one night before falling asleep, “You know, Lord, it would be a whole lot easier to trust You if I knew what was going to happen.” I wonder if I made Him laugh. But the response I sensed […]
