I’ve realized that this blog has become something other than what I intended it to become when I started it. That’s fine. The problem is that, with most of what I want to post lately, I find myself torn between posting it here and posting it to my “personal” blog. They’ve both become personal. Therefore, [...]

Only human

If you can’t tell, I’m giving up on the series on evangelism and formation. I think it’s important, but my thought aren’t formed-enough on it, yet, to be able to do it justice. It’s simmering around back there, but it’s not yet ready to eat.
What I am thinking a lot about his this–I am only [...]
Thunk

I’ve never before been a blocked creative, but that’s really how I feel lately. I try to think about writing, ideas, etc., and there’s nothing there. No, it’s not like that. It’s not like reaching into a pond, feeling around, and finding nothing. It’s more like reaching into a pond only to hit a wooden [...]
Climbing to the light

L.L. Barkat, over at Seedlings in Stone, has written a beautiful post about why we healing takes time. I love the image of being stuck in a labyrinth, and having to climb out even after we’ve found light.
It parallels nicely with another image of growth that I’ve come across. It’s like we’re climbing from the [...]

…to announce that God is good. Dave got a job that we’ve been waiting on, for various reasons, for almost 3 months. Yay. There are still some steps to go through before he actually signs a contract, but basically the job is his and he’ll start June 1. Hallelujah!
Trying too hard? I

Lately, I feel like I start to get blog ideas, but they slip through my fingers when I try to nail them down.
Actually, that’s sort-of how I feel in a lot of my life–like I’m trying too hard. When I’m dissatisfied, though, that’s what I do–try harder. And right now I’m dissatisfied about [...]
Easter Musings

Holy Week is a hard week for me. Usually, it’s not hard for me to “get into” a story (as a child, I often struggled more to “get out”!). But Holy Week is hard because I know how it ends.
Good Friday? Well, yes, that’s the day we remember that Jesus died. [...]
Headaches and heartaches

I’m writing this with what is threatening to become a migraine. When I have a headache, thoughts don’t come well. I don’t really care about what I’m doing or, at least, I don’t care about it nearly as much as I care about making the pain go away. I see a problem and walk to [...]
