You Might Be A Hipster…

Okay so you might have noticed that I take pot-shots at hipster’s every now and then. I don’t do it because I hate hipsters. I love them; really I do. I have friends who are hipster’s (although they would probably never admit it) and I myself can have hipster tendencies. But I find the whole Christian

Suprising The Deserved…

Over the last month and a half I have been scheming a plan to surprise my husband. He is turning 30. The big 3-0. Every now and then he would look at me and say, “I’m going to be 30”  with puppy dog eyes that say, “please turn back time”. He is not the type to

Joyfully Complicated…

The other night my husband asked me one of my least favorite questions to answer. I don’t blame him for asking it. He takes seriously his role to be spiritual leader of the home. And I don’t know if there is even a better way of phrasing the question. But none-the-less I was required to put into

Camp Fire Cooking And BBQ Chicken…

This is the stifling hot time of year when having an oven on in the house is not an option. So the BBQ gets lots of use. I thought I would share a recipe my girlfriend made over our open fire while camping, as well as a BBQ chicken recipe I use often. My girlfriend is

Let Me Direct You Elsewhere…

This post is about 3 weeks in the making, because as you can tell I haven’t been so good at keeping this up. Life is sort of back to normal after some wonderful holiday’s so I should be able to get back at it. Here ya go! How Not To Comment On Blog And Facebook

What Makes A Woman?…

If you were to consult the culture they would probably tell you that you become a woman when you get your period, or when you have sex for the first time. Womanhood looks like taking to the streets with banners of self-esteem. Burning bra’s. Demanding respect. But I think we all know that those things don’t make anyone anything. Our experience’s

Careless Lives Cost Talk…

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17 Something to ponder by the great C.S Lewis: “If conversion to Christianity makes no improvement in a man’s outward actions – if he continues to be just a snobbish or spiteful

I’m Here…But My Mind Isn’t…

As a stay-at-home mom I am with my kids 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I am not however always present with my kids as often as I am with them. The other day Ben, Lucy and I were playing with cars in Ben’s room. But as we were playing this is what was running

Three Things I Love About Catholics…

Disclaimer: I realize the random nature of this post. But I don’t care. I like catholics. They are nice people. But when it comes to theological matters I am a devout protestant. Contrary to popular belief there is a large difference between the belief systems of Catholics and Christians in how we interpret scripture, but

God Protects Sinners…

“Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it” ~ Jonathon Edwards I am back from a lovely little holiday involving, dirt, tents, tree’s, good food, and even better company. I made roaring fires with my bare hands and it stoked the flame of my ego, as I gloried
