Those Who Speak Honey Trust God…

These are outrageous times; prone to invoke rage. I recently had a friend post a picture of a news article on facebook. She was outraged by the article and was calling for a boycott. This is what the article said “Bibles Pulled from Barnes and Noble for the outdated idea that all humans are made

Misplaced Fear In A Pandemic World…

This morning whatever wheels that were keeping our quarantine homeschooling moving forward effectively fell off. And the cart crashed. And went up in flames. Smoke is still rising. Yesterday began week 4 of this new form of school and week 6 of isolation, so I suppose a collision was inevitable. And it seems far from

To The Drained Mom A Week Before Christmas…

There is a commercial that comes on all the time that sends a chill up my spine every time I see it. The scene is of a woman giving herself (in many forms) a pep-talk about how she can do it all. She can get everything done for Christmas because its up to her to

Prophet, Priest, King, Baby…

Twice I’ve had the honour of having little babies at Christmas time. Those were special days that I cherish in memory, as it gave me a sweeter understanding of Mary’s plight. I also remember savouring deeply each coo and smirk my soft little babies made as I contemplated the absurdity of a baby God. A

Putting Aside Bucket Lists For A Longer Vision Of The Coming Glory…

While scrolling through Facebook I came across a story that made me take pause both because of its tragedy and commentary on the culture at large. It read “Saskatoon Mom With Terminal Cancer Continues To Check Things Off Her Bucket List.” This woman is 30, healthy looking and beautiful with a daughter at her side.

When Pride Does So Much Good…

Everyone comes hard-wired with the ability to bear loads. Some have an endless ability to sustain under numerous amounts of people’s burdens. Other’s have a lower capacity in terms of this call. And yet we’re all called by God to bear each others burdens. Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the

Stand Directly In The Path Of His Majesty This Summer…

This post was originally written July 25, 2016. You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent. He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters; he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on the wings of the wind; he

Let Me Direct You Elsewhere…

Altar Of The Feels: I need this reminder as a parent, and maybe you do to. Feelings aren’t the most important thing. They were never meant to be. Don’t teach your children otherwise by trying to validate unreasonable feelings, and don’t let the way you feel rule the way you live your life. Feelings come

When Sin Gathers, So Must Love…

My daughter has a habit of collecting things. However most of her collecting fondness is directed towards rocks. Some colorful, some smooth, big and small. Even the extremely regular or somewhat unexceptional ones she’s drawn to for whatever reason. She’ll fill her coat pockets or pass them off to me for safe keeping in the endless depths of my purse.

Women And Jesus…

Last fall I had the privilege of speaking to one of the Women’s Ministries at my church about Jesus. More specifically I spoke about women and Jesus – a broad yet wonderfully heartening topic. I got to study and dissect a piece of Scripture I had read and heard a thousand times before and yet knew very little
