The Pinterest Perplexity
It can’t just be me. Please say it isn’t just me. I love Pinterest! I see the those little rectangles filled with beautifully staged food, artfully arranged mantles, adorably posed children, and I think… How hard could it be? Well, I have some homemade hand soap that feels like snot, a goofy looking Valentine’s Day… [ read more ]

The Romans Project
Last week, I shared the Eat this Book program with you . After a full week, I have to say this is the easiest “read the Bible in a year” program I’ve ever tried. (And yes, I’ve tried to do this before. Pretty sure I’ve never made it past February). Our pastor recommended that we make an effort to read at the same time… [ read more ]

Now that I’m well on the road to recovery from my ridiculous thumb injury, it’s time to start talking about my One Word for 2013 – Margin. One of the things I love about this word is that it has several different meanings. Which one do you think of first? I tend to think of… [ read more ]

Vanished by Irene Hannon
One of the things Irene Hannon does so well is to give us a peek into the world of different types of law enforcement. In her new “Private Justice” series, she’s taken us into the world of private investigators. As it turns out, they aren’t all 100 pounds overweight, kicked back behind a massive desk, and puffing on… [ read more ]

Living on the Edge of a Knife
Today’s post was going to be all about margin. It still is…sort of. When I chose my One Word for 2013 , Margin seemed like the obvious choice. ( You can read about how Margin applies to my writing life over at The Write Conversation ). I knew my life needed more margin. More space to be creative, more space to be spontaneous, more space to serve, more space to just be. I also knew… [ read more ]
