All week I’ve had a tab open to the new (in)courage blog. I love the idea of this new community—a group of women bloggers who write to encourage other women in their relationship with God. The description from the front page gives me a yummy sisterchick-feeling inside: it’s like a “beach house–you can put your [...]
I love my church. And I wish you could come with me. Well, now you can. Kinda. Beginning August 16 we’re starting an online campus. Cool, right? Hey, it’s worth a look, isn’t it?

I’ve never been one to make [...]
Last December, I bought Lydia an Advent book. It had a little lift-the-flap and then a verse and activity for each day. I thought it was going to be a fun thing for us to do—and it was. Except the book was kind of lame. I made the best out of it and was pretty [...]
I told you I wanted to do a healing post soon. As I started thinking about it and as my dh and I discussed what it is we “believe” about healing, I started realizing, it’s not just about that one aspect of my faith. To say what I believe about something like healing starts with [...]
