Revel in Humanity
Jesus became human. Think about that for a minute. Jesus, eternal creator and sustainer of all things. Eternally begotten, all power, all glory, all love from the Father, became a human. Now, I’m Reformed in soteriology. And I fully believe man is Totally Depraved. I believe that the fall was an actual event in history…
The Simple Woman’s Daybook for December 28, 2015
For Today… the final Monday of 2015 Outside my window…. it is grey and dreary. rainy, blah. I am thinking… about how much fun my kids and I have had playing games today. I almost won at air hockey, but N-boy came back to steal victory. I am thankful… that we don’t have anywhere to…
Wednesdays with Words: Evermore and evermore!
I love Christmas carols. I love esoteric, uncommon Christmas Carols. A year ago for WwW, I shared ‘Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming.’ The third verse. I’m glad I checked, because it’s the one I almost shared again. Earlier in this Yuletide Season, I shared my favorite hymn which happens to be an Advent hymn:…

2016 Word of the Year
In 2015, I chose *revel* as my word of the year. I chose the word on a whim, designed a graphic, and wrote the post. It’s been a fantastic year. I’ve learned a lot about reveling – from Candace, Karen, Jennifer, and Mystie who wrote fantastic guest posts on the topic. I learned a lot…
Wednesdays With Words: Joy
Our pastor is preaching through Philippians and is in Philippians 2 where Paul is asking that they “Make his joy complete.” As he preached on Joy, he quoted Lewis from Surprised by Joy (which I haven’t read.) I loved the quote. M-girl loved the quote, so I share it with you today. Wishing you shards…
