Wednesdays with Words: Fervent, Frequent, not Fancy
Last summer, our associate pastor preached through praying the Lord’s Prayer (Here’s the first: Our Father Who is in Heaven). It was revolutionary to my thinking. And my praying. Oh, my prayer life isn’t still what I’d like it to be (is anyone’s ever), but the ideas and actual praying is actually better. I decided…
Wednesdays with Words: Not Merely
A year ago, I ran into a quote from John Ruskin in Consider This by Karen Glass. I wrote it in my commonplace book. Today, when I started Awakening Wonder by Stephen Turley, I found the quote again and decided to share it with you. I love the alternating not merely. Education is not merely…
