I’m so glad this is Leap Year so I had an extra day to think about what I’ve learned about Attend! this month. Certainly the way we most often use Attend! is in the sense of paying attention. Where we notice, perceive, behold, and otherwise take in information through the use of our senses, particularly our…
One of the assignments from the Read Aloud Revival‘s Master Class Focus and Align (available through membership) was to determine your overarching “this is what we do daily” Rule of Six. I’m still mulling, but here’s a first stab. It is based on my Words of the Year from 2015 and 2016 bookending the “Four Ws”…
For Today… Outside my window…. the sun is shining and the temperature is increasing – slightly anyway. I am thinking… about the woman who fears the Lord and seeking and searching the things above. Excellent sermons yesterday. I am thankful… for the faithful exposition of the Word at my church. I am wearing… grey sweatpants…
Doubtless, it will come as no surprise that I like words. I like clever words. I like words used in creative ways, in clever combinations. I like words used in old ways. I love finding definitions in the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary. The first definition in the 1828 for the word attend is “To go with, or…
For each of the last two Christmases, my parents gave a 1000-piece puzzle to the family members of my generation. There are 10 of us: 5 siblings and our spouses. While we tend to the competetive (in only the very best way), we can also cooperate at a challenging task. We accomplished the puzzles in…

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…
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…
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:…
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…
