Wednesday’s Tumbleweed – 02/06/13
Last week I started a weekly post that I hope to be able to do most weeks. It’s a link party, really. It’s link to articles, pictures, or videos that have caught my eye during the past week. It’s my way of spreading ideas and beauty that I have found. Some of the things I’ve […]
Wednesday’s Tumbleweed
I often get asked where I get all the things I read. Or asked when do I read. I should confess that my house isn’t as organized as it should be and I’ve been known to let the dishes sit in the sink or have to rewash a load of clothes because I got to […]
Trashing Labels; Planting Trees
Confession: I want to throw rocks. I want to shout louder. I want to be heard. My husband says I have a knack for cutting through all the “fluff” and getting to the heart of something. And I want to do that now. With urgency. With force. Underlying that sense of urgency are many good […]
Digging Deep; Planting Trees
For the last several months there has been a lot of talk about men and women in the church. Mostly on the Internet, but there have been sermons preached and books released all seeming to have the answers.

Liturgical Wanderings: A Hymn to Bring You Home
One benefit of attending a church with a highly liturgical tradition is that it is much easier to attend another church cut from the same cloth. Or at least that is the way it seemed to me attending an Episcopal church in Springfield, MO a few Sundays back. I couldn’t believe that I was going […]
In which I contemplate (poorly) the church …
Disclaimer: this seems like such an awful piece. I’ve been writing and rewriting all day and not sure where it is going or that it’s all been worked out cleanly yet in my head but I’ve got to put it down as flawed as it is so I can put it back together as I […]
Liturgical Wanderings: Missing Christ
I’m sitting in a recliner, ice pack on my back, blanket on my legs. Scott has taken ‘lil girl to church with our dear friends. I am thankful that I can stay back and listen to the radio (Roxanne by Police for background noise) for typing this hurts muscles in my upper arms that I […]
In which that hurts …
Dominion is not found in grace … O, beware of touchiness, of testiness, of an unwillingness to be corrected. Beware of being provoked to anger at the least criticism, and avoiding those who not accept your word. John Wesley in Christian Perfection I can’t quite get over this sentence. Dominion is not found in […]
