Birthday Girl

Today is my 36th birthday. My husband has spoiled me all day. Well, he always spoils me, but today he got me paints and tempera paint sticks and gelatos. Also, he got me a lovely art book. He made me stuffed shells (his stuffed shells are my favorite food) and got me a cake. I … Continue reading Birthday Girl

Seminary Reading

I discovered a website where the seminary program in Media and Worship Arts that I've longed to go to for years lists their syllabi. I am going from class to class, finding the required reading, and adding it to my Amazon. So much fascinating material on the intersection of Christianity and creativity! Reading these books … Continue reading Seminary Reading

Submission Brings Blessings

Submitting to your husband isn't always easy, but living the way God designed brings blessings. Although my husband and I have a lot in common, we still do not agree on everything. There have been calls he made that I did not think were best. But in these situations, blessings have always come from following … Continue reading Submission Brings Blessings

The service was … Continue reading New Church

I take them off to eat because I don't want to accidentally drop anything on one, and sometimes I take them off when I'm with my dogs so that they … Continue reading Benefits of Headcovering

Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen

For the first time, I really realize how important the parable of the wedding banquet is. A man who does not have wedding clothes is spotted at a wedding celebration (and he had already declined to attend),and cast outside where there is gnashing of teeth. Then Jesus says "Many are invited, few are chosen." If … Continue reading Many Are Invited, Few Are Chosen

Be Sexually Available to Your Spouse

Somehow, it has become controversial even among some "Christian" women to say that when your husband wants to have sex with you, you should say yes. Scripture says, "Do not deny yourselves to each other, unless you first agree to do so for a while in order to spend your time in prayer; but then … Continue reading Be Sexually Available to Your Spouse

I Have an Idea

Maybe this has been done already, but pages of Googling have not turned up anything quite like what I'm thinking of. What if there was some sort of monastic group for Christian writers and artists? I mean an order you can join without leaving family responsibilities, like the Order of Saint Patrick. But this would … Continue reading I Have an Idea
