For a few years now I have wanted a new bible. Specifically, I wanted a journaling bible and a bible not in KJV, NIV, or The Message translations because I have those. (Also, hello Bible Gateway.) I began by looking for a journaling bible in the NRSV translation because that is translation that our readings come from on Sunday. But as it is a newer translation there are less options in style and ... View Post
Some things never change… A Conversation
"Did you ever think I would go to prom in a skirt?" The kid is standing over me, dressed in black dockers, a green, almost pin-striped, button down shirt, with a suit vest over it, opened (of course) and a tan felt hat, (maybe a fedora?) pushed up and cocked to one side over his floppy pewter colored hair.

Dozens upon dozens upon dozens. I don't know ... View Post

Hello friends! Did you think I fell off the face of the earth? Well, I guess I did a bit - work, and writing projects, and kid raising and getting a senior into college have pretty much eaten up the last month or so - but I wanted to pop back in and fill you in on a project that I shared about on The Open Door Sisterhood Podcast this week. You may not know this, but part of my job is ... View Post
