more on your second day.
Hi. It is 1:24 pm on Monday afternoon and I’m giving myself 6 minutes to write a post. I have loved hearing from y’all about your Second Day. Listen. I’m being bossy. But you need to know about your Second Day. It’s just that good. It didn’t start with me but I’m so glad I [...]
small joy: a sabbath
I did something I haven’t done in a good long while yesterday. I took an honest to goodness sabbath day. We worshipped with our church family and then I came home and stayed in this one spot for a good remainder of the day. I read books and magazines. I had hand drawn pictures delivered [...]
stashing rubies.
It’s a gray, warning afternoon. A storm promises to whip through and shake all the pods down from the mighty oaks, if nothing else. I want to remember how yesterday, in the quiet of a rare peaceful homework time, I heard the hum of water running. “Little One?” I called. “What are you doing?” He [...]
not exact answers but more
Hey, Mary-Beth? You and your french fry cravings won the print! Email me! I’ll get you set up with Jessi. I loved every single comment on that post. Y’all play along so well. Well. Here’s some truth. Lately I have been a bit of a Gideon, looking for God’s goodness in the exact answer to [...]

Today? There is a place prepared for you. A place of rest. That little Baby? Born on Christmas? He’s promised rest for your weary walk. Celebrate Him by offering your heart to be His Bethlehem.

marking advent.
Hi. Oh, I hope your weekend was lovely. We’ve finally got the tree up. Only lights right now but I’m slowly making my way to having some festiveness around our house. I’m going to be sharing some crafty type things with you this week. But. Before I do that, I’d like to speak to comparison [...]
small joy: this weekend
Look what I noticed outside my window this weekend. Fall is on its way. Makes me so happy. What about you? What small joy did you find this weekend?
small joy: family field trip
We took a little trip to the apple farm this weekend. I’ve got four of those very full bags of apples. Yes. That big thing belongs to me. He’s nine. His hair is mussed. He’s got on a baseball shirt. He won’t pose for photos. All is right in his world. When you’ve pulled two [...]
