I have had a few questions about what I have my four kids read, so I thought I would do a monthly update under "Friday Four." Their ages range from 5 to 10, two boys and two girls, and their interests in reading, and other personal interests, vary. I hope this feature will be helpful … Continue reading Friday Four: What My Kids Are Reading

On Being Made New (and Poetry Monday)
This business of becoming new. It is important if we are a people of His eternal purpose. Do not let the fears of change and work keep you from becoming new. If this drive for newness is from Him, then it is good and right.

What I’m Listening To
Yesterday I wrote a bit about light and how poetry is one way I'm filling my days with beauty and light.

Friday Four: Four Reasons Why We Should Read
Last Sunday, my daughters and I spent a lazy afternoon lounging in lawn chairs under the apple tree. It was one of those drowsy days where the sun’s warmth and the drone of bees spread like honey, where the black-eyed susans were nodding gently in the lethargic breeze, and conversation was slow and quiet. We … Continue reading Friday Four: Four Reasons Why We Should Read
