I met an aspiring author at a writer workshop that wanted to write a book about a secular woman that accidentally embodied Christian ideals. That woman, for me, is Sugar. Do you know Sugar? Well you should. Sugar is a brilliant woman who writes what I would label a Secular Spiritual Advice Column at TheRumpus.net.… Continue reading BEST Advice Column EVER

Guest Post – The Simple Life
I have become a regular over at The Barn Door. Stop by sometime and hang out with us Midwestern ladies. We’re a charming, earthy bunch (if I don’t say so myself). I did a post about camping. We just got back from camping over the fourth and it was an amazing, culturally diverse experience. We do… Continue reading Guest Post – The Simple Life
Two Great Christian Writer Blogs
The blog made a sucking sound in June. What have I done instead? Gone to the land of the mouse. Gone camping. Gone researching. I was particularly moved by this post by Laura Ziesel about “real Christians.” It resides on Rachel Held Evans blog, another of my favorites. I had been aware of this issue… Continue reading Two Great Christian Writer Blogs

Oooops! Not Done.
With the book club book. I thought I’d be finished and posting about it today. But my life has gotten away from me. I, like Jamie, have about 40 pages to go and I won’t lie to you and comment before it’s over. 🙂 I am shooting for week’s end at worst. Hopefully sooner.
My Best Friend is Getting Married!
My best friend will be married this Saturday to her perfect man. They found each other at last, and I am so happy for them. My father is happy for them too and considered sending a sympathy card. Barb (wife) would not permit it. Here is a sampling of his most uttered marriage jokes. “I’ll… Continue reading My Best Friend is Getting Married!
Why go to Church?
My husband hates Sundays because he thinks of work all that day. It ruins one of his two days off. He loves Holiday weekends, like this last one, because that extra day jars him out of his typical schedule and this allows him to be “big picture.” Thinking of things from a high-up perspective rejuvenates… Continue reading Why go to Church?
