I’ve been processing life the way photographers process images. Only not as artfully nor as expediently. So much life these last days and weeks. There was the weekend marching band competition that I chaperoned in Virginia Beach where I started reading Rumors of Water. Sadly, that was the last time I’ve seen the book and [...]
I’m buying Rumors of Water, the latest book by L. L. Barkat. Today. Why? Two Three Reasons. In non-technical terms, there’s some weird book-buying algorithm thingee that promotes books to the top of best seller lists if they sell a bunch of books on launch day. Today is that day. Because L. L. is a friend, I’d [...]
You know what it’s like when you’ve been working on a project for what seems like a really long time and then you just have to wait for the launch day? Well, I’m happy to report that today’s a day for Enchantment! Last month, I had the privilege of interviewing Guy Kawasaki for a post [...]
We were supposed to be on the lookout for a special Christmas present from The High Calling, according to Laura. She was so excited and at some point, even disclosed that it would come from France. I’m not sure which team member received the gift first, but I remember reading Deidra’s post, seeing the photos [...]
My third word for 2011 is bread. As in, Bread of Life. The first two words appeared weeks ago. Breathe and Simplify. But I didn’t firmly grasp the third word until the latter part of January. During my Quiet Times studying John, God kept showing me “bread.” Each time I read or wrote about bread, [...]
This morning as I finally settled down to have my quiet time and journal, I began writing to God about how frazzled and unsettled I was. “I’m feeling anxious about so many things to do and finding my rhythm.” Then the Holy Spirit reminded me of Paul’s words to the Philippians. “Be anxious for nothing, [...]
I’m typing this post aboard flight 2437 to San Antonio, though I won’t hit publish until late morning when I arrive. I’m heading to the land of sunny skies and no rain. Between now and Sunday, I’ll be spending my days and nights at Laity Lodge in Kerrville, Texas. I’ve never been to Laity Lodge [...]
“Silver one!” she yelled, punching me in the arm from the passenger seat. Michaela, my ten-year-old stepdaughter, had spotted a silver Volkswagen bug parked on the side of the road. “Aw, that’s not fair!” I joked. We were nearing Randolph College, home of at least two VWs. Who would see them first? I tried to [...]
I continue to be amazed at all that God is doing in my life through High Calling Blogs (HCB). I’m “meeting” some great writers, loving my work there, and am receiving some encouragement for my writing. Today Bradley Moore, who writes at Shrinking the Camel, wrote “Any Road Will Take You There” and featured my [...]
Today on High Calling Blogs, David Rupert (along with the help of Monica Sharman) provided a list of interesting posts by fellow High Calling Blogs network members. I was pleasantly surprised to be included for my Five Signals post. Here’s David’s post, complete with plenty of links for your perusing. Happy Thursday!
