  • 13.1

    Recently, as I rounded the corner on the last mile of my run, I set my face like flint toward the finish and breathed out a prayer for endurance. I also picked up my pace. I was starting my tenth mile, and though tired and ready to be done, no…

  • Obliterating Dichotomies

    It’s very common to hear Christians talk about things being “practical” or “spiritual.” Taking care of practical details such as paying for something, is often not thought to be related to the things of the Spirit. I think we must obliterate these false dichotomies and gain understanding that every aspect…

  • Closing the Gap

    In many ways there are still places in my life where there are disconnects. What I say I believe about God can look very different from what it looks like I believe about Him. For example, it’s easy to say that I believe the Lord is All-Sufficient, and then I turn…

  • Why I Love Historical Fiction

    I’m a bookworm at heart. There are few things in life that are more enjoyable to me than a really good book. I’m also terribly picky when it comes to the literature I consume. I want high quality, pure, worthwhile reading material. I love to read, but I don’t want…

  • 2013 Dirty Dozen/Clean Fifteen Produce List

    If you are like me, you cannot afford to eat all organic foods.  Unfortunately, due to the high prices and the amount of fresh produce we eat, my food budget would run out far sooner than our need for food would!  That’s why I am so thankful for the work…
