a little bit about me

…As if you needed to know more!
I saw this little questionnaire on Amanda’s blog today and thought it would be fun to do. I kinda have blog block.  There are a number of devotional posts simmering in the back of my head right now, and Halloween photos are not ready to happen yet, so I’ve [...]

good elves in Dallas

God knows what he is doing.  I have a good story from this weekend in my head, and until it gets committed to paper (or pixels) it will continue to percolate at the front of my mind.  God knows this about me and He knows that I needed to keep those highlights from the weekend [...]

what to say

Missy has asked for people to help her know what to say to an infertile couple.
This is hard.  I was one.  I was once one of those walking bundles of pain and anguish who wants to hold a child so badly that it colors everything.

jesus saves, over and over again

I can’t really tell you the scripture this comes from, but I am convinced that Jesus doesn’t just save sinners.
He saves me, every day, every moment.  Each time I turn to Him when I feel small, or petty, or discouraged, or angry.  He saves me from that and sends me in another direction.
Right now I’m [...]

Her favorite game is let me hold your hands and [...]

change the world

This weekend I get to go to Atlanta Fest.  A Christian Music festival held in a park near my hometown.
Go here if you want to know more.
There’s a great line-up of musicians and speakers.
But I’m not going for that.
It will be a great day out in the sun, praising Jesus through loud music.
While that is [...]

don’t cross the screams..I mean streams

I was getting bogged down (or is that blogged down?) in the search for a new blog name.
All kinds of creative things were percolating around in my busy brain.  I knew I liked the water/bridge motiff.  I really liked the stream idea, since they are such a great metafore for life.  Water, the Holy Spirit, [...]

no more scream?

I am torn about this.  I want to change the name of my blog, but I don’t want to lose people who know the screamofcontinuousness name.
On the other hand you would not believe how many people just don’t understand.  They see that name whenever I leave a comment and they make a snap judgment about [...]

how to be universally lovely

Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives when they see the
purity and reverence of your lives
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and [...]
