P is for Praise
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his host! Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars! Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were…

Lawdy Lawdy!
Gawrsh it’s been a while…I got myself lost in the Lent-Easter vortex and am only now starting to pull myself out… didn’t help that I also became not a little bit attached to watching television on the web–I am officially caught up on more shows than I care to admit. But seriously, it has been…

Reality-Check
I often tell people that my work situation is ideal, that it is absolutely fantastic to be able to enjoy the benefits both of the city of Philly as well as the comforts and quiet of Belvidere. Folks readily assent to the perceived benefit of being to be able to have time in and away…

Discipleship and Haiti
When he finally arrives, blazing in beauty and all his angels with him, the Son of Man will take his place on his glorious throne. Then all the nations will be arranged before him and he will sort the people out, much as a shepherd sorts out sheep and goats, putting sheep to his right…

A blog about (not) blogging, and other experiences that take my breath away
I posted the following to presbymergent‘s website and it should, pending review, show up sometime over the course of the next week. I spent a little time working on it, so I didn’t quite have the time to write something for here this week, so I thought I would post it here as well. Enjoy!…

The Joy of Waiting
So often I hear the experience of waiting described as hell, as agony, as the most distressing aspect of getting to something. In the book I am reading right now, for example, the protagonist describes the moments before a cross country race as the worst part of his running experience, worse even than the pain…

I wish I May
So MAYYYY-be I haven’t been the most bloggerific or blogtastic of bloggers lately; I must admit that blogging hasn’t even really been on my radar screen lately. There has just been so much else to worry about–getting (or more realistically NOT) a job, finishing classes, trying to battle a pernicious tendency of mine to procrastinate…

Productive time in Philadelphia
It has been a remarkably productive/positive week for me out here on the Right Coast. This is surprising in some respects, particularly given that it is spring break in Harvardland, and I would have assumed the week would therefore have been more or less forgettable in the wonderfully relaxed sense that a break often is.…

Movin’ and Shakin’
Things have been seriously B-U-S-Y this semester, and since I don’t necessarily get graded, or a job, or a husband out of blogging, I have to be honest and admit that bloggin’ hasn’t been a priority for me. However, things have indeed improved, for a few reasons: 1) I did the math and I am…

Beside Still Waters
It is January and I am back in Cambridge, which means that my experience of snow has increased by, say, 20-fold over the span of the week. Snow lies piled on the streets and strewn on yards, in many places half a person high (as in the case of the snow by my home). My…
