On That Note…. Variations on selected ponderings and wanderings. My Story – a thread in God’s tapestry. 2016 Here we go again! Since the year is ending and a new one is beginning, thoughts must be thought, actions evaluated and reflected upon, new goals set, and words written about all of it, at least in my case. From delegate to continental representative. From Fulbright to Spanish substitute teacher. From student leader to staff. From single to dating. From average birthday to Urbana birthday. 8220;Sel...

She Falls Up Stairs: This Week

http://shefallsupstairs.blogspot.com/2012/11/this-week.html

Friday, 23 November 2012. Feeling inspired after reading Emily Dickinson, I decided to be brave and try my hand at poetry. It's at once more liberating and more restrictive than prose; I have the freedom to say less and let my meaning remain ambiguous, yet these few words must be more carefully chosen. For your reading pleasure. Love, C. Christmas feels wrong this year. Too early still for M&S promotions and obnoxious 80s hits. To these indifferent crowds I am another obstacle. A possibility; life now.

A Selection of Varied Topics: FESTIVE!

http://selectionofvariedtopics.blogspot.com/2013/12/festive.html

Sunday, December 8, 2013. How may I help you panic? Allow me to assist you! The above was my response to my beloved roommate indicating that she needed help panicking over final exams/projects. I don't believe we reached a consensus as to whether that would be better accomplished by my calmly talking her through the alarm, or running screaming through the house with her. Also, festive is the word of the day…or week….word of the month, actually. I just love that word! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

On That Note…. Variations on selected ponderings and wanderings. Look On Up – the power of intentionality & observation.

#FaithFeminisms: Faith, Feminism, and the Battle for Supremacy

http://www.faithfeminisms.com/faithfeminisms-faith-feminism-and-the-battle-for-supremacy

A collection of voices reflecting on faith feminism. FaithFeminisms: Faith, Feminism, and the Battle for Supremacy. Jul 24, 2014. I’m not sure where I read it, or who first said it. I’m sure of a few of the details, one being that it was a man behind the sentiment. The exact wording escapes me, but I can recall the message: Feminism is an idol if you place it before your Christian walk. And tweets too much. Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

Heresy in the Heartland. Saturday, March 8, 2014. Life at IBLP Headquarters. Oak Brook, Illinois January-July 1999. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.".
