Letters from Home: May 2013
http://bethanyslettersfromhome.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
A Letter for You. Friday, May 31, 2013. Italy: Sunsets in Venice. As I was growing up, my family only travelled for two reasons: to see family or to meet Jesus. We made yearly trips to relatives in Indiana and Mississippi, as well as numerous pilgrimages to religious conferences and mission trips, usually as part of my parents' ministerial work with college students. I loved (and still do love) such journeys, not least because they have a clear purpose, and I like Purposes. Maps are curious documents: in...

Letters from Home: After two years
http://bethanyslettersfromhome.blogspot.com/2014/05/after-two-years.html
A Letter for You. Friday, May 2, 2014. After two years, you have not forgotten their names. You remember where they sit in church, the classes the teach, the house where they live. You remember bluebonnets and firewheels, Texas roads, and where to find peppers at the grocery store. May 3, 2014 at 11:51 AM. Ah, but remembering is a pleasure, and it usually depends on forgetting.

Letters from Home: December 2013
http://bethanyslettersfromhome.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
A Letter for You. Monday, December 23, 2013. A night was near, a day was near; Between a day and night I heard sweet voices calling clear, Calling me: I heard a whirr of wing on wing, But could not see the sight; I long to see my birds that sing,— I long to see. Below the stars, beyond the moon, Between the night and day, I heard a rising falling tune Calling me: I long to see the pipes and strings Whereon such minstrels play; I long to see each face that sings,— I long to see. Below the stars, beyond th...

Letters from Home: August 2014
http://bethanyslettersfromhome.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
A Letter for You. Sunday, August 17, 2014. A letter to my future husband (for real this time). Two years ago, I published my first-ever "Letter to My Future Husband" (read it here. Even though I wasn't sure he existed. Today I offer the second letter. Of our intwining days. Even so, in. The moment itself, I was stunned. I think you were, too. When I bought my house, I set aside one room as a place for God to work. I called it "Spare Oom" after. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. True Love Doesn't Wait.

Letters from Home: Learning to abound
http://bethanyslettersfromhome.blogspot.com/2013/11/learning-to-abound.html
A Letter for You. Wednesday, November 27, 2013. I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.". Indeed, I would have described our life as rich, full, sustaining, and comfortable. What is the secret to abounding? Show me, O Lord, and show me, O Church, a better way. Only Christ can k...

Letters from Home: If you are weary
http://bethanyslettersfromhome.blogspot.com/2013/12/if-you-are-weary.html
A Letter for You. Tuesday, December 10, 2013. If you are weary. We asked my friends, her parents, and they nodded: twenty minutes until supper, and the sun slipping down toward a hundred bays and bayous. Out the door, across the road, under a quarter moon. "There's Venus," she said, pointing above the pines. My little hound leaped toward the bright planet, straining at the leash. It is good to sit on the grass and look upon the moon," she said. "It's good," I said. If you are weary, go run with a six-yea...

Letters from Home: July 2013
http://bethanyslettersfromhome.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
A Letter for You. Saturday, July 27, 2013. Italy: Santa Margherita de' Cerchi. By the time we found this tiny church, we had already seen many of Florence's grandest sights: Michaelangel's David; the masterpieces of the Uffizi Gallery; the soaring Duomo; and beautiful Santa Croce, housing the graves of Galileo, Michelangelo, Machiavelli, and Dante. Like so many things in Italy, these glorious works towered over us physically and historically, demanding our attention, even reverence. But maybe, maybe I ca...
