kitchen adventures: garlic shrimp linguine – laura lucille
https://lauralucille.wordpress.com/2013/08/15/kitchen-adventures-garlic-shrimp-linguine
One girl, practicing resurrection. The freshman year of life. Kitchen adventures: garlic shrimp linguine. Huge change is afoot this month. If my continually swirling thoughts, end-of-day fatigue, and growing list of “grown-up points” (and the fact that I even KEEP such a list) weren’t sufficient indication of this change, my daily impulse to bake or knit certainly is. Sometimes I just need to get out of my own mind and let the subconscious do its work. 1 pound uncooked linguine. 4 tbsp. butter. Add shrim...

What I [was] into in Autumn 2013 – laura lucille

One girl, practicing resurrection. What I [was] into in Autumn 2013. October came and went in a flurry of cardboard boxes and trips on I-66 as I moved from my parents’ condo to a little house of my own. And by “my own,” I mean rented with 2 roommates, but it still feels like a big step. Two months later, I’m curled up in our second-hand armchair, fire glowing and pine-scented candles lit, watching. With my roommates as the potato soup begins to simmer. But we are watching. Herb Pearce and Karen Brees).

One girl, practicing resurrection. I may not have been writing much this week, but I have been reading. A lot. In the midst of all my school reading, I’ve come across several worthwhile articles to share:. 8220;Exhaustion is not a status symbol,”. 8220;In Defense of the 4-Letter Word,”. The dictionary definition of. Is to treat something with abuse, irreverence, or contempt, and so I would argue that a word only really becomes. 8220;the old sadness,”. For all its beauty, for all its good, for all that.

One girl, practicing resurrection. I am from the the cream and burgundy house at the top of Misty Moon Place. The one with the creaking porch swing behind the pines. And the deceptively ominous dog’s bark;. The one with old kitchen utensils surrounding a fire pit lit by imagination,. With sidewalk chalk and bubbles and a volleyball left on the drive,. And the sign that reads: WARNING: You are about to enter a Learning Zone! I am from the Japanese maple flaming vermillion every fall,. I am from razors thr...

One girl, practicing resurrection. The people who walked in darkness. Have seen a great light;. Those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,. On them has light shined. 8211; Isaiah 9:2. One flame cuts the darkness on the first night of Advent. When we were young, our mother read Advent meditations to us by the light of just one candle. No kitchen light. No Christmas tree glow. Not yet. Still: even on us has light shined and we have seen His glory. For he grew up before him like a young plant. I think we g...

https://lauralucille.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/settling-in
One girl, practicing resurrection. The freshman year of life. I’m sinking into Week Four of my new job. Finally, things are starting to look familiar. I am learning the rhythm of my daily commute, sometimes as swift as forty-five minutes and as slow as ninety. I understand now why some might describe the DC commuting life as “soul-crushing.” Luckily I have NPR and good music and blessed time to. Before I start the day. This life is something God gently eased into my heart and my hands:. Four months ago a...

Phase 3: Juxtaposition and Joy | Who are the Brittons
https://whoarethebrittons.wordpress.com/2014/03/04/phase-3-juxtaposition-and-joy
Who are the Brittons. 8230; the ongoing explanation of our ordinary adventures. Really, Who Are the Brittons? Phase 3: Juxtaposition and Joy. March 4, 2014. Well, well,. There is a time for everything. And we know not the time. This is both unnerving and comforting, depending on how you look at it. From where I sit today, it’s both at once–just one of the many paradoxes and funny juxtapositions I’m learning to live with and faintly smile at. The ironic beauty/day-late timing is not lost on us in the least.

How Your Heart Should Break When You Unexpectedly Lose a Loved One →. April 19, 2014. The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it. 8211; Flannery O’Connor. Just over a month ago, I attended the Faith and Culture Writers Conference. In a breakout session called, How To Speak Up: public writing as personal and spiritual formation, Emily Maynard. Encouraged us to start with the topics that scare us most. A tiny flash grenade went off in my subconscious. People are brought blindfolded in...

simple felicity: August 2013
http://afundamentalshift.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 15): The Saturday Edition. Yes, in the interest of full disclosure: this is the Saturday edition of #7QT. I meant. To write this on Friday. I really. Did I have tabs open in my browser that I have kept open almost all week. Because I wanted to write something about them on Friday for my 7QT post. And when I woke up at 12:30am on Saturday and realized that I'd fallen asleep somewhere between 9:00-9:30pm on Friday, my first thought was: "oh no, I missed. Past PG-13 so please.

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 18): ball pits, coffee, and gender equality. Wow What a crazy lot of great conversation has happened over the past week ever since Rachel Held Evans. Made a simple observation on Twitter about the imbalance between the number of male and female speakers at a recent online leadership conference called the Nines. (You can see the speaker line-up here. So here we go. To look like - at the same time, there are. Places in the church where it does. What needs to change. There are...
