dreams of genevieve: writing update & love list

http://jennilsimmons.blogspot.com/2015/04/writing-update-love-list.html

Writing update and love list. Photograph by James Charlick. I've been wanting to revive my blog for a long time, but I don't have time for a full-on narrative today. Let's start with a writing update and a love list, shall we? I have a new essay in Proximity Magazine. 8212; " A Strange and Common Meal. I reflected on the Communion Table and how it inspires other tables and forms of togetherness in our lives. Many thanks to the editor, Towles Kintz. And to the other writers in the "At the Table" issue.

dreams of genevieve: window light

http://jennilsimmons.blogspot.com/2014/01/window-light.html

I'm not the world's best sleeper, so I often pray for the Lord to give me, His beloved, sleep ( Psalm 127. And for help to lie down in peace and sleep, for the Lord alone makes me dwell in safety ( Psalm 4. I should also confess that most mornings I'm grumpy, hoping that no conversation will be necessary. I may have peace in my soul and a faithful expectation for the day, but pre-coffee I can't quite verbalize such. I remembered some beautiful words that my friend Marc Omar shared on Facebook:. O LORD an...

Photograph by Dave Allen. I have a new essay on The Curator. 8212; " Editing Suburbia. I recently read a tweet by Ethan McCarthy which said, "Good writers thank their editors.". In the hopes of being a good writer, I'm truly grateful for my editors for this essay: Curator. Editor-in-Chief Adam Joyce and Assistant Editor Laura Lynn Brown. When I first turned in my essay, they both encouraged me to dig deeper in my thoughts about faithful omission and what exactly I wanted to say. And She Has Hope. Editing...

dreams of genevieve: days like these

http://jennilsimmons.blogspot.com/2014/12/days-like-these.html

My husband and mother-in-law left early this morning to help green our church for Advent and Christmas. I'm getting over a stubborn head cold, so I slept in until I could will myself out of a NyQuil stupor. I enjoyed the peaceful quiet, momentarily interspersed with the exuberant voices of boys playing football in our neighbors' yard across the street. (Later the game moved out into the street. One shorter kid repeatedly protested, "Really? I'm wide open here! We're going to Torchy's Tacos. Their third g...

books for calvin: :: kaboom books ::

http://booksforcalvin.blogspot.com/2008/08/kaboom-books.html

We visited Kaboom Books yesterday, a small bookstore within walking distance of our Church. I've been dying to visit ever since I spied bookshelf upon bookshelf in a charming storefront we pass every Sunday while driving home. There's a space a few doors down that seems to be transitioning to a café or coffee shop. Oh, please, God! Will improve soon, but for now you can see a glimpse of just how many books are in that place. The Best American Spiritual Writing 2006. Edited by Philip Zaleski. Back at home...

dreams of genevieve: a toast to my parents

http://jennilsimmons.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-toast-to-my-parents.html

A toast to my parents. Photograph by YiMay Yang. My brother and I threw a retirement party for my parents at their house this past weekend, and it was a blast to celebrate with family and friends. We enjoyed Tex-Mex food catered from Abuelo's. Watermelon and cucumber water, peach Bellinis, French macarons, homemade carrot cake and key lime pie, and cookies from Savannah Bakery. A Toast to Coach Strother and Queen Kitty Ann. What a beautiful tribute! Their best work is you and Jody! I love your parents!

dreams of genevieve: on reading in 2013 and 2014

http://jennilsimmons.blogspot.com/2014/01/on-reading-in-2013-and-2014.html

On reading in 2013 and 2014. Yesterday I cleared away our breakfast dishes, tossed clean laundry in the dryer, Swiffered the bathroom floor, then plopped down in the armchair to peruse Facebook for a few minutes. Perhaps I should have done my editorial work first, but my Facebook meanderings led to feasts of knowledge about good books. My friend Anna Tesch mentioned Eugene Peterson's newest collection of poetry, Holy Luck. Anxious: Choosing Faith in a World of Worry. And " Reading List for 2014. By Justi...

Every Square Inch: The Drinking Hymn

http://johnnydrums.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-drinking-hymn.html

Just a Drummer, Coram Deo. By Church of the Holy Trinity. I wrote a drinking hymn. It's very common for the men to sit around a table and enjoy libations and a good cigar or pipe together. At those times it's very common for someone to raise a glass and say, "To the King! Prepared for it to have almost 10,000 views and to have been shared 70 times! It seems to have really resonated with a lot of people, and for that I'm really glad. I'd like to share some thoughts about why I think that is. The smoking a...
