Beck's Three: Speechless (Originally published December 2009)
http://becksthree.blogspot.com/2013/12/speechless-originally-published.html
Monday, December 9, 2013. Speechless (Originally published December 2009). I enjoy the gaiety of the Christmas season as much as the next person, but I have to admit I'm finding it harder and harder to keep a reflective spirit this time of year. Radio stations, in an effort to spread "holiday cheer," play so-called Christmas music round-the-clock. But, how many of these songs have anything to do with the birth of our Savior?

Beck's Three: On dishwashers, snake-sniffing, and superfluous language
http://becksthree.blogspot.com/2013/11/on-dishwashers-snake-sniffing-and.html
Wednesday, November 20, 2013. On dishwashers, snake-sniffing, and superfluous language. Some snippets that are unworthy of a post of their own but that need to be freed from the clutter of my mind:. I've been playing this game lately with a steak knife that someone. A few mornings ago I commented to David that this was why there were no clean spoons. I said, "I'm not accusing you, but someone put something in the dishwasher last night and didn't press start.". Does he find all these snakes. Snakes. Y...

Beck's Three: A Truth I can rest upon
http://becksthree.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-truth-worth-standing-on.html
Sunday, January 26, 2014. A Truth I can rest upon. It's no secret that I've been battling depression over the past year or so. A few months ago, I began to notice some slight progress in moving out of the darkness, but, like most journeys in life, it's been touch-and-go. Many days have felt like one step forward, two steps back. But still I sang. Today, God spoke to my heart in a way I have not experienced in a long. Wanna know what He said? Other times, you can barely crawl through the valley and whimpe...

Beck's Three: On Just Breathing (But also using the word "bowel" . . . sorry.)
http://becksthree.blogspot.com/2013/12/on-just-breathing-but-also-using-word.html
Tuesday, December 3, 2013. On Just Breathing (But also using the word "bowel" . . . sorry.). Sometimes I do Lamaze even though I’m not giving birth or even carrying a child. At least, it’s what I imagine Lamaze breathing to be, having never actually given birth sans epidural. And then there are times like now. I’ve just come out of a good season; during the entire month of October I suffered only a handful of attacks. But November and December have ushered it back with a vengeance. But focusing on the br...

Beck's Three: How God Saved My Life (A long story)
http://becksthree.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-god-saved-my-life-long-story.html
Saturday, September 20, 2008. How God Saved My Life (A long story). Um, no. He said, "It's actually quite loud. Are you sure no one's ever mentioned it." Of course, I'm very sure, so he does a chest x-ray. Here comes my next "Do not pass go" card. My heart was enlarged, so he sent me straight to the cardiologist at 5:30 that afternoon. Alarm bells going off in my head . . . he called on a Sunday? And he left his home number? Those are never good signs. At this point, I still wasn't even 100% sure what an...

Beck's Three: February 2013
http://becksthree.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Lenten Thoughts (first published in Feb. 2010). I am not Catholic. I am not even episcopal. In fact, I grew up about as far removed from that as one can get: charismatic non-denominational. Some would say Pentecostal, though I personally wouldn't use that moniker. So, what in the world am I doing observing Lent? Heck, I can't even decide whether it ought to be capitalized.) What is this hand-raising, church-dancing, tongues-praying girl doing giving up something for Lent?
