Tuning This Life: December 2008
http://tuningthislife.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 26, 2008. So here it is: the day after Christmas. A house destroyed. A car packed with gifts in the driveway. An exhausted child. Today, I want to tear down Christmas decorations; I have this intense desire to purge. Too much stuff! We don't eat random bits; we eat meals. 2 Intentional donations: Rather than bagging up loads of clothes and unwanted items and dumping them off at a random collection site, I want to donate intentionally. Anyone need a casserole dish? 5 Put it back on the sh...

Tuning This Life: April 2010
http://tuningthislife.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 17, 2010. To jessramsey.wordpress.com. Sorry Blogger. Just wanted some nifty features. Nothing personal. Sunday, April 11, 2010. Last week seemed to be filled with moments of humility:. I fell in the cafeteria. I'm a high school teacher- so.I fell in front of a bunch of high schoolers. It involved taco salad, me on the floor, and the potentiality of You Tube videos. And so, I paid my $40 tab.and left. The fall was worse this time. How had I missed it? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). By day, I...

Tuning This Life: February 2010
http://tuningthislife.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 21, 2010. Today, the question came: What one part of your soul do you most wish to see returned to God? The part you most want to see as it was meant to be? Discipline. A follow-through-ness. An ability to push through pain/discomfort to reach a goal. Discipline. And so, I reach for "the rock that is higher than I.". Morning: Psalms 50, 61, 3. Romans 7:14-26 (I tacked on 15-26). Isaiah 58 (so good). Evening: Psalms 15, 92, 69. Tuesday, February 9, 2010. The most obvious being that the re...

Tuning This Life: February 2009
http://tuningthislife.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 4, 2009. For instance, today's a snow day. I can finally catch up on laundry, possibly wash the kitchen floor, and vacuum the house. But I feel as if I should organize Luke's play for the day, stay by his side and pretend to be a mom who doesn't work. Yet, I don't know what that looks like. This is a new sort of pressure I'm feeling. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The concept of working mom has been overdone. Di. Life is rich and full! View my complete profile. New Blog Is LIVE!

Tuning This Life: Faith
http://tuningthislife.blogspot.com/2010/03/faith.html
Wednesday, March 10, 2010. Lately, I've worried too much about transmissions and hives. I scrambled from one partially completed project to another. I entered conversations dazed and left them trying to remember what was said. And I forgot what I read this morning: God keeps my way secure. How do I trust his security and stop trying to create my own? And so.I have abandoned. The Book of Common Prayer. For now. Instead, I'm trying to read through topics. This is my rewrite of the pattern. Faith, part 2.

Tuning This Life: Mediocre

Wednesday, March 17, 2010. God knew what He was getting Himself into with me. And he loved me before I was aware of how off the mark I was.am.will be. Because He was.is.and will be.

Saturday, March 20, 2010. Faith, part 2. When I read my Bible, I really just want to find validation. Not truth. I don't. Want to be wrong. Or misguided. Some part of me. Wednesday, March 17, 2010.

Tuning This Life: Save and Deliver
http://tuningthislife.blogspot.com/2010/03/save-and-deliver.html
Tuesday, March 16, 2010. I've never before picked up on the moment in Matthew's account of Jesus clearing the temple where the children began to sing for Him. And Jesus acknowledges their praise. Though His response is simple, there's something profound about the interaction- He's not surprised. Caught up in the moment- the exciting, dramatic, miracle-marked moment- the children did what they were created to do. Without hesitation. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Faith, part 2.

Wednesday, March 18, 2009. St Patrick's Day 2009. Last night we took Luke to Main St. in Rock Hill for the St. Patrick's Day celebration. We need to do more stuff like this; just the other day I saw a couple who surfs on TV who were visiting South Korea (to surf) with their six month old baby. Envy isn't even the word- walking across swinging bridges next to mountains and temples and scenery so green it almost looks like a backdrop? A great St. Patrick's Day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
