The Joy of Interruption
A few weeks ago, while enjoying a relatively quiet house, thinking of article topics to wax eloquent on, I chanced upon the idea of “joyful interruptions.”
I started jotting down ideas, making notes on the topic, and researching Bible verses and quotes.
I had a full day ahead of me packed with writing assignments, chores, meal planning, ...
Teaching Your Child To Embrace The Ordinary
A few days ago, I asked my 10-year-old son what would make him infinitely happy. His response melted my heart. “A pencil. A pencil and a paper,” he said after a moment of thought.
My little guy loves losing himself in the world of art. He spends his evenings sketching minions and gnomes and Godzilla and ...
From the Inside Out: Changing Body Image To Fit Our True Identity
Every morning, I step on the weighing scale in my bathroom. Usually, I’m disappointed: the scale is supremely stubborn. It refuses to budge. On other days, I feel a sense of achievement: I’m 500 gms lighter and my self-confidence soars. I want to belt out some Mariah Cary, “And then a hero comes along, with ...

Day 1
Dwell On Matthew 26: 6-13
We start the Lent devotional with someone who truly got it. Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, actually understood. In fact, she understood more than the indignant disciples who tried to stop her from “wasting” the perfume on Jesus. She, perhaps, understood that Jesus wouldn’t be with them much longer.
Her ...
The One Thing That Could Be Hurting Your Marriage The Most (It’s Not What You Think)
Did you know that 80 percent of the time women bring up issues in heterosexual relationships? That’s according to Dr. John Gottman who studied hundreds of couples from the 1970s onward.
I’m not surprised. In our 12 years of marriage, I’ve been the one to dredge up most of our trouble spots.

Startling Obedience, Simple Joy
It’s not often that an auditor with an MBA from the U.S. changes career paths to become a Montessori teacher.
It’s even less likely that they would start a preschool in India with the sole purpose of reaching out to underprivileged children.
But, then again, Saraswathi Padmanabhan, is not one of those you meet often. Her unique passion ...

The Two Words That Steal Our Joy (And the Two Words That Can Restore It)
The kids were with the grandparents for the night. Which meant we had the perfect opportunity to catch a movie in an actual theater, eat out without cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces and spend the evening without repeatedly giving instructions to one’s progeny about baths and brushing.
Except, the evening didn’t pan out quite like ...
