You Don’t Have To Give In
For my daughter’s fourteenth birthday last year, she invited a few of her friends to an escape room. For the uninitiated, an escape room or mystery room is essentially an entertainment option where you pay good, hard-earned money to be trapped in a small space for an hour.
I’m kidding. While I’ve only gone to an ...
No, This Is Not You
If you know me, you know I’m deeply committed to two of life's essentials: coffee and chocolate. Bring me some good quality dark chocolate and a strong cup o’ joe (sans the swirls, syrups, and sprinkles please) and we can be buddies for life.
My home bears evidence of this proclivity (okay, fine, it may be ...
Do You Feel Like A Stranger Too?
There have been many times when I’ve felt like a stranger living in a foreign country.
Oops. Wait. That’s probably because I was, in fact, a stranger living in a foreign country.
I remember my very first trip outside of India about 25 years ago. I was headed for grad school in the US. I had never ...
Do Your New Year Goals Reflect This?
Scroll through social media in the first week of January and you’re likely to be treated to a charcuterie board of every kind of New Year goal and resolution.
Here’s a little peek of what’s on my Instagram feed:
Workout more. (If you're a woman over 40, they say you should chalk up 10K steps a day ...
Advent Devotional (Week 3): Amazing Love, How Can It Be?
As we start week three of Advent this Sunday, December 17th, we're going to dwell on the topic of love.
Honestly, of the four themes of hope, peace, joy, and love that we've dived into in our Advent devotional, I was most intimidated about writing about love! I know, weird, right? But God's love is infinite ...
Advent Devotional (Week 2): Abiding Peace, Abounding Joy
Thank you for downloading and reading Week 1 of the Advent Devotional.
This Sunday, December 10th, we begin Week 2 of the devotional.
This coming week (starting Sunday), we focus on two themes - peace and joy.
Which of us doesn't want more peace and overflowing joy?
If someone's selling it, sign me up!
But, of course, we all know ...
Advent Devotional 2023
It has been several years since I wrote my last Advent devotional. I remember writing that Bible plan as a challenge to myself. Could I keep the focus on Christ and manage to write 25 devotionals for Christmas? It was one of those God-sized goals—but it wasn't to show the world that I had "nailed" ...
Don’t Give Thanks For Everything
I don’t know about you, but I may need to get off social media for a few days. This time around my social media “fast” is not to help grow my spiritual life a bit more, but to grow my waistline a bit less.
My Instagram feed is dangerously tempting with pictures of turkeys and pumpkin ...
Hey, What Happened To Your Joy?
There was a little song we would belt out at Sunday School back in the 90’s. It went, “I’ve got joy that is down in my heart, Deep, deep down in my heart; J-O-Y that is down in my heart, Deep, deep, down in my heart.”
Our decrepit classroom would reverberate with the enthusiasm that only ...
