Blogs I Read: Girls Gone Wise
November 11, 2009" One of my favorite blogs is written by Mary Kassian, who is a professor of Women’s Studies at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. She is about to publish a new book, Girls Gone Wise… In a World Gone Wild, which she says “revolves around the story of the typical Girl-Gone-Wild as recorded for us in the [...]"
Journaling: A Discipline and an Art
June 26, 2009" I read two posts on journaling this morning: Journaling: A Holy Experience and Journaling as a Spiritual Discipline: Many Creative Ways. Both posts reminded me of a habit I’ve somewhat neglected, and the second one especially showed me some of the many creative possibilities that come with journaling. Only in recent months, I would say, have I [...]"
An Unwasted Life

So I want to write again.
February 03, 2009"It’s been way too long. And deny it as I might, the itch for writing in my fingertips cannot be denied. (That reminds me of a book, Emily Climbs by L.M.

Reading Is a Discipline
November 26, 2008" When I was a little girl, reading was my favorite pastime. I often read several books a week, in between schoolwork and church and playing with my sisters. Once my mom struck dismay in my heart by making a rule that we could only read one book a day. I didn’t always finish a book [...]"
Changes Ahead
October 17, 2008" “…When a person speaks or writes or sings or paints about breathtaking truth in a boring way, it is probably a sin.” -John Piper (HT: Beauty from the Heart) Inconsistent as I have been lately, I still believe that writing (and for this time, blogging) is a calling God has placed on my life. I want [...]"
Writing? What’s that?
October 12, 2008"Greetings, dear readers… your oft-absent blogging friend still lives. I’ve been lazy with it lately. So different than when I was in college, cranking out papers and assignments left and right, procrastinating by reading blogs, and feeling the itch to write for any reason other than schoolwork. Oh, and I had all those spare minutes [...]"

August 03, 2008"While I’m on blog hiatus, I’m re-posting some entries from my archives. Lord willing, I’ll be back to writing new content in a few weeks – see you then!
