I don't know about you, dear reader, but I need a better prayer life. We often think of praying as something you do alone, down on your knees or lying in bed. But if you only pray when you're in one of those two positions, you will not pray enough. After all, life is busy. … Continue reading Prayer

Wonderful Weekend
My Mother's Day weekend has been a joy! Yesterday, my husband C took us all to a fun event in the city. Then we grabbed lunch and dessert at The Cheesecake Factory.

Tea, Digital Art, New Dish
Tomorrow, Mother's Day weekend begins. A is having a Mother's Day tea at her school tomorrow. I'm nervous. Today, I've been sick, and my mood has been changing. I'm very exhausted.

Sex is a Responsibility for a Married Woman
We all owe something to other people. We live in a community. And if you are married, you owe your husband sex. He's not some random person. He's your partner for life. The relationship between husband and wife is special. It's like nothing else on Earth because it reflects the relationship of Christ and the … Continue reading Sex is a Responsibility for a Married Woman

What I Like and Dislike About Therapy
Today, I saw a really arrogant post from a therapist telling other therapists that they can charge two hundred and fifty dollars an hour, and she was offering guides on how to make that much or more. People, firefighters, who will run into a burning building for you, don't make $250 an hour. You listen … Continue reading What I Like and Dislike About Therapy
Back
Our trip is over. We were supposed to fly home last night, but our flight was canceled. So we went from having a direct flight at a reasonable time to getting up at 3:45 and getting stuck in a long layover. But all that matters is we're home safely now. I'm eager to get back … Continue reading Back
Enjoying New England
We're up in New England. I'm from up here, and it's nice to come back where I came from. The water, the history, the rocky granite landscape that formed me down to my bones - it's nice to be back at the source even if I prefer Colorado or Florida. We got here last Sunday, … Continue reading Enjoying New England

I'm making washi tape tabs and using highlighters more than I ever have in my life! I have clear tip highlighters … Continue reading Bible Journaling Life
