A little quiet around here? Maybe it’s been little while since you saw a new post? There’s a reason. For some unknown reason, my new posts keep glitching and throwing code, so I have decided to move the blog part of my website to Substack. You can find it here, at https://fearlessandjoyful.substack.com. This site will… Continue reading Has it seemed…

Song Share Saturday #22
Last night, we were out in the barn sitting by the fire with our friends Jason and Jenny. I had already been trying to decide what songs to do for today’s song share, so when the subject turned to music (as it almost always does), I asked Jason if he wanted to pick today’s songs.… Continue reading Song Share Saturday #22
Camp and Jam!
I know. I’m behind. I still owe y’all the conclusion on 1 John, and Daniel and I also have started on Hebrews for our Tuesday morning studies. I missed a couple of Song Share Saturdays. And I still haven’t posted our vacation photos (sorry, mom). BUT We played for the first time on stage as… Continue reading Camp and Jam!
Receive and Believe
Today we are rounding out our study of 1 John with chapter 5. And, as always, you can find all of mine and Daniel’s 1 John posts here. We’ve been talking a lot about loving our siblings. John has made it pretty clear how God wants us to treat one another (because remember, love is… Continue reading Receive and Believe
Never Forget
Any time tragedy strikes, it leaves a mark. What kind of mark has a lot of determining factors – the scope, the nature, the outcome, the collective response, your proximity. Just as many tragedies before, 9/11 left a mark on those who sent through it, those of us who remember it, those who were directly… Continue reading Never Forget
Rhythm vs. Balance
I was listening to a podcast earlier this week – Business and Babies with Ashely Schubert. The espisode I was listening to was called “Relationship is Everything”. She made a statement that really resonated with me. She was asked about how she balanced her work and home life, and she said something to the effect… Continue reading Rhythm vs. Balance
Prayer Against Resistance
God, I’m so tired. I’m tired of resistance. It feels like everywhere I turn, something is pushing against me. Trying to stuff me into a hole I don’t fit into. Trying to squish me and make me contort. My spirit is tired. I try to have a joyful heart, to meet these forces head on,… Continue reading Prayer Against Resistance
Do This to Remember
So this isn’t my normal “Table Talk” post, but since the subject was on the Lord’s Supper, I decided to classify it as such. Jeremy and I were talking about the Lord’s Supper this morning. For a while now, we have talked about how we don’t think we have it right. That the early Christians… Continue reading Do This to Remember
Love is From God
Continuing our study on 1 John, today we are taking a look at chapter 4. Click here to find all of both mine and Daniel’s posts on 1 John. In the last chapter, in verse 23, we learn that our command from God is to trust in the name of Christ and to love one… Continue reading Love is From God
Smells Like Teen Spirit
My days with littles are running out. Today, #3 became an official teenager, which means I only have one little left. Where once we bought Barbie dolls and stuffed animals, we now buy books and craft supplies. This young lady (for she is no longer a little girl) is still all about the critters –… Continue reading Smells Like Teen Spirit
Saturday Song Share #21
Today is Audrey’s birthday! So I decided to let her pick the songs for today’s song share. Her favorite is “As the Deer”, which you can find here, since she had already picked it another time. So I asked her to pick two different ones to try to come up with a couple we haven’t… Continue reading Saturday Song Share #21
