The God Diet

I just read a really great Bible Girl column, written by guest writer Jared Binder, about the Christian church’s acceptance of gluttony, and its resultant obesity.
There’s this thing in the Bible called gluttony. The Bible says it’s a sin. But we don’t like to talk about that particular sin. We prefer to point a pudgy [...]

About Our Trip (and a faith lesson for me)

Our anniversary trip was great. I have some pictures, but I don’t feel like uploading them right now.
The Green River Bridge House was beautiful. I forgot how much I love being that far out in the country. It is way out on a dirt road out in the middle of Nowhere, VT. [...]

Eternal Perspective

Last night, I started going to a six-week, women’s Bible study at my church.
We were talking about Luke 7:36-50. (You can read the text of that passage here - no scrolling to find it, thanks to the awesome site Bible Gateway.)
We were talking about how much courage it took for this “sinful woman” to [...]

Walking by Faith

I’ve had the song, “Walk by Faith,” by Jeremy Camp, in my head for the past few days. I’ve known that song for years, we even have the CD, but I have never really thought about it much.
Then a few days ago, the lyrics really hit home:
I will walk by faith even when I [...]

Kutless

The band Kutless is fast becoming my favorite Christian rock group. The thing I like most about the band is how they can really rock out, but then also sing some beautiful worship music.
The first Kutless album that I bought was Strong Tower, which is a worship album. After listening to that, I [...]

My Homeschooling Season

I was reading the blog PHAT Mommy the other day and she has a post up about how she is less than passionate about homeschooling. It’s a really thought-provoking and honest post.
As I read it, I could really relate. I sometimes feel that way, too.
When I do, though, I remember (or more often, [...]

I’m Not Alright

This is one of my favorite songs, “I’m Not Alright,” by Sanctus Real.

I like this song for two reasons. The first is that the chorus - “I’m not alright, I’m broken inside, broken inside. And all I go through, leads me to You.” - really gets to the heart of why we do [...]

Counting the Cost

When I first became a Christian, I was all about not becoming one of *those* Christians. You know, the ones who are weird, different, almost sheltered in the way that they stay away from pop culture and all things normal.
So, I carried on with one foot in Christ and one foot in the ways [...]

Finally, the template is ready

I finally finished the template for the new blog. Whew. That took forever!
It’s kind of sad to be moving on from She’s Right. That blog has been such a part of my life for so long now. I know that many of my regular readers will not be interested in the [...]
