Christianity

I’ve thought a lot about how to teach my children about God. I have a strong faith. I pray every single day. I talk to God. I listen for God. I long for a closer relationship with God. But we stopped attending church this summer. When walking the line of monotheism, rainbow flags in our [...]

My Daughter's Little Family

I’m playing with my daughter, N. We are using small plastic people from such adventures as “Mama and Dada Bring a Baby Home and Eat Ice Cream” and “I Go to a School Where a Dog is My Only Classmate”. Not to be outdone, my daughter creates a diverse family of her own. I ask [...]

E seems to have left his manners at school. He’s a yelling, screaming banshee. I spend every breath redirecting him from eatingplaydough wakinguphissister hipcheckingthedog. And then he hits me. Me: E, apologize to Mama for hitting her. (talking in a third person makes me sound more imposing.) E: I can’t. Me: Why? (Don’t scold me [...]

Thanks to Angie at A Whole Lot of Nothing for the image and continued writing on the subject.

I have wanted to post on the recent suicides of five teenagers. Who were gay. And teased. Tormented. Bullied. Billy Lucas (15 years old), Tyler Clementi (18 years old), Asher Brown (13 years old), Seth Walsh (13 years old), and Raymond Chase (19 years old). But I have been struggling with how. I was bullied [...]

Tonight, after my nearly-four-year-old son’s hour-long tantrum culminating in him being held down in the car so he wouldn’t unbuckle his seat belt or hit my husband, I said while clearly shaken-up: What if I had been by myself? What would I’ve done? Person who shall remain anonymous: God doesn’t give you more than you [...]

April 2003 We wake up on Easter morning to go and pray on a mountain lookout near Charlottesville. Yeah, I thought it was stupid, too. We leave before sunrise with a sleeping bag, thermos full of hot chocolate, two winter hats and a Bible. So if we get stuck up on the top of the [...]

For the past several Sundays I have skipped out on my spiritual post. I haven’t gone atheist, but I’ve had nothing to write. I thought with all the weddings that I’m in, my Sunday posts would be easy. I see God as the foundation of my marriage and I even officiated my friend’s wedding last [...]

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God…” Romans 12:2 Many Christians I know vote based on a single issue, usually abortion.  Now I don’t want to get into the pro-choice, anti-abortion debate.  I understand that [...]
