I’m joining Emily over at Chatting at the Sky as we reflect on the things we learned in February. In no particular order: 1. Yoga pants. I could wear them all day every day. There was a big kerfuffle about yoga pants and modesty earlier in the month, and I paid absolutely no attention to any … Continue reading "What I Learned in February"

Do You Not Trust His Promises?

The tempter comes to Him in the desert, whispers lies masquerading as truth in His ears. “If you are who you claim to be, turn these stones to bread,” he mocks, striking at His point of need, at His hunger, His identity. Show me who you really are. Prove yourself to me. Later, atop a … Continue reading "Do You Not Trust His Promises?"

Worthwhile Weekend Words

It’s been a good week around here. Katie seems to be feeling better and she’s sleeping for slightly longer periods at night (it’s amazing how much difference one uninterrupted three-hour stretch of sleep makes for me!). We’re having unseasonably gorgeous weather which will lead to all kinds of trouble when there’s no water this summer, … Continue reading "Worthwhile Weekend Words"

Today’s {Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real} brought to you by the letter ‘B’. {Pretty} Unlike the parts of the country which are suffering from far too much snow, January and February have been unseasonably warm here in our neck of the woods. Our afternoon walks involve t-shirts and sunglasses and are accompanied by the sounds of … Continue reading "{Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real}"

Worthwhile Weekend Words

I sometimes have a hard time remembering that small things matter. Perhaps that’s a part of why I started this blog – to remind myself, more than anyone, that faith happens in the daily, in the mundane, in the ordinary, that I need to choose, this moment, who I am going to serve. There were … Continue reading "Worthwhile Weekend Words"

The Internet is full of good, interesting, edifying reads. Unfortunately, it is also full of garbage. In an effort to help save you time, and also to maybe bring some valuable ideas to your attention, I’m introducing a new feature here at Choosing This Moment – Worthwhile Words for Your Weekend (alliteration!), where I share … Continue reading "Worthwhile Weekend Words"

On Winter Storms

Posted: January 27, 2015 Under: Family and Parenting

The snow swirls, flakes drifting lazily from a storm-darkened sky. I must admit this is somewhat anticlimactic; yesterday, they were predicting doom and gloom, telling us that certainly the end was coming, that we would all be confined to our homes as the world turned white. There will be piles of snow, they told us, … Continue reading "On Winter Storms"

Winter

We’re past the holidays now, have moved into the long stretch between the festive gatherings of December and the first blooms of spring. It’s interesting, isn’t it, that winter begins on the shortest day of the year? That though the days grow longer, though the light, the blessed light, is returning, still weeks of cold … Continue reading "Winter"

New Year Resolutions: The Things that Matter

The holidays come and go in a flurry of green and red and gold, Christmas carols providing a lovely backdrop to the decorating of the house, to the making and wrapping of gifts, to the cooking of pies and of roasts. We had a simple season this year, simple gifts, simple plans, and it was … Continue reading "New Year Resolutions: The Things that Matter"

We danced the other night, Katie and I. Lest you have any visions of grace and beauty running through your mind at that statement, let me dispel them right now: by “danced”, I mean I spun awkward circles in my living room, made fumbling sashay steps back and forth, and sang an off-key version of … Continue reading "Dancing, Despair and Hope"
