Encouragement in Spiritual Disciplines
Though it’s the Holy Spirit who grows us spiritually, we are also called to cooperate with Him. This area of my blog seeks to explore spiritual disciplines that help in our cooperation to grow in Christ.
Ancient Practice for Remembering God’s Presence Throughout the Day
I walked into my husband's office to look through every single shelf seeking a book title that might touch my heart. My husband has two offices, each with walls covered with books. To be married to a man who loves books as much as I do is a dream come true. His books...
If You’re Longing for a New, Full Life
Long walks and bike rides have been P.E. at the Jung Homeschool this week. Warm days and new spring life sprouting up and down the sidewalks from our house to the downtown riverfront call us outdoors. We respond with a passion, a camera, bikes and a scooter. I...
The Greatest Perspective Available to Overcome Temptations

Writing for Life Part 3
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I've seen you in the sanctuary, beheld your power and glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you....
Journaling for Life Part 2

Journaling for Life Part 1
Dawson Trotman, evangelist and founder of the Navigators, once said, "Thoughts disentangle themselves when they pass through your fingertips." By my experience, he was right. Writing and journaling enables me to make sense out of the world and my experiences. For...
