Renewed Day by Day: Luke, the Great
http://reneweddaybyday.blogspot.com/2008/08/luke-great.html
Renewed Day by Day. Friday, August 29, 2008. Luke, the Great. 1 He loves his daddy and tries to be just like him. 2 He likes to be helpful. This morning, he helped me make the bed. I didn't ask for his help. He just started tugging on the covers. He threw pillows up onto the bed for me as well. He often helps me move laundry from the washer to the dryer. He always runs to get them mail when he hears it fall through the mail slot. He is kindhearted. 5 I love the way he pats me on the back when he hugs me.

Renewed Day by Day: March 2008
http://reneweddaybyday.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Renewed Day by Day. Friday, March 28, 2008. Earlier this month, I entered the 30s club. As my birthday fell on the church's Parent's Night Out for March, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to get our friends together for a little party. My sweet friend Candace took some pictures and posted them on her blog. I am so blessed to be surrounded by loving friends and family. Monday, March 17, 2008. I sat stunned. God had just obliterated obstacles one and two. In fact, the people on the other si...Conni...

Blessings Like Winged Horses: . . . even if he does not . . .
http://wingsbirthday.blogspot.com/2010/10/even-if-he-does-not.html
Even if he does not . . . Even if he does not . . . A little over two years ago, three beautiful women and I spent a beautiful, heart-searching, restful, exciting time together. I'd seen all of them before, in college, but we didn't know each other until we met blogging. Was one of those women. It was her home we invaded, her food we ate, her wine we drank, her town we explored and came to love. Eleven days ago, I stayed up late to pray for her son. Ewan. Over the last eleven days, I have cried great tea...

Renewed Day by Day
http://reneweddaybyday.blogspot.com/2008/05/pop-and-granny-gave-luke-what-he-calls.html
Renewed Day by Day. Thursday, May 29, 2008. Pop and Granny gave Luke what he calls a playground for his birthday. We have taken to going out to the playground in the mornings before it gets too hot. This morning, I thought to grab my camera before he was through playing. I had so much fun taking pictures. I had a hard time narrowing them down, so you are now inundated with many pictures of my favorite subject. Heavy lifting requires help from the tongue. Still working on that piece of plastic. But maybe ...

Renewed Day by Day: September 2007
http://reneweddaybyday.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Renewed Day by Day. Thursday, September 27, 2007. The Joys of Raising a Boy. This morning, a boyishly proud Luke walked up to me and handed me a dead rolly-poly. I don't think he killed the rolly-poly. It looks like it has been dead for a while. I said, "Thank you" to my gleaming son. He explained his find in delighted "dohs" and "dahs." Though I may forever treasure the memory, the gift is now trashed. Blessing of Being Busy. Life has suddenly become so busy. I have to admit, I like it. God has also ble...

Not All Who Wander Are Lost (or So They Say). More than a month (nearly two! Since I've occupied this place in any meaningful way, and so much between then and now that truly catching you up is more than I could do, because I'm not caught up yet myself. But here's the summary:. A week in Nevada, at WorldCon (why, yes, we are nerds! Where we learned that toddlers and conferences are not entirely incompatible, but are also not the best-synced things on the planet. A week in Virginia, teaching. Another preg...

Blessings Like Winged Horses: Everything and Nothing
http://wingsbirthday.blogspot.com/2012/10/everything-and-nothing.html
We are, none of us, everything. Not to ourselves or our spouses or our children or to anyone who we love. I'm reminded of this forcibly when my 2-year old's face crashes because I can't pick her up. Baby brother in one arm and three or four grocery bags in the other, walking through the middle of the parking lot, it's an impossibility. I cannot do it. May I point them to Jesus, who has already given it all! May one of the things I learn to do well be directing their eyes to his and teaching them to see!

Blessings Like Winged Horses: July 2011
http://wingsbirthday.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Feeling More Than One Thing. You know those days that you remember forever? Graduation, engagement, marriage, death, beating cancer, falling in love, having a child. They're the important days, the ones that change you or that usher change into your life. They make you who you are and, once they're past, you'll never be the same. I can't tell you the agonies this sort of thinking caused me. I felt so stuck, because I wanted to feel happy about certain things but I could never unequivocally say that I...
