Grace Grows Wings: October 2016
http://gracegrowswings.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Seeking glimmers of His grace this side of heaven. Friday, October 14, 2016. To My Pro-Choice Friends: Give Life a Chance. Please listen. Don't turn away. Try to understand. A person is a person no matter how small. You may ask, what do you mean? It's common knowledge that the name of what is growing inside of a pregnant woman is called fetus, not baby. And so, not a person. I beg you to look again. At conception, two separate DNA combine to form the living blueprints of a new individual, right? Pushing ...

Seeking glimmers of His grace this side of heaven. Sunday, August 16, 2015. The One Place to Lay My Head. Throughout my life, I've felt this restlessness. Like there was no where for me to be still and lay the full weight of my. Experience full acceptance, comfort and relief. Jesus felt the same way when He walked upon the earth. He was far from heaven where He dwelt in perfect unity with the Father. If you look at the four gospels ( Matthew 26:36. He has no beginning and no end ( Revelation 1:8. He chos...

http://gracegrowswings.blogspot.com/2016/12/when-its-not-cancer-celebrating-sabbath.html
Seeking glimmers of His grace this side of heaven. Thursday, December 8, 2016. When it's NOT Cancer: Celebrating the Sabbath. SO many things in life get put on hold when you think you might have cancer. It's like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings plunked his staff right in front of all my planning about anything beyond the here and now and said, "You shall not pass! Laundry, check. Dishes, check. Maintaining a clean house, check. Freezer stocked with frozen pizzas, check! They'll be all right. We've been ex...

Grace Grows Wings: After 2016: How to Have a Happy 2017
http://gracegrowswings.blogspot.com/2016/12/after-2016-how-to-have-happy-2017.html
Seeking glimmers of His grace this side of heaven. Friday, December 30, 2016. After 2016: How to Have a Happy 2017. I want to be able to genuinely say it. But, something has to be said about 2016. The elections, Aleppo, even terrorist attacks in our beloved city of Orlando and throughout the world have rocked us, threatening to tear many of us apart. In some ways, they already have. How does one heal after such a tragic, divisive year? As with any revival, it begins with one. Those things don't matter.

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Notes on the Second - VII. Horrible, Horrible Thoughts. Is ripped out of the chests of parents and communities, irreplaceable. In my own experience, baby's complete dependence and vulnerability make the horrible thoughts so pressing, because in many cases, I'm the one responsible.

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Friday, February 13, 2015. Notes on the Second - V. Chunk. Fat, but it's enough chunk for me to get a little queasy-cringy every time someone breaks out the photo album. Moving to Germany and regular exercise, among other thing, has kept me reasonably fit sense, and I want to keep it that way. This time around I'm determined to avoid the chunk. Effect on my waste line. Notes on the Second. Notes on the Seco...
