Jonalyn Grace Fincher: January 2010
http://jonalynfincher.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2010. New Body, New Blog Location. I did something a bit unusual tonight; I stepped on our scale. The scale was dusty and difficult to lug out without spilling the dog's bowl of water. After wiping it down with Simple Green, I stepped on top. It read 162 lbs. I almost gasped, that's almost 50 lbs more than I weighed this summer. Then, I recalled something, someone else gained 50 lbs in her first pregnancy. I just dreamed that Jonalyn was pregnant, what a realistic dream! But this l...

Jonalyn Grace Fincher: September 2009
http://jonalynfincher.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Meditation on Turning Thirty. The mist is slipping over the mountains like silk this morning. When I awake to see it and I know I am thirty years old today. Laying in bed, I listen to an elk call, a bugle that sounded at first like the ice cream truck. What is the ice cream man doing at 6am patrolling this forested neighborhood? The quickening is supposed to begin around this time, but most new moms don’t feel the baby until the 18 or even the 20. I held my breath to feel i...

Jonalyn Grace Fincher: Women- Sexy, Sexual, Feminine
http://jonalynfincher.blogspot.com/2009/10/women-sexy-sexual-feminine.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. Women- Sexy, Sexual, Feminine. Since Halloween is today, the one holiday where women can get away with dressing in the most sexual version of their favorite animal or occupation, with a recent speaking engagement on women and sexuality under my belt (listen at Irving Bible Church, select " Sexuality. What does it mean for a woman to be sexy? And is that something we can be without defrauding (arousing desires others cannot righteously pursue) in men (and women) around us?

Jonalyn Grace Fincher: Musings on Pregnancy- Weeks 27-29
http://jonalynfincher.blogspot.com/2009/11/musings-on-pregnancy-weeks-27-29.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. Musings on Pregnancy- Weeks 27-29. Walking down an icy hill to give a piano lesson, I keep getting distracted by what feels like air bubbles of pressure popping around in my stomach. But all I have to do is glance down and see my stomach rippling. The baby boy in my womb, who we affectionately call 'Birdie' is stretching. You don't get human life without this experience. Are you sure you're pregnant? He somewhat pointedly asked. I smiled wryly at him. He has little idea wha...

Jonalyn Grace Fincher: Lust- Alive and Well Among Women- Part II
http://jonalynfincher.blogspot.com/2009/08/lust-alive-and-well-among-women-part-ii.html
Thursday, August 20, 2009. Lust- Alive and Well Among Women- Part II. One evening on a Carnival Cruise my husband and I watched the evening show. The final dance was a spoof of the YMCA group which began with two male dancers stripping down to nothing but their skivvies. I watched more curious than lustful. There was not camouflaging or support happening as they hopped all over the stage. I found it biologically more amusing than tantalizing. So does this mean all women are really potential lesbians?

Jonalyn Grace Fincher: December 2009
http://jonalynfincher.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 21, 2009. Mary and Minute Rice. I've been identifying with Mary lately, expecting a boy, the inconvenience of being pregnant and having to travel. Nazareth is 80 miles from Bethlehem, a distance in the first century that she could have covered in one week at best. If that was what God had in store for his son I'd certainly wonder, "Couldn't you, the Maker of all things, orchestrate the arrival of the Son of God a little more majestically? How did she do it? As a Jew, she would have been ...

Jonalyn Grace Fincher: When Women Carry . . . Handguns: Sergeant Kimberly Munley and Fort Hood
http://jonalynfincher.blogspot.com/2009/11/when-women-carry-sidearms-sergeant.html
Saturday, November 7, 2009. When Women Carry . . . Handguns: Sergeant Kimberly Munley and Fort Hood. The recent shooting at Fort Hood has left me sober, but also grateful. If you have not heard the story I recommend you read it here:" Hash Browns, Then 4 Minutes of Chaos. Below is a significant section that I want to highlight this morning:. Ms Munley's first shot missed Maj. Hasan. He spun to face her and began charging, Mr. Medley said. The time was 1:27 pm, just four minutes after the initial 911 call.

Thursday, November 12, 2009. What Does Buddha Offer and What Does Jesus Offer? I've been in dialog with several Buddhists from around the world in my blog post " Jesus Outshines Buddha. Read the comments to see our dialog. I hope and have been praying that this blog post will serve to invite Jesus followers and Buddhists to post comments answering this one question:. How has Jesus or Buddha's teaching impacted your life in a positive way? What does 'salvation' mean to you? Please reference the passages i...
