    Christians: Say "I Don't Know" More Often

    "They keep coming up new all the time - things to perplex you, you know. You settle one question and there's another right after. There are so many things to be thought over and decided when you're beginning to grow up. It keeps me busy all the time thinking them over and deciding what's right. It's a serious thing to grow up, isn't it, Marilla?" (Lucy Maud Montgomery) For all the ways Christians in "Christian Culture" today can grow, I don't know any topic that wouldn't improved by admitting we don't know everything more often. We don't ALWAYS have a defending, prepared answer ready. I'll never forget the life-changing value this admittance had on my life. ---- Don Shorey's Rule Number 8 in "12 Small Rules To Get Over Ourselves and Take A Deep Breath": https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXETNXBc7Q/

    Why I Wanted To Be A Mother

    Not a persuasion piece on why anyone else "should want," but a personal testimony on why I *wanted* to be a mother before I was one. "And what do all the great words come to in the end, but that? I love you- I am at rest with you- I have come home." (Dorothy L. Sayers)

    The Importance of Romance's Start

    In-between "me" and "him and then the "us" was a time where our lives merged. The first memories of us as us. This is a sacred, living, continued stage that should take you "there" as often as possible. "To me it is really important to live in what I call the spaces in-between. Bus stations, trains, taxis, or waiting rooms in airports are the best places because you are open to destiny, you are open to everything and anything can happen." (Marina Abramovic)

    How To Care For Others Going Through Hardship

    "We must bless without wanting to manipulate. Without insisting that everything be straightened out right now. Without insisting that our truth be known.  This means simply turning whoever it is we need to bless over to God, knowing that God's powerful love will do what our own feeble love or lack of it won't." (Madeleine L'Engle) A few thoughts from someone who has been carried through hardship over and over, and wants you to know how impactful the little efforts to ease and show up are. Thank YOU.

    Dream Well vs. Dream Big

    I cringe a little when "people" insist we need to be dreaming BIG. In relation to size, only. "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." (Eleanor Roosevelt) Some GOOD dreams may have large ramifications and ideas, and that is beautiful. But other good dreams are deliciously simple. Dream well!

    Full of Thanks

    On paying attention and being grateful! "It all matters. That someone turns off the lamp, says hello to the invalid, listens to the repeated tale, folds the abandoned laundry, plays the game fairly, acknowledges help, gives credit, says goodnight, resists temptation, wipes the counter, makes the bed, tips the waitress, remembers the illness, congratulated the successes, accepts the consequences, takes a stand, steps up, offers a hand, goes first, goes last, chooses the small portion, teaches the child, tends to the dying, comforts the grieving, removes the splinter, wipes the tear, directs the lost, touches the heart. What is most beautiful, is least acknowledged. What is worth dying for is barely noticed." L. McBride

    Asking Questions

    Thinking through the importance of "ask, and it will be given to you." Starting with these words from Fred Rogers:"In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers."
