It really is an age-old question, one I suspect men ask each other to explain the mysteries of the opposite sex: Why do women go to the bathroom in groups? There are a lot of theories, from battling over the cutest guy, (oh please) to comparing notes about their dates, (can you say paranoid?) to… Continue reading we go together
In the ongoing discussion about male and female “roles” both at home and in the church, I recently received one of the simplest arguments in favor of equality that I’ve heard. It came in an e-newsletter I received this week, written by Christians for Biblical Equality President Mimi Haddad. Since I couldn’t find the article… Continue reading equality in Christ
I am constantly fascinated by the interactions which take place between men and women – both single and married. I seriously respect the complimentary differences God created in men and women. But I do enjoy providing some humorous views of those God-ordained differences. For example, I find men to be funny, quirky, remarkable, and often… Continue reading vive le difference
Cultivate Her is a new leadership environment focused on encouraging and developing women leaders. Right now, it meets monthly at Cross Point Church in Nashville, Tennessee. This recap of one of the first meetings includes a promotional video, as well as video of a discussion on women as “Bullies.” I think this is an incredible… Continue reading cultivate her
So it’s been awhile since we’ve had a frank discussion about sex, and today I find myself “in the mood” (pun intended). To be more specific, rather a discussion about the fine art of not having sex, if you’re a single disciple of Jesus, or just a woman of higher than average intelligence. What brought… Continue reading cows, cars, shoes, relationships
I just returned from a long weekend getaway down in Escondido. And because I understand the jaw-dropping jealously our prestigious accommodations will inspire, I’ll tell you we stayed at the Lawrence Welk resort. (That was really intended to be more tongue-in-cheek, just to be clear, though the resort is lovely.) A friend of mine had… Continue reading give a getaway
I’ve done a lot of reading this summer, and feel compelled to make at least one recommendation. This is it. If you love a great story – one with loving but imperfect families, compelling characters, and an occasional miracle – make time for Leif Enger’s Peace Like a River. This Los Angeles Times Best Book… Continue reading Peace Like a River
Science says so. Or… at least that’s how I read it. Though it’s possible that what science actually said was something more like, “eating it two or more times per week reduces the risk of dying from heart disease in heart attack survivors.” Well. “Eating chocolate reduces risk” (right there in plain English) is enough… Continue reading Eating Chocolate Prevents Death
This past weekend’s sailing adventure got me thinking about life. There’s such incredible freedom and exhilaration when you’re out on the waves and under the direct power of the wind. You know where I’m going with this, right? It’s just not possible to fully understand the concept of sailing while your boat is still tied… Continue reading sailing lessons
I had the opportunity to go sailing on Friday afternoon… which was a beautiful southern California day. For about 6 hours, I didn’t look for a job, I didn’t worry about a job – I just relaxed and enjoyed the awesome beauty of the ocean and the amazing friends God gave me to share it… Continue reading A breath of fresh air
