Get Thee to the Nunnery! (our honeymoon cont.)

(If you have not caught up with Part I: How to Spend a Bonus Day in Greece, I recommend starting there. This will make far less sense otherwise.) *** British Airways gave us vouchers for the Athens Marriott, a 5-star hotel, with complementary lunch and dinner, a drink and snack at the airport, and a … Continue reading Get Thee to the Nunnery!

How to Spend a Bonus Day in Greece

When Rob and I were planning our honeymoon in Greece, we knew we wanted to stay on the mainland. We would be traveling in winter, and many of the islands shut down in the off season. But in terms of specifics, Rob gave me free rein to plan the trip. He had only one requirement: … Continue reading How to Spend a Bonus Day in Greece

Into the Wild Frontier

“I’ll call the Poor Clares [monastery] and ask them to pray for your trip,” my mom said on Tuesday, the day before my flight to Orlando. “Can’t you just pray?” I whined. “We don’t have to ask the Poor Clares pray for every little thing,” I said. These are the words that will go down … Continue reading Into the Wild Frontier

The Top 20 of 2020

If it hasn’t already been said, Charles Dickens wrote the best summary of the year 2020, which is remarkable given that he composed it in 1859: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of … Continue reading The Top 20 of 2020

The Art of Solo Thanksgiving

The Art of Solo Thanksgiving

Sometime around July or early August of this year, I had the thought: “At least this year I won’t be alone for Thanksgiving.” As I’ve mentioned in previous Thanksgiving Day blogs, Thanksgiving isn’t an elaborate holiday for my family. For the last decade or so, my parents have gone to Colorado Springs, where they eat … Continue reading The Art of Solo Thanksgiving

The King and I

The King and I

It began with a message on LinkedIn. Well, that’s not true. It actually began a year ago, with a group of girls gathered in my living room. I’d been reading a book by Jonathan Cahn called Paradigm, and I couldn’t get past the first 20 page because the truth of what he was saying was … Continue reading The King and I

“Let me not eat of their delicacies…”
Posted on March 23, 2018December 24, 2019

“Let me not eat of their delicacies…”

One of the practices I find great joy in doing is writing reflections. (You may recall a few months ago I shared an Advent reflection about what it means to go home for Christmas.) This process of writing reflections is helpful for me because it allows me to see scripture in a new way, by … Continue reading “Let me not eat of their delicacies…”

Top 12 Joyful Moments of 2017

Greetings, dear friends. As we come to a close of 2017, I wanted to keep in tradition of writing a Top New Year’s list, but instead of writing about food, or pictures, or moments, or pictures of best food moments, I’m going to keep in the spirit of that which has played the largest role … Continue reading Top 12 Joyful Moments of 2017

Global Scavenger Hunt: Here I Come

Global Scavenger Hunt: Here I Come

It started with an email. Over the past couple of years, I’ve collected travel subscriptions like they’re toothpicks, and a couple of weeks ago I received one from The Travel Magazine that had a subject headline: “Win a trip around the world.” Now, if you follow me on Twitter, you’ve noticed I’m a little overeager when it … Continue reading Global Scavenger Hunt: Here I Come
