Checking In
Greetings to all! I still enjoy writing, I still care about this blog, and I am still the same person. In fact, the one-year anniversary of my blog came and went last week, with only the fanfare of sharing the news with my husband! There have been many things to write about in the past […]
New Shoes, New Year
As many of you know by now, I chose the name of my blog because of its Biblical significance (Hebrews 12) and because of my lifelong love for running. I always feel a little bit strange writing about running because I run so infrequently these days. After spending my teen and early adult years running […]
I Had to Write
I shared an update on Facebook recently in which I stated that I had almost been distracted from remembering Christ’s death and resurrection this week especially, what with the timing of many political and social “hot topics” here and abroad. This post is as much for myself, then, as for others. I hesitated to post […]
100!
After weeks of very sporadic writing, but with lots going on in life, I finally sat down and worked on some posts late–too late–last night. After I clicked “publish” on the second piece I finished, my blog statistics informed me that it was my one hundredth post since starting the blog in May of last […]
I’m Listening!
When I was in high school, my close friends joked about my being the “queen of the radio”, meaning that whatever was on my mind, seemed to show up in just the right songs on the radio. It got a little weird sometimes, as if I could think of certain song lyrics, and then within […]
Better Than Valentine’s Day
I wrote this about two years ago before I even had begun this blog, but am reposting it here to celebrate the best Valentine’s Day I ever had–and there was no romantic love at all! Seventeen (really, seventeen?) years ago this week, I was a sophomore at Tulane University. A week past Valentine’s Day, and […]
12/18/12
I finally stopped Long enough tonight To let the tears come They had needed to fall But not in front of the little eyes That don’t yet grasp grief and weariness I set aside the order and reason of laundry And just sat down on my bedroom floor Songs filled my ears and my heart […]
It’s Just Allergies…
I’ve spent the past day or so trying to convince V. and myself that my endless sniffles and sneezes are in fact “just allergies”. It’s become a joke by now, and everyone knows that Mommy is indeed under the weather. I’m breaking some kind of mommy rule, I know, but here I am with my […]
Giving Grace
This is no revelation, but I was struck anew with some thoughts on giving grace to others, because we often have no idea what they are going through or have endured. I was reading a fellow blogger’s post, as well as some of the comments following it, and what I realized all over again is, […]
