Y’all, there are so many thoughts in my head right now, I feel like I’m going to short-circuit. Thoughts of life and death, of Life and Death, thoughts of friendship and beauty, laughter and tears, compassion and care, thoughts of duties and errands, thoughts of the future, thoughts of marriage, commitment and sacrifice, passion and [...]

I don’t know how life works, really. I don’t know how you go from one phase into another, I don’t know how you raise kids, I don’t know how relationships are formed, grown, lost, rekindled, etc., and I don’t have a clue in the world what I’m doing most of the time. I just get [...]

Y’all. I feel like tired that got tired, fell asleep, and woke up still tired. This week has been so utterly exhausting, I cannot explain it in words that currently exist in the lexicon. We’ve been going non-stop since Saturday morning, learning everything we can about World Team, church planting, discipleship, evangelizing, leadership and multiplication. [...]

I know what you’re thinking. Which way is she going to go with this? Is it going to be about living the dream or Febreeze-ing a giant cockroach? Well, friends, why not both? Heck yes, this is all about having your cake and eating it too. Without any fuzzy bugs distracting you. But not really. [...]

Posted by beth on August 1, 2011

We’re all moved!! And I don’t think there’s been a day in the past week that I haven’t woken up completely sore from all the lifting and carrying large, heavy things up and down stairs. Who needs the gym? I’m just going to start my own moving company. Stay in shape AND make money! Genius! [...]

Oh man. Between packing and moving and working and professionally developing and stressing out about the last-minute remodeling of both our bathrooms and our consequent inability to move any more things into our apartment until tomorrow, I’m beat. Totally, utterly and thoroughly exhausted. So forgive my absence this past week. I’ve been a tad busy [...]

Posted by beth on July 11, 2011

I have always had sort of a love/suspicion relationship with Google. I think everything they do is awesome, but at the same time, I think they’re getting ready to take over the world, and I’m not sure what kind of ruler they’ll be. So when I heard about Google+, I was once again intrigued, excited [...]

Posted by beth on June 2, 2011

Well, I’ve deviated slightly from my reading list, but I’m still reading, and today I have two book reviews for you. The first is Celia Rivenbark’s latest, You Can’t Drink All Day if You Don’t Start in the Morning. It’s a combination of humor memoir and cookbook that, frankly, isn’t as good as her other [...]

Posted by beth on April 14, 2011

I woke up this morning, and my first thought was, Am I trapped in some weird adult Narnia where the Work Witch has made it to be always the work week and never Friday? Seriously, why is it that the last week before vacation feels like a whole year? It reminds me of that scene [...]

Posted by beth on March 29, 2011

I bought Adele’s first album, 19, two years ago because a friend’s G-chat status said, “Buy Adele’s new album.” And friends, I am so glad that I did. I love her. She’s soulful, creative, gut-wrenching at times and overall just extremely, extremely talented. So when I heard she had a new record coming out (21), [...]
