• The Practice of Slowing

  One of the things the Lord has been teaching me this year is the importance of Sabbath in my life. My Sabbaths usually consist of turning off my phone, putting it in the downstairs bedroom Friday night after church, making banana bread every other week (when I have the ripe bananas from a client-friend), going…

• What Is A Hobby?

  As I’ve recently mentioned, I’ve been going through Annie F. Downs’s book, Chase The Fun and have been learning (or maybe relearning) what “fun” is. When I recently mentioned some of the things I’ve been doing that are and always have been fun to me (mainly reading and doing puzzles), multiple people decried those things…
