Lancelot Andrewes and Icons for Vocation

September 26, 2021 By Dorian Del Priore Leave a Comment

Spiderman’s real name was Peter Parker, and the wit and brains were a part of Peter before he became Spiderman. That gave me hope. I was sort of a dorky, nerdy kid, and if a kid like Peter could become something great, then maybe I could, too.

Eyes on Jesus

June 5, 2020 By Laura Shaver Leave a Comment

Last fall sometime, I declared our family’s Bible passage to be Hebrews 12:1-3 for the school year. I chose it mostly for our oldest son, who in fourth grade, was continuing to struggle to find motivation.

The simplest love story, loud and true

October 30, 2019 By Laura Shaver 6 Comments

In the middle of a Saturday morning, with cartoon noise in the background, two dogs snoring after a brisk walk around the neighborhood, brothers rushing out the garage door to ride bikes and meet up with friends, our littlest will bust out in song.

When the Pencils are Dull

September 19, 2019 By Tina Clark 1 Comment

“Hey Mom, it’s a new world record…I lost my lunchbox on the first day of school!”This declaration from my newly minted 7th grader should have made me angry, or at least frustrated. Instead, I found myself laughing with relief and genuine glee; the pressure was off already.
