Beckoned by the Holy

January 6, 2023 By Bonnie Smith Whitehouse Leave a Comment

I love everything about this new season of Epiphany—chalking the doors, eating King Cake, wearing crowns, and reflecting on the light.

John, for me, is the apostle of light, the apostle who shines the light on the true nature of our God and our Lord and Savior.

Each complete, in and of their own selves, individually, yet exist corporately together, as one construct, or being.

Maundy Thursday’s Call to Love

April 1, 2021 By Allison Sandlin Liles Leave a Comment

Do you remember observing Maundy Thursday at home last year? It felt like a quaint, one-time experience to share with our households, then years later share as a story with future generations of the family. Except of course, it wasn’t a one-time experience. We’re here again a year later with another Maundy Thursday at home.

A Hope-Sustaining and Lovely Time with the Good Book Club

February 21, 2020 By Sara Irwin 1 Comment

I was pretty clear with myself that I didn’t think it would be an easy practice to take on reading daily scripture together, I was hopeful. And, in fact, it has been a hope-sustaining and lovely time.

When the kids become the teachers

January 9, 2020 By Allison Sandlin Liles Leave a Comment

We are three days into the Good Book Club and so far, we are batting three for three in the Liles household. It feels like a heroic accomplishment during this first week back to school after winter break.

Getting Ready to Get Down with the Gospel of John

January 4, 2020 By Sara Irwin Leave a Comment

I had a friend once observe about Lenten disciplines that, while they shouldn’t be used as just another way to try to address our bad habits, there was some comfort in trying out a discipline without the pressure of “forever.”
