Even just the title of this book flies my heart straight to Jesus, kindling afresh my desire to see him as he is. I’m reminded each day that only God’s strength can sustain and empower me for service, yet I’m tempted to desire worldly strength. JI Packer’s new book, Weakness is the Way: Life with [...]

When I was in college I nearly lost an eye in a construction accident. A bunch of us from church were smashing our clumsy thumbs as we hammered framing nails to build a house for a low-income family. A co-laborer’s stray framing nail ricocheted off the wood and through the air, piercing through my right [...]

by Gloria Furman As the kids’ paper chain calendar countdown gets shorter and shorter, my Things To-Do list seems to get longer and longer. Isn’t it funny how that happens? We’re packing up for a month-long trip to the States, making our first stop in Orlando for The Gospel Coalition National Conference. One might imagine [...]

A Year of Thoughtful Change

November 5, 2012 Devotional Mundane

Discussing how the gospel intersects our everyday lives in the home is what this blog is about. Although there’s usually some sort of drama going on over at our place, my everyday life is full of millions of mundane moments.

Review by Lindsey Carlson Can I have a word with you? Those words always make my skin crawl. Not because I’m anti-social, but because I instinctively think I’m about to get in trouble. Did I say something wrong? Did I speak out of turn? Did I hurt someone’s feelings? I have been a wordy-girl since [...]

by Gloria Furman I’ve never read an entire book devoted to the subject of modesty, but I’ve read several articles and chapters on the subject. These articles and chapters focused on things like bathing suits, movies, wedding dresses, and lipstick. And none of the articles ever began like this book does: “In the pages that [...]
