Seriously, y'all ... this simplicity thing is killin' me. I'm on week four of examining Richard Foster's controlling principles of simplicity and this week booted me all the way back to week one. You remember week one, right? The post where I explained why I don't have a MacBook and confessed my love of gadgetry. Well, guess what principle number four is: Refuse to be propagandized by the custodians of modern gadgetry. Ummm, ouch. I love gadgets. Sitting on my desk as I type are the ... [Read More]
Unshakeable Faith
Unshakeable Faith, an 8-session Bible study for women by Kathy Howard, has just been released by New Hope Publishers. This study helps readers apply 8 key “faith traits” found in the life of Peter so they will be prepared to weather the harshest storms of life. Hopefully you are already familiar with Kathy and her gift at teaching God's truths. She is a writer at Scripture Dig and has become a dear friend and mentor. I'm excited about this new study and looking forward to going through it ... [Read More]
When Doing Something is Simple
Yesterday I shared how growing in simple has been far more complex than I expected. But today, I am asking you to join me in doing something ... making a difference globally ... by doing something very simple.

For the past twelve years I have been involved with this type of ministry and the opportunity each week to make a difference in the lives of women and families in crisis is truly a great ...

Finally, Something I Already Do
This quest toward simple has been more than a little frustrating already! In fact, I have to admit that as we barely enter the second month of the year, I've already contemplated changing my one word to NAP. If you've been following along the past few Wednesdays, I've been sharing the controlling principles of simplicity that Richard Foster outlines in his book, Celebration of Discipline. First, I explained why I don't have a Mac Book {even though I'd LOVE to!}. Then, I admitted how big my ... [Read More]
Do we like each other?
When I switched from Pleasing to You to this beautiful new home {and btw, thank you for the ongoing compliments on this lovely space created for me by Erin of Insight Blog Design!} ... I also made a new Facebook page to go with new blog and redeveloped purpose. The problem is ... I lost some people in doing that! If you have a page for your blog, will you please leave me a comment so I can add it to my page's favorites? And, if by chance you haven't liked my new page, I'd certainly appreciate ... [Read More]
Apparently my but is really big
It's almost noon and I am struggling through this post ... still. Like I have been struggling through the three drafts I have begun and discarded. My quest for simple is apparently going to be a little more complex than I had expected. I suppose I simple-mindedly had believed that it would be a matter of discarding unnecessary items and modifying some scheduling around the house. I figured I would have to learn to say, "No," more often and that there would be time when I let of good to ... [Read More]
