There is soundness in my flesh

June 5, 2018 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been reading through the Bible chronologically. Lately I’ve been in 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Chronicles with Psalms sprinkled throughout. It really changes the way I read the psalms, because now I’m reading them smack dab in the middle of context. Having just read about David’s own son trying to steal … Continue reading There is soundness in my flesh

The Easter Story (as told by a First Grade Teacher)

April 1, 2018April 1, 2018 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

For the first time in my educational career, this year I have been responsible for teaching my students Bible. Unfortunately I don’t have a Bible curriculum, but I do have a bilingual Jesus Storybook Bible and a random Bible activity book that have been doing us just fine. For the most part I have been … Continue reading The Easter Story (as told by a First Grade Teacher)

Not *That* Kind of Diversity

June 17, 2017September 8, 2017 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

My favorite thing about YouthWorks is that it throws together four or five individuals who might never in any other context find themselves spending significant time together. YouthWorks takes these four or five individuals and tosses them in a mini van to drive to a place they've probably never been before to live and work … Continue reading Not *That* Kind of Diversity

Thirteen Reasons Why

April 17, 2017May 8, 2017 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine shared an article on Facebook that was called something like, "Dear Girls, Stop Wearing Bathing Suit Bottoms that Show Your Butt," or something ridiculously lame. (I just Googled "dear girls stop wearing" and there is a freaking website called dearblankpleaseblank.com which just exists to tell people … Continue reading Thirteen Reasons Why

Sin stems from selfishness and pride. Love stems from selflessness and humility. Cultivate love in your life and in the lives of others.

This morning I have a hacking cough that I decided would be a distraction to my fellow church goers, so I stayed home to do church on the internet like a real millennial. Usually I listen to the sermons from Apex Community Church, a church I attended for a time in college, but this morning … Continue reading Moving forward

Here’s the thing about identity

October 20, 2015October 20, 2015 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

I haven't been blogging a lot lately. Here's why. I started blogging for the same reason I started doing a lot of things - I want people to like me. I want people to think I'm cool and smart. I wanted likes and comments and praise and fans. It sounds silly and feels weird to … Continue reading Here’s the thing about identity

Fearless in the face of (your) evil

October 12, 2015October 12, 2015 ~ Suzanne ~ Leave a comment

Before Samuel was even born his mother, Hannah, dedicated him to a life of what we would call “full time ministry.” Because of this dedication, Samuel grew up in the temple under the instruction of Eli the priest. Even though Eli and his greedy, adulterous sons were not the best examples for Samuel, he served … Continue reading Fearless in the face of (your) evil

Here’s the thing about murderers

September 25, 2015September 25, 2015 ~ Suzanne ~ 4 Comments

I noticed something this week while reading the story of Moses in Exodus and Accidental Saints by Nadia Bolz-Weber. It's something I started to pick up on while reading JS Park's The Life of King David. It struck me again this morning while I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a picture of a church service that caters … Continue reading Here’s the thing about murderers

Here’s the thing about infection

August 10, 2015August 10, 2015 ~ Suzanne ~ 1 Comment

Tonight at church we took communion. We acknowledged and celebrated, again, that Jesus become human and that He died for us. We lamented our sins and celebrated our forgiveness. We acknowledged our old life and celebrated our path toward righteousness. In the time of preparation I prayed about a couple different things. I started to … Continue reading Here’s the thing about infection
