Intertwining Lives

“Do we need to be here?”

I posed that question at TheHighCalling.org (THC) today. It originated with Simple Country Girl, actually. She was kind of thinking out loud in the comments last week, wondering if she “needs” to be in cyberspace, or if flesh-and-blood relationships are the ones we [...]

I must have been nine years old.

My parents hired a babysitter. For the first time ever, my sitter was Theresa, our teenage neighbor, instead of Grace, the plump and kindly 60-something-year-old woman who grew African Violets by her kitchen window and watched soap operas every afternoon.

Family Christian Store, however, was still open.

The Belgian Wonder and I stopped in and asked if they had Advent candles.

The clerk [...]

Three Purples and a Pink

By annkroeker On December 14, 2010 · 18 Comments
