My post today over at All The Church Ladies celebrates the life of Geraldine Ferraro (yes, I realize she was a liberal), and talks about the F-word (no, not that one.) Please join me there by clicking here!
Life
A Lying Liar
I am, quite possibly, the worst liar in the whole wide world.
Last week, we did a little quiz with a couples group from our church, and one of the questions was something like, “What’s one thing you appreciate about your spouse?” and my husband answered, “She’s always honest.” And it’s true. We’ve been married for almost 22 years, and he knows: I just don’t lie.
I even suck at telling benign fibs, like pulling someone’s leg with a joke, or planning a surprise party. If I even try to fool my husband about something, I turn into a giggling eight-year-old.
In fact, there’s only one area of my life where I fling all honesty to the wind. When it comes to exercising, I lie to myself like a politician with a fishing story. It’s the only way I can get my butt out the door. Continue reading
Those Glory Days – ATCL
For a couple of months now, I’ve been posting every Tuesday over at All The Church Ladies. I’m going to start linking to those posts here, for those of you who are interested.
All The Church Ladies is a new-ish web site started by one of my Christian writing heroes, Karen Spears Zacharias. It features daily posts by an assortment of women, talking about church life and church women, past and present, who are trying to share love and beauty with the world.
Today I wrote about the last glory days of the Assemblies of God Old-Fashioned Camp Meeting in Oregon (we attended in the late 70’s and early 80’s.) You can read about it by clicking here.
For Your Consideration
I will be scarce around here for a few weeks, as I tend to family matters and get ready for an upcoming music gig. So this is a perfect time for me to tell you about a few of MY favorite blogs – they’ll more than keep you rolling, while you wait breathlessly for my return.
(Stop laughing.)
A few months ago, when some friends talked me into getting a Twitter account, I did so grudgingly, and only because they told me that it was the best way to get my new blog seen by more than just, you know, my family and a couple of friends. Continue reading
Echoes of Truth
My little blog is six months (plus change) old, so to celebrate, I am having my first ever guest poster!
I met Tony Alicea through Twitter, and he has since become a dear friend – he is probably the nicest guy in my Twitter sphere. He lives in Florida, where he performs tech wizardry (he has rescued me from my ignorance, several times), listens to lots and lots of music, writes, and loves God; not at all in that order.
