Second Breakfast

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

I had a terrible day the other day. It all started around 10:30 a.m. in my cubicle. I’m pregnant. And I’m starving. I turn to my trusty brown-bag and start in on the apple. About 30 minutes later it hits me again and I go for the carrots sticks dipped in my yummy curry chicken [...]



A Psalm-Reading Lightweight

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

For the past couple weeks, as I rolled out of bed each morning, it flickered like a dying flashlight in my mind. “You need Him, Joy. You should probably read your Bible.”
But I didn’t.
I didn’t really realize that I didn’t—but I didn’t just the same. So when I finally cracked a page on Saturday, I [...]



On the Schwinn AireDyne

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Our basement is home to a hodgepodge of leftover artifacts. One of these is my dad’s old Schwinn AirDyne exercise bike. Contrary to common logic, it’s one of the best-used items we own.

Clam Digging

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Jeremy and I are spending our second anniversary at my step-grandparents’ beach house on Bainbridge Island. This morning we walked along the shell-strewn sand while, five miles across the sound, Pastor Mark preached about God’s love, creating man in His image.
As the tide receded and the clams took to breathing in the fresh sea air, [...]



Can’t Seem to Catch a Break

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Two weeks ago a phantom driver swiped the side of our one month old Corolla in the middle of the night. It’s been at the shop ever since. Hundreds of dollars later, we still don’t know when it will be done.
Yesterday I discovered that our remodel is probably costing us thousands more than we had [...]



Fallback Thoughts

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

What is your quintessential fallback thought – the basic experience of your awareness?
Life passes. I grow thin. I grow fat. I have periods of stasis and of excitement; of thoughtless security and of tough, prayerful peace. At times my thoughts increasingly skip back to the past and at others I drive a straight line to [...]

Generous Campaign: Supporting Mars Hill Bellevue

Mars Hill Bellevue is helping kick off a church-wide effort to raise funds for a number of local ministry needs and our global effort to see as many churches and disciples of Jesus as possible. Why? Because God has been generous to us. By donating above and beyond regular church giving, we have a unique opportunity to start the new year strong and gain some ground in our mission to share Jesus with the world.
