service through a mask

On October 2, 2020October 1, 2020 By LindsayLeave a comment

It is almost month 8 of wearing a mask where I live and it has radically changed our day-to-day lives. The process for grocery shopping, ordering food, and going to doctor visits has added obstacles that most Americans didn't have to think about before the coronavirus came to our shores. The world has changed, and …

3 attributes of a biblical friend

On September 18, 2020September 10, 2020 By LindsayLeave a comment

You know that saying, "You don't get to choose your family, but you always get to choose your friends"? I wholeheartedly believe that God intended friendships to be necessary and crucial to making it through this world. Now, friendship has never once come easy for me; in fact, I've never felt qualified to write about …

what you choose to see

The popular child's game "I Spy" has been around since (at least) the 18th century. My family plays a variation on road trips where you have to find objects based on the order of the alphabet. And when you're going through the middle of nowhere and can't find anything that starts with a "V" or …

a healthy pattern

My stepdad has pretty cool taste in music. I remember his CD collection ranging from Broadway musicals to Enya and SEAL to The Nitty Gritty Band and Aerosmith. One of my favorites, though, was Phil Collins and his British rock band Genesis. Genesis released a song called "Abacab" in the early 80s, which reflected the …

4 lessons from Andrew

On July 24, 2020July 23, 2020 By LindsayLeave a comment

If I were to ask about your favorite individual in the Bible, I know who wouldn't come up in your top 5. Actually, if I asked your favorite apostle, I know who wouldn't top your list (other than one J. Iscariot!). Andrew was one of Jesus's twelve apostles and he's only mentioned twelve times in …

the myths of sin

On July 10, 2020July 9, 2020 By Lindsay1 Comment

The Broadway sensation Hamilton is sweeping the nation again as it opens its story up to the masses via Disney's streaming service. In watching it again (don't ask how many times!), there's always one song that sticks out to me: "It's Quiet Uptown." Without giving too much away, Alexander Hamilton and his wife Eliza experience …

Jesus, race, and pride

On June 12, 2020June 24, 2020 By Lindsay3 Comments

There is something truly dangerous that arises when people draw lines between one another. Blue vs. red party, male vs. female, vanilla vs. chocolate, SEC vs. BIG12, and white vs. color. While some of these are meant to lighten my point, I know that you can pick out moments of history where these separations have …

personalize your faith

On May 29, 2020May 28, 2020 By LindsayLeave a comment

Whether it's denomination-specific, like baptism or rituals, or whether it's culturally preferential, like what days to attend church or expected attire, we all know Christians who are on different points of the spectrum. I think each of us are our own special recipe of Jesus-follower, and that's the same with our faith, too. I have …

I had a birthday on Wednesday, and my friends drove their cars in front of my house to celebrate me by waving, shouting, and giving gifts. Not only was it a joy to see them after so long, but it was a wonderful reminder of the importance of community. Everyone feels love differently - we've …

healthier and holier

On May 1, 2020May 1, 2020 By LindsayLeave a comment

827. That's how many contacts I have in my phone. And I just learned that there's not a way to mass delete contacts, which I will have to email Apple about because cleaning up my contacts now seems like a Godzilla of a chore! The worst part? I don't remember a quarter of them. Why …
