Even in Cambridge

Cherokee America

The events of this feat of historical fiction take place during the spring of 1875, yet encompass sweeping issues of race, class and culture that live on today.  Consider picking up Verble’s work or another work by a native writer and enrich your culture with a complexity that breeds truth and connection.

What the medals don’t show

This month, my husband and I ran the Cambridge Half Marathon for the third time, under a team name we first organized in 2016.  “Did you win?” my son asked me afterwards. “No,” I said, and yes, I thought.  I enjoyed unexpected company and found a new community.  And that truly felt like something to celebrate.

The Moment of Lift

While we critiqued the structure and focus of Ms. Gates’s book, we found some strong takeaways.  As she presented situations where empowering women led to stronger relationships and communities, she shared her conviction to examine gender equality in her own marriage and workplace.  And I felt her invitation to us, to seek connection and equality in our own lives.

What is God saying to you in this: Reprise

Two months ago, as I anticipated co-leading a small discussion group at church on Daring Greatly, I wrote about the question I was asking God about the uncertainty in my life:
What are you saying to me in this?

This month, my small group completed its book study, and I walked away with a few answers and many more tools in my belt that I hope to reference for a long time.

Christian Community for Higher Ed Students

When my friend Susan invited me to hear about her outreach to higher education students through InterVarsity, I easily recognized the need to give students a sense of belonging.  Consider how you too could support this effort that strives to shepherd them and remind them that they are fully known and loved by God.
