Meet the Husband

June 30, 2010

I don’t talk about my husband enough. I know this because I’ve had male colleagues hit on me after months of being acquainted because they still weren’t aware that I was married. I’m trying to work on that. Obviously you all know that I’m married, but many of you don’t know a thing about the [...]

June 7, 2010

Ahhh, female submission. I don’t know if any other biblical issue has been more prominently featured in my spiritual education than female submission. It is arguably the most important feature of my Old Colony Mennonite background, the topic most often highlighted in our sermons, the most fiercely defended biblical precept amongst my extended family, and [...]

Glorious June: A Slow-Down

June 2, 2010

Folks: I love the Interwebs. I really do. I will often tell people that the internet is one of the best things that ever happened to me. That and bangs. I look so much more stylish with bangs. But I have to make a confession: ever since spring hit, I have found the internet largely [...]
