You probably know this verse: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 … Continue reading

Twas the Night ‘fore the Home Study
Twas the night ‘fore the home study, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse. The bedrooms all ready and done up with care, In hopes that you children soon will be there. The floors have been vacuumed, the tile’s been mopped And improvements to the house have been … Continue reading
He has. He is. He will.
Over Thanksgiving, my family went to go see the second Hunger Games movie. My mother, who is a beacon of pleasantness, spent most of the movie with her hands over her eyes. After the movie, we were talking about the parts that we liked and the parts that we didn’t and my mother remarked that … Continue reading
Guest Post: Lindsey Wallace
This is a welderbeth first. We have a guest blogger today. I’ve known Lindsey since, hmmm, at least 2006. We were a part of a tight knit house church together and we’ve kept in touch over the years, even though we live a few hours apart. She even ran in our half-marathon team last year. … Continue reading
The Big Thaw
I went to Nashville two weeks ago to visit my sister and she basically got the flu the second I landed and felt better the second my plane took off to return to Dallas. Miraculously, I did not catch her bug, although I doted on her like a mother hen and bought the second season … Continue reading

I probably didn’t participate in this activity because 1) I had already combed my hair once that week, 2) it’s highly probable that there wasn’t a dress that I could fit … Continue reading
King Neby and the Three Amigos

Once upon a time, there was a man called King Nebuchadnezzar but everyone called him King Neby because saying his really long name sounds like you sneezed while making up a word…and you have a cold. (Actually, if you called him King … Continue reading
Syrious
I still remember the phone call that I made to my parents in the Spring of 2006. “Mom? Dad? I think I want to go to Syria over Spring Break.” My church was taking a “fact finding” trip and they needed people to go meet with the missionaries there and then come back and get … Continue reading
The Danger of Comfort
I’ve been perusing my old xanga site, where I blogged all through college and the beginning of my marriage. How fun it is to have a record of my thoughts going all the way back to high school (where all my friends blogged at diaryland). I was reading some stories that I had written about … Continue reading
The Wises Go Green
When we went to Colorado, my friend Kara graciously agreed to stay at our house. As I was typing up a list of things for her to know, I realized just how granola we’ve become. That list included little gems such as: – The liquid dish soap is homemade. You have to shake it or … Continue reading
