A importância das tradições natalinas
O que vem à sua cabeça quando você ouve a palavra “tradição”? A famosa caçarola da sua tia-avó? Abrir um único presente na véspera de Natal? Assistir àquele filme assustador do Rudolph em animação com bonecos de argila? (Sabe... aquele em que o duende quer ser dentista?) A maioria das nossas famílias tem alguma...

Renascimento ou perseguição? Preparando-se para a perseguição
This has been quite a week, has it not? Or heck, this has been quite a year. Even the weather is rebelling. I’m sitting outside in short sleeves and flip flops, and I’m hot… in Iowa… in November. John is usually snow blowing the driveway by now. (Not that I’m...
Cuties: 5 lições que perdemos completamente na nossa cultura de #CancelNetflix (E não, não estamos endossando Cuties)

Criando um legado de oração
I find myself in an odd stage of motherhood — both of my sons are young career adults; one is married; I’m not yet a grandmother. It’s sort of an in-between time. I feel as close to, and as far away from, motherhood as the miles (2 and 380) my sons are from me. By all...
Confissões de um ex-cristão sensível
Back when most of us were still in diapers, there was a trial that made some buzz on the eastern Tennessee nightly news. A parent had been flipping through her children’s classroom readers when some of the material made her conservative Spidey senses tingle. No, it...
