The Last Supper
|
Luke 22:7-34 And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this. A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. Luke 22:23-24 ... Read More + |

Christmas Bells
|
I flew into the house loaded with my camera gear, late from a photo session with an unhappy newborn baby. Christmas season is always insanely hectic for family photographers, so I knew that in the middle of it all I needed to protect a little slice of time for our family. I ditched my gear, herded the children into the car, and we set off for our annual... Read More + |

More Than a Sabbath: My Fast from Producing
|
Editor's Note: On Fridays we're hosting a series called More Than a Sabbath, where employees discuss how they've taken, or need to take, a break from otherwise good elements of work. Each post is a response to How to Fast the Other Six Days. The first time I fasted from producing was not by choice. I worked in Human Resources for a large engineering... Read More + |

The Grocery Drop
|
I can hear my husband on the phone with his mom in the other room, and from the conversation fragments I overhear, I know I’ll be squeezing in a trip to the grocery store tomorrow. I mentally reschedule my day as I swallow down my bitterness with the last spoonful of ice cream. “We arranged for Allison to provide some extra help with errands so this... Read More + |

PhotoPlay Gallery: Look Up!
|
For our November PhotoPlay, I challenged you to lie down to gain a different perspective. I appreciated that some of you, like Ann Kroeker (above, top), risked being laughed at by onlookers. Mark Charles (above, middle) showed how perspective can create some truly fascinating images—even with a camera phone. And Tim Miller (above) found a... Read More + |

PhotoPlay: From My Back
|
My brain was full and I needed some time to think. I had come to this place to rest - to retreat - but so far, more had been stirred than settled. Julia’s words from the prior evening lingered in my mind: I lie down there under Orion’s belt until snow melts through my hair to the back of my neck. This is the best thing you ever taught me: to stop Read More + |

Japan: Together We Stand
|
I sat in the tiny hospital room holding my almost-one-year-old squirmy girl, settling into our twelfth hour of visitation in two days. My mother-in-law slept as the latest round of pain medication eased the discomfort from her knee replacement surgery. I felt alone. My husband and I are in our mid-thirties with two young children not yet in school.... Read More + |

Work-Life Balance Doesn't Exist
|
I sat across from my mentor, eagerly awaiting her answer. She laughed. “Tina, you know there’s no such thing as work life balance.” Her answer took me aback. Here was the only female, senior vice-president of a $13.5 billion, Fortune 500 company, happily married to a successful businessman with two small children at home . . . and she had no balance...

Daily Reflection From Laity Lodge
Be Still!
“Be still and know that I am God!” There are few verses in the whole Bible that I need to remember more than this one. Unfortunately, I am wired for anything other than stillness in knowing that God... Read More +
