I've learned and written a lot about Sabbath the last year or so (like here and here).  However, it's a concept that keeps coming up again in conversation a lot lately.  It can easily seem like an out of date practice, or something only the "crazy" religious people follow.

Nothing gets heavier over time than a chip on my shoulder. Pr.19:11 It is kind of crazy to think… Continue reading What if we decided… {Day 3 – 31 Days of Intentionality}

Here are a couple things though I learned about intentionality though: - Often being intentional with relationships… Continue reading A New Habit {31 Days of Intentionality – Day 2}

So here we are, the start of a new month. As I read through some blogs I follow today, I was reminded that all across the blogosphere October is known for being a chance for people to focus on one topic for 31 days. Because I have very much enjoyed the focus and the challenge… Continue reading 31 Days of Intentionality
