Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves… Continue reading The Heart of a Single Woman’s Home: Hospitality Outside the Home (part 5 of 8)

The Heart of a Single Woman’s Home: Hospitality in the Home (blog series part 4 of 8)
Houses filled with love have elastic walls. Practicing hospitality can be a daunting task. One of my biggest temptations in practicing hospitality is to focus on the ideal and pursue that. The food should be of this variety and arranged a certain way. The house should be clean, mopped, dusted, and vacuumed. The trap set… Continue reading The Heart of a Single Woman’s Home: Hospitality in the Home (blog series part 4 of 8)

Bright Hope for Tomorrow: A Teacher’s Sunday Night

It's the day before the start of a new week and a repeat of writing more lesson plans, grading more papers, observations, testing, and, heaven-forbid, another fire drill.

To act with God's love, Because His love is perfect and steadfast and endures forever; But my love is tainted by self-pride and guarded… Continue reading Perspective
