Because everyone loves a good story
Grace Like Manna
There are two types of people in the world: those who procrastinate and those who work ahead. Most of the time I am solidly in the second category. But you know what? Life doesn’t always work that way. And I’m learning that grace isn’t doled out in advance either.
An End and a Beginning
Praise the Lord: Eva is home!
It’s the end of one set of prayers and worries and the beginning of another. See what God is doing in the life of our tiny Sparrow!
When Spring Is Underground
Did you know we just passed the Vernal Equinox on March 20? Now the days will be getting longer and warmer. Praise the Lord! But where I’m at in Michigan, we still have some 20-degree nights in the forecast. That doesn’t seem too festive. It’s hard to celebrate spring when you’re shivering.
The same holds true when you pray for a miracle. See what God’s been up to in the life of my littlest love in the NICU.
My Double Life
Past Watchful Dragons has been MIA for a few weeks. Maybe life was busy enough that you didn’t notice, or maybe you sat sullenly staring at your screen, wondering when I’d return.
Well, I’ve returned, but things aren’t back to normal. If you’d like to know about the double life I’ve been leading, then read on, my friend. Read on.

C.S. Lewis: The Death of Words
Do you ever mourn the loss of English as it once was? Words like “basic” and “extra” do this for me.
Today’s post escalates from a snowball to an avalanche, but C.S. Lewis and I both feel strongly about the preservation of vocabulary. Brace yourself, and then take a look.
(Bonus points if you’ve read George Orwell’s 1984.)
Something Worth Writing About
Ever feel like you’re just plumb out of inspiration? I sure do. At times like those, where do you turn? To TV? Books? Ice cream?
One of the most wonderful sources of inspiration is actually just outside your front door, so strap on your hiking boots and join me for an adventure in the wild and in writing!
(You’ll also see loads of pictures from my trips to Yosemite National Park, and I know you won’t want to miss out on those views!)
Hot Off the Press: The Edge of Everywhen
This week, Past Watchful Dragons offers you a bonus post! I’ve recently read a brand-spanking-new book called The Edge of Everywhen, by A.S. Mackey, and I wanted to tell you all about it!
