Because everyone loves a good story
Oh, Taste and See
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, friends! The gratefulness doesn’t have to end here. Psalm 34 reminds us that each new day is a fresh chance to praise God. Take a look at these verses and exalt the Lord with me!
Mom Guilt
Ah, parenthood–the hardest, most rewarding, hardest, most entertaining, hardest job I’ve ever done. Let’s face it, folks–raising little sinners is hard work for big sinners.
At times I find myself frustrated about how the day is going, and at those same times I wonder if I’ll regret my frustration when the kids are grown. Is there a solution to this conundrum? Read on for a scary (relatable) peek into my musings.
Lord of Late Summer: A Poem
While I may be a little sad that summer is coming to a close, there’s still so much to rejoice in. I was reminded of this on a bike ride through the woods a few weeks ago. Creation’s symphony reaches a crescendo in late summer, and I tried to capture a few stanzas myself.
(Ten points to Gryffindor if you take note of the musical motif throughout the poem!)
I hope you celebrate the close of this beautiful season with as much gusto as a grasshopper. And that’s saying quite a bit.
A Contrast of Classics: Leading Ladies
And so it begins.
Today I wax opinionated about dear Elizabeth Bennet and her aggravating opposite, Emma Woodhouse. Lest you begin whacking your computer in defiance of my negativity, rest assured that I’ll (try to) make everything as fair as possible in my next post.
But for today you can go eat worms, Emma.
A Contrast of Classics: Pride and Prejudice and Emma
Jane Austen. The very name calls to mind quills and parchment, corsets and manners.
You may be surprised that I’m writing about such a mild-mannered author and such a non-geeky topic. Well, consider me classical because my upcoming mini-series is all about Jane. Specifically, it’s about the jarring differences between Pride and Prejudice and Emma.
So put on your bonnets and grab your riding crops, folks. It’s Austen time.
Make America Wild Again
We’ve all succumbed to it before.
The siren song of the sofa. The lullaby of the La-Z-Boy. The trance of the TV. But while we’re enjoying some comatose amusement, what are we missing just outside our front doors…and beyond?
A little excursion (or a grand adventure) could be just what we need.
PWD Goes Tri-Weekly(ish)
Have you noticed that Past Watchful Dragons has been conspicuously missing from your inbox recently? Oops, sorry about that. Read on to discover why I’m officially (even if it’s temporarily) switching to tri-weekly blog posts.
