Days Away [Music Monday]
We moved the bassinet into our bedroom last night. We said it was to get the cats used to the idea – and to train them to stay out of it. But as I settled into bed and turned to look at it, reality hit me. In just a few...

Facebook, Faith and Change
We are creatures of habit. Throughout the week we wake up at the same time (even if we don’t want too), shop at the same stores, drive the same way to work and plan the same things to eat over and over again. When something disrupts our routines we may find ourselves feeling “out of...

This is My Father’s World [Music Monday]
We have gotten to the place when we can feel B-Rowe moving pretty much nonstop. Her favorite time to squirm is right as we are turning in for the night. As we do some Bible reading, listening to music, and a little bit of talking, she becomes quite the wiggle worm. Last night part of...

Thoughts on #Food [#BAD11]
I love food. Before I got pregnant, D & I would spend hours on the weekend planning out our meals for the week and then going to the grocery store to make sure we had all the ingredients. I know this may sound odd … but it was one of our favorite things to do...
Relentlessly Pursuing God
One of my favorite pastors told me once that “Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life” from Psalm 23 has some translation issues. “Follow” implies something rather passive, in many cases. It’s easy to think of this line, particularly given the tone of the psalm, as goodness and mercy...
I Choose Writing
Analytics, page views, average time spent… SEO, themes, plugins… Post on weekdays. Post on weekends. The more you post, the better your blog will be. I’ve spent hours over the last couple of years trying to make Soul Munchies a “great blog.” I’ve read tips, bought books, followed guidelines and joined communities. Every time I...

Bread & Wine [Music Monday]
Growing up, communion didn’t really mean much to me. I could repeat back the lines of the ritual, learned how long my skirts had to be to kneel without feeling awkward, and walk back to my pew without too much guidance from the ushers. We had communion once a month, and that was fine. In...

What Love Really Means [Music Monday]
We all have those times in our lives when we feel unlovable. In fact, there may be more times that we feel unlovable than times when we feel lovable. We face all kinds of trials and tribulations. And sometimes we have one single prayer … it sounds something like the chorus of this song: Dear...

But We’ve Never Done It Before! [Just For Fun]
One of my biggest frustrations with church is that it takes so dang long to get anything done. We talk about an idea over and over again before we decide to actually do anything about it. Don’t get me wrong – I value the insight and opinions of others, but I can just imagine God...

God’s Story, Your Story [#maxlucado giveaway]
Have you ever wondered just how God’s story intersects with your own life? There are so many times when I open the Bible to read God’s word and I end up wondering how in the world it applies to my own life. I know Jesus used parables to make it easier to understand, but sometimes...

In Our Backyard [interview with @nitabelles on #humantrafficking]
That doesn’t happen here does it? Isn’t that mostly overseas? Recently I heard those questions as I was telling someone about my passion for helping victims of human trafficking. As I explained my desire to get more involved, they couldn’t believe I would be able to do anything without picking up and moving far away....
