We are currently suffering a miscarriage of the sweet baby we knew of for just a few weeks. The sorrow is deep and keen, but the comfort and provision we have already felt from our local body is amazing and humbling. We give thanks, for God’s steadfast love endures forever!

It is easily recognized that homemaking and motherhood are full of mundane tasks that must be done again and again to fend off chaos. These are good and noble things to do, but can of course be discouraging, since they are never done. Pursuing beauty is an encouragement. 1/

The brilliantly awful thing about #ShinyHappyPeople is how many conservative Christian women will watch it, fall for the emotional equivocation of abuse with things like homeschooling and modesty. Abuse of x does not make x evil. Don’t take the bait.

In fact, children ought to be highly considered when planning your entire ceremony. Want young adults that *want* to get married? Stop the two hour ceremonies, make it pretty, and make sure there’s some yummy, hearty food for the boys to enjoy. It’s a community event, people!

Why I Knit Today is my Annie Grooke’s birthday. For the uninitiated, that’s how I chose to say Auntie Brooke. When I was 6, she taught me to knit, using sweaty acrylic yarn, and size 15 aluminum needles. When I was 13, she accepted Christ as her savior. 🧵
