Escape From our Echo Chamber

July 1, 2018September 12, 2018 by Kimberly
Escaping Your Echo Chamber: If you only listen to one side then that side will always seem right.

If there is one thing I’ve noticed on Facebook and Social Media, it’s that too many people (…and I’m guilty too), live in our own little echo chamber, where we refuse to consider all of the facts and all of the sides. What do I mean? Well, I have friends who would identify as liberal, …

Why Works Matter (It’s not What You Think)

January 9, 2018February 22, 2018 by Kimberly
Why Works Matter (It's not What You Think)

How we live, as Christians, matters. Why our good works matter, however, is not what you probably are thinking. Yes, Jesus calls us to obey Him. But He also died for us because He knows just how impossible it is for us to be perfect. I was thinking about our good works as Christians again …

Free Knowing My God Bible Study and Notebook on the character and attributes of God

One successful topical Bible Study project that we’ve done as a family (and individuals in our family) is a study of the character and attributes of God. Most of this study into the character and attributes of God was done via a project for my teen daughters’ Sunday School class, called the “Knowing My God” …

Understanding the Appeal of Legalism

Understanding the appeal of legalism and how to overcome it

Do you ever think about your younger self sometimes? I do. I often shake my head, and wonder, “What was I thinking?” I was contemplating this recently again, as this topic came up in private discussion. Then my thoughts drifted towards wondering why we make certain choices. What is it that makes things like legalism and …

Living Like Christ, and Other Hard Things (Part 2)

Living Like Christ and Other Hard things, Part 2

A few days ago, I wrote a post about unplugging. Sometimes, on this walk of faith, we’re on as Christians, we need to just turn off the news. Yes, stick our heads in the sand, if you will. Tune out of anything that inspires the unchristlike character in us. So, in the real world, I had …

How to Resist Walking in Fear

October 18, 2016July 23, 2017 by Kimberly

I have a friend who has always said this one simple line that stuck with me. “Fear is a cruel taskmaster.” Indeed. I suppose you start to notice patterns more after you’ve been around for a few decades. I’m nearing birthday number 47, so I’ve seen the reality of this truth. The Manipulation of Fear …

Actually, Kids are Expensive, not just Lifestyles

Actually Kids are Expensive, not just lifestyles

“Children aren’t Expensive, Lifestyles are!” Have you ever heard some well-meaning knucklehead (usually with young children) say that? You may have even heard this knucklehead say that. Yeah, me. I used to say stupid things like that. There’s quite a bit that I used to say and write about that I now look at and think, …

3 Thoughts on the Fine art of Treading Water

Many of us have had those moments, haven’t we? Seasons in our lives where life becomes so overwhelming for one reason or another, and it feels like we’re barely hanging on…seasons when treading water is the greatest accomplishment. I’m reflecting a bit as I come to the one year anniversary of the car accident that …

The Blessings of Generosity

The Blessings of Generosity

The other day, I was sharing my thoughts on having a Personal Mission Statement on my other website, Thoughts and Designs. Some may think such things as mission statements and goal setting removes the spontaneity from life. In fact, for me, anyway, it’s quite the opposite. I’ve found that if I do not plan for …
