It hit me, perhaps, because my son (who just turned thirteen years old!) was working on his science fair project over Christmas break. He had been encouraged to select a simple, repeatable experiment and to isolate the components so that there was only one variable. And as I sat reflecting over this year, I remembered something I heard or read…
Some people readily promote all kinds of products and books (and that’s great), but I’m way too picky, and I hate the idea of coming across like a slick scamming salesman. That is NOT the case here. Comparison Girl has personally benefited me, and I’m convinced you will benefit too, to the point that I don’t mind if this slightly…
The irony is not lost on me: dropping off the face of the earth midstream through a series is NOT a conventional example of excellence. August was the last time you heard from me, and April was the last time we explored this anxiety-busting series that I’m calling “Yeah, Whatever” from Philippians 4:8. We have considered the words true, noble,…
When I was in second grade I spent my recesses searching the playground’s pea gravel for agates. These rocks were precious finds but not so uncommon that I didn’t often travel home with weighted coat pockets. I collected rocks at the beach and occasionally at a souvenir shop. I had a clear jar of interesting river rocks filled with water…
If you are just joining us, welcome to the Yeah, Whatever series as we study Philippians 4:8 in a way you may have never before! (You can read the first and second posts in the series HERE and HERE.) I’ve benefitted reflecting on specific things that are true and noble. I tell you what, though, I struggled to find something…
Ok, “true dat” isn’t exaaaactly how I’d say it. But it worked well for the first title of what I’m calling the Yeah, Whatever series. 😉 The idea sprang from a Desiring God article my husband forwarded to me called Whatever is Lovely: How to Overcome Pressing Distractions by Jon Bloom (Desiring God article). Guess he thought I was getting…
Free Printable for You Once upon a time ago, I asked you to vote on your favorite quotes from two posts celebrating two years of blogging here at Look Up Sometimes. I tallied your responses, created a printable, and FINALLY, I’m sharing it with you! You’ll also find it on the Free Tools page so you can come back anytime…
I stumbled, completely by accident, onto the perfect song today, and I’m so glad I did! In lieu of a post this week, I’m sharing this song with you called Look Up Child by Lauren Daigle. If you need a break from the storms of life, hide in Him, and listen to the song! I copied the lyrics from azlyrics.com…
“Ready… Set… GOAT!!!” My nine year old laughed hysterically watching Nana’s false start to an impromptu family game of Birthday Limbo. (Apparently, this version came with equally impromptu rules.) There were several other false starts accompanied with bursts of laughter and good humored grandparents. That’s what this post has felt like trying to write – many false starts. Thank you…
Hello friend, last week I accidentally lied to you. I said we were going to have a two-part post, but it turned into three! So if you missed Part 1 of The Art of Living (it’s #9 in the Nourish series) head on over and then come back for today’s Part 2. And stay tuned for Part 3 next week!…
