Happy *almost* new year, everyone! I was able to attend a great end-of-year reflection workshop last night from Eileen Campbell-Reed at 3-Minute Ministry Mentor. One of the exercises we did was to list “10 Things I Did that Mattered in 2022.” It turns out I did some stuff. Like adopting a rule of life and…
Hello, Spacious Faith friends. I have been providing content on this blog since 2010! Many of you have read my theological ramblings and my snarky denominational commentary; you have used my words for worship and in your own spiritual practices. I am deeply honored that my words have been part of your lives and I…
I know it’s a day late, but I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas-in-July. My gift to you is an updated blog site with NO ADS! (Those things are sooo annoying.) Enjoy! While Christmas still seems a long ways away, Advent will be here before we know it! And it’s only six weeks…
We have been in our new home for about two months now, and an introduction to the space is long overdue. Ryan and I have taken to calling our 3.3 acres a “ranchette,” and we have lots of plans for future gardens, paths, arbors, native prairie grass, a fountain, a pond, maybe even a gazebo.…

But it wasn’t the sculptures themselves that most impressed me. It was this little bit of information from the beginning of the article: “The hobby first…

I’ve become a contributor to a few great web sites: Mennonite Weekly Review Huffington Post Christian Century TextWeek Liturgy Link I’ve developed creative worship, retreat,…
Yes, the three extra eyeballs are new, along with the antennae. But those are temporary. The cool Christian Century Blog badge to the right will be staying! I’m honored to be in the company of so many other thoughtful, faithful writers. Thanks to you all for reading!
I just finished indexing the worship-related material on the blog. If you are looking for something related to a certain scripture, occasion, or topic, just look on the index page. At least I will be able to find my own stuff now, and maybe it will be helpful for you as well. Have a blessed…
I pray you all had a blessed Christmas day, and that you continue to celebrate Jesus with joy! For Christmas, my husband gave me the domain name “spaciousfaith.com”–and he did all the legwork to connect it to my blog. I realize that this is not particularly exciting for most folks, but I get a kick…
I am a short woman–“petite” if you want to be polite about it. And until I bore a child I was also pretty skinny. So I guess I’m just used to things being roomy. Rolling up sleeves, cinching waists, shirt tails billowing behind me in the breeze. I’m not quite claustrophobic, but I do appreciate…
