Glimpses

A new issue of Glimpses comes out tomorrow. It features an interview with Andy Crouch (author of Culture Making) and amazing photography by Cinde Rawn (I'd like to spend a day or two seeing the world through her eyes).

For those of you who aren't subscribed but would like to be, you can sign-up on the handy-dandy link to your right. You'll get a free copy of a Bible study tool using some literary structures to understand stories of the Bible.

I should be a town crier. (My husband tells me I cry enough.)

December's issue of Glimpses goes out tomorrow. This issue has an interview with the band, willowfair, a band I discovered through NoiseTrade. It also has artwork by David Blow. The meditation this month, fittingly enough, is on the Advent season and creativity.

November's Artuality will be up on Wednesday. Art has been a shaping force in my life. Through art, I encounter God, am challenged to think in new ways, and see new perspectives. Art influences my spirituality, my art, and my life. Because of this, I started Artuality, a monthly festival celebrating how art shapes us.

Here we are, approaching the beginning of a new month.

(Some of us are still in mourning from the end of the Olympics.)

But we all know what the beginning of a new month means.

Glimpses!

This month, I have an interview with, story of, and art by Makoto Fujimura. I also have a blurb on worshipping creatively in your Church. You can sign up on the sidebar.

Also, ready for the big announcement?

(No, Mom, I'm not pregnant.)

Ah, yes. I know you're so excited, and you just can't hide it. You're about to lose control.

I'm back in Texas, land of hot, hot, hot. I had the best time in Jersey. There might have been a few tears when I landed in Dallas, but those were quickly eclipsed by being with my husband again. I missed that man.

More words and images on Jersey later.

I started a new book last week! Writing the first few pages helped deteriorate the fear crippling me. I stalled and stalled knowing that what comes out on the page will never be what's in my head. It'll never be good enough.

I have to write anyway.

With that in mind, here's a peek into my life:

This month, I have all sorts of fun stuff for you.
