3 Ways Get Your Fill

Loving God

3 Ways Get Your Fill

We live in a time of plenty, a land of plenty. Most of us have more than we need. We have First World Problems...like trying to figure out how to limit screen time, like having more clothes than coat hangers, or like getting a full fat, instead of a skinny, vanilla latte ~ I mean, how can I really ... read more

Living in the “&”

Prodigal

Living in the “&”

This is my year for figuring out what it means to be Prodigal, in the good way.  I want to be extravagantly generous with my time and my heart...and I have a long way to go.  I get so stressed sometimes over silly things, like: Too many things on my to-do list make my brain foggy and then, if I ... read more

Finding the Middle

Prodigal

Finding the Middle

Image Copyright: / 123RF Stock Photo My word for the year is Prodigal; it means wasteful extravagance.  So often I tend to extremes. I can be very wasteful if I am not careful, like the younger brother in Luke 15:11-32.  But if I am too careful, I end up stingy and mean, like the older brother.  I ... read more

The Meaning of Prodigal

Prodigal

The Meaning of Prodigal

When I was young, I knew the meaning of the word from the context of the parable; I knew that prodigal meant wasteful, like the younger son in Luke 15:11-32. To be prodigal means to act in a lavishly extravagant manner, with no care for the cost. Most English translations of the Bible do not use the ... read more

New Year, New Start: One Word

Prodigal

New Year, New Start: One Word

I used to think it meant lost.  Like that Lost Son from Jesus' parable in Luke 15:11-32.  That son, who seemed to have it pretty good at home, decided that the grass was greener on the other side.  You know this story, I am sure.  But, for the sake of completeness...he chucked it all, asking his ... read more

Prodigal Confessions and Reconciliation

Family Wisdom

Prodigal Confessions and Reconciliation

From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who ... read more

Words Are Powerful, But “I’m Sorry” Isn’t Enough…

Family Wisdom

Words Are Powerful, But “I’m Sorry” Isn’t Enough…

Have you ever apologized to someone and…The. Words. Just. Fell. Flat? Sometimes we feel it keenly, that our apology doesn’t make things right. Painful. We strive to teach our kids this practice too: to apologize. But often, the forced apology doesn’t really make things right; it fuels the argument ... read more

Hi! I’m Britta

I'm a work in progress. Lately, I'm trying to learn how to plant deep roots after a lifetime of military moves. Planting seems to be slow work for me!

Life on the move. Chronic and serious illnesses. Marriage struggles. At times, it has been hard to see God's goodness. But I’ve learned that CURATING the GOOD (collecting evidence of God's goodness and putting it on display)—this is a life-giving practice. Won't you join me? Read More…
