“Hail, Aslan” and Divisions in our Country Today

Last updated on: November 12, 2020 at 1:36 pm By Cara Meredith

As you may already know, we’re a family of readers. I’m a reader. My husband’s a reader (although he’s sure to give equal playing time to football, basketball and baseball, depending on the season). And our sons are becoming readers, each at their own level, sometimes by themselves and oftentimes by listening to Mama and Dada read. While James still relishes in reading picture books to the boys, I get super excited to dive into chapter books with the two... Read more

A little more kindness, a little less madness

Last updated on: October 20, 2020 at 4:36 pm By Cara Meredith

Lately, I haven’t been able to get these words out of my head: “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and... Read more
