The Pursuit of Enough: Vol 1 Can you possibly organize your ENFP life?

Last updated on: March 19, 2014 at 12:26 pm By michaboyett

I had a breakdown freak-out sobfest last week. I feel like if you’re gonna cry, go hard or go home. So the sobfest included my slamming my fists into the couch, standing up, screaming, “Don’t laugh at me!” at my husband and then stomping to my office with the intent of slamming the door until I realized my kids were sleeping so I just flipped off the light switch with as much fierce fervor as I could muster. (I... Read more

Last updated on: January 22, 2013 at 3:13 pm By michaboyett

Megan Tietz owns such command of language and knows just how to use gentleness to guide her readers to the good truth. This woman has a lot going on right now. (For details check out her blog.)

Thankful Tuesday: MLK Edition

Last updated on: January 22, 2013 at 8:37 am By michaboyett

I’m grateful that August learned about skin in science last Friday which led to a sweet family conversation about how wonderful it is that everyone’s skin is unique. I’m also thankful that my son still doesn’t know about “white” skin and “black” skin. (Aren’t those the craziest, least descriptive words to use for our skin tones???) I agree much more with August’s assessment that his skin is blonde and some kids have light brown skin and some have dark brown... Read more

The Spiritual Practice of Slowness

Last updated on: January 17, 2013 at 7:25 am By michaboyett

I was strangely moved by that almost final scene in the movie Lincoln, when the president walks away, his back to the camera, down the long White House hallway and into the shadows. Of course we, the audience, know Lincoln is walking down that hall for the final time. We know he is on his way to Ford’s Theater and we know what waits for him there. But that’s not what moved me as I watched that scene. What moved... Read more

I’m excited to welcome Seth Haines as our first guest writer in the “One Good Phrase” series.

I know I am the beloved.

Last updated on: January 14, 2013 at 10:50 am By michaboyett

“Home is the center of my being where I can hear the voice that says, ‘you are my beloved in whom I am well pleased.’ Jesus made it clear that the same voice that he heard in the Jordan River and on Mount Tabor can be heard by me. He makes it clear that there is a home with the Father. But if I decide to keep control, if I go out into the world, I will keep running around... Read more

So sorry.) It might be a poem or a quote, just something I’m reading and thinking about. And I’m hoping, something you may be interested in thinking about too. Welcome to my chalkboard… Read more
