Rededicating Ourselves to the Podcast plus Links and Stuff

Last updated on: November 1, 2021 at 9:13 am By Anne Kennedy

It is a bright, clear, cold day (finally) in the Northeast and we’ve rousted ourselves after all our travels to do a moderately lengthened podcast about where we’ve been, why we’ve been so bad at podcasting, what we should think about eating for Reformation Day even though it’s already gone by, and how it’s better to leave your house for a week in the hands of basically catechized Christian children than pagan ones. It’s everything you could expect, really, so... Read more

There Is Something About Us

Last updated on: October 28, 2021 at 6:42 am By Anne Kennedy

Is it Thursday? It is, but I only have one thing because I’ve got to rush along. This is tragic, epic, very well written, and fascinating: Sophia — a 19-year old communications student who goes to a small school in British Columbia, and declined to give her last name for privacy reasons — was just approved for sterilization by her doctor in Canada. She told me she has a great relationship with her parents who are “super chill” about her... Read more

The New York Times Tries To Figure Out What An Evengelical Is

Last updated on: October 27, 2021 at 6:52 am By Anne Kennedy

Well, even though I am in Florida looking at very large birds (that’s not why I’m here, I’m just distracted by them all…is there a bird hashtag on insta? birdsofinsta?) I did get lured into reading that NY Times piece that came out yesterday about evangelicalism. Of course, the thing felt like clickbait, and then I clicked, so that’s too bad. I should have been high-minded enough to ignore it. But I am only mortal, I have feet of clay... Read more

Anne Complains About Stuff On Friday

Last updated on: October 22, 2021 at 10:29 am By Anne Kennedy

I kid you not, if you type ‘Friday’ into Unsplash, this is what comes up. It’s the end of the week, whether any of us want to admit it or not. One I’m late this morning because I just wasted an hour whacking at my own hair. Everyone in this house is in dire need of a haircut–something I do for others, but generally refrain from doing to myself–because I’ve been putting it off and off. I do like cutting... Read more

Three Things on Thursday

Last updated on: October 21, 2021 at 7:13 am By Anne Kennedy

As usual, I didn’t mean not to blog yesterday, I slept long past my ordinary time, which was good, because then I wrote something else that’s been hanging over my head. This business of missing days blogging here and there is very grievous unto me, but is probably just as well what with the internet being full up of too much stuff anyway. If it is God striking me down, I am fine with that. Anyway, I have some interesting... Read more

Self-Podcasting Podcast and Links

Last updated on: October 18, 2021 at 9:46 am By Anne Kennedy

Autumn Last Year The leaves outside my window right now are still green and our big front tree has gone a sort of gentle yellow, but not nice enough to bother taking any pictures. I’ve given up on autumn, I just don’t care anymore. I’m going to do “self-autumn” which is where I just don’t care about anything. In celebration of this momentous decision we’ve done a decently lengthed podcast explaining why we didn’t record one last week, and why... Read more

7 Excessively Speedy Takes

Last updated on: October 15, 2021 at 8:34 am By Anne Kennedy

I knew this month would be a rush and it is: One We finally celebrated Matt’s 50th birthday yesterday only to turn around and dash into celebrating the now 14-year-old’s birthday. As in, she is turning 14 today, so that’s sort of epic. Let’s see, that makes the ages of all my children something like 19, 17, 15, 14, 11 (12 in 12 days), and 10. Is this why I feel like I’m running my legs off? Tragically, my house... Read more

Meditation Upon the Death of a Pet

Last updated on: October 14, 2021 at 7:52 am By Anne Kennedy

Ash, as I like best to remember him. My Death of a Pet piece is out from the paywall over at equip.org. Enjoy! “Swoosh.” That was the sound of a mighty rushing wind and suddenly my golden, syrup-laden pancake disappeared in the twinkling of an eye. Gone — devoured by one of the most clever, captivating pets a child could ever love, the Common Genet, a lithe, elegant creature with big eyes, spots and stripes, enormous ears, retractable claws, and a long...

That’s Not How Any Of This Works

Last updated on: October 13, 2021 at 9:14 am By Anne Kennedy

Well, I’m very sorry that I keep accidentally taking blogging breaks. It was not at all my intention to fall off the internet for three whole days and miss yet another podcast. But, well, I’m not so young as I was and I can’t seem to push through a lot of the circumstances of life that used to be easily shoved over to one side in the interest of the morning blog. Things like the deep discouragement of Matt about... Read more

7 Takes: Mostly Birthday Edition

Last updated on: October 8, 2021 at 9:21 am By Anne Kennedy

Matt would not eat this, of course, even if it were still his birthday. Well goodness, a whole week has gone swiftly by. Let’s see what we can rustle up. One I did not intend to take off blogging yesterday, but I ended up with a foul and terrible headache in the middle of the night, which left me curled in the fetal position scrolling through google on my phone trying to figure out if I was definitely dying, or...
