The Joy of Ranking High on the Food Chain.

Last updated on: April 17, 2013 at 5:39 am By Rachel Marie Stone

My kids are proud of me for having written a book, especially when I showed them that their names are mentioned in the acknowledgements. Every time we read a prayer out of my book before eating, they’ll say, “that’s a good one, Mom!” It’s sweet, no doubt about that. And the other day one of my sons created this drawing as a joke. “Get it, mom? The big one is going to eat the little one with joy! He’s... Read more

Edith Schaeffer and Biblical Womanhood

Last updated on: April 15, 2013 at 7:54 am By Rachel Marie Stone

So I know it’s been out for a while, but I finally got around to reading Kathryn Joyce’s Quiverfull: Inside the Christian Patriarchy Movement, which I found fair, well-researched, and illuminating. In it she names Edith Schaeffer–rightly, I think–as one of the people responsible for the ideal that women shape society via the home, an idea that, of course, goes back deep into the 19th century at least, but one that Edith certainly helped to solidify in the twentieth century....

I’ll Meet You In The Place Where the Stuffed Kitties Are Real

Last updated on: April 12, 2013 at 6:31 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Mrs. S. died a few months ago. She was 92, although woe betide you should you have mentioned that fact to her; she maintained to the end that she was 91. And who are we to argue? She also maintained that the stuffed cats in her room were real. This was not actually a point of contention, but a matter of settled fact, one that I, and, mercifully, most of her caregivers at the nursing home, entered into in all... Read more

Four Reviews of “Eat With Joy: Redeeming God’s Gift of Food”

Last updated on: April 11, 2013 at 4:04 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I don’t mean to be so book-promo-oriented, but it really makes my dad happy to read positive reviews of my new book and I like to make my dad happy. Because why wouldn’t I want to make him happy? Just look at the stuff he creates and sends to my kids? (This is only the cover!) First, here’s a post from my friend Michelle Van Loon. I like how she started out by explaining how mealtime wasn’t much of a... Read more

Thinking of My Friends

Last updated on: April 10, 2013 at 8:20 am By Rachel Marie Stone

We’re back safe and sound from our trip to South Africa, but my mind and heart are very busy pleading to God for mercy for my dear friend Shelley, whose husband went missing during a solo hike on Skye (in Scotland.) If you are a praying person, please offer a prayer for Oliver and Shelley and all those who love them. Thanks. Read more

Some Kind Words

Last updated on: April 4, 2013 at 4:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

I’m anticipating a few days of limited internet access, so don’t be alarmed if this space stays quiet for a bit. (You can always peruse the archives. See? I’ve even organized the recipes and the ‘skinny toys’ posts for you!) Meanwhile, other people have had some good words to say about my book that I’d like to share: Peter Enns interviewed me at his blog and wrote: This isn’t a “guide to healthy eating” but a book that redeems food–it...

Mom: Comfort Where There is No Other Comfort

Last updated on: April 3, 2013 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

It’s my mom’s birthday today, and I’m 8,000 miles away from her. But it doesn’t feel that far, because my mom calls or emails me every day. And unlike those ungrateful children in Rent (remember Rent!?) I don’t screen my calls and roll my eyes when it’s my mom. Come to think of it, I’m probably more likely to screen my calls and roll my eyes if it’s not my mom. But don’t let that discourage you from calling me.... Read more

Knowing Jesus in the Breaking of the Bread

Last updated on: April 2, 2013 at 2:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

Two friends walk along the road, speaking quietly to one another. They are hopeless. They are sad. When Jesus was alive, they were full of hope; he would redeem their nation, set them free. But Jesus is dead, and with him, all their hopes. A stranger appears. “What have you two been talking about?” he asks. The friends look at each other, and then at the stranger. What else would they be talking about? For three days, all that anyone has... Read more

Evangelicals Divided Over NYC’s Move Toward Government-Funded Rat Contraceptives

Last updated on: April 1, 2013 at 1:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

The National Institutes of Health has just given the company Senestech a grant of $1.1 million as its owner, Loretta Mayer, works to figure out a way to get New York City subway rats on the Pill. Subway rats, says Mayer, can find solid food easily, but are constantly on the search for liquids. Paul Jones, the manager of NYC transportation authority trash disposal, notes that rats, like most New Yorkers, crave caffeine; their favorite drinks, according to Jones, include... Read more
