Joy and a Vacuum
by Jennifer Shipman | August 25, 2017 | Joy, Producing Fruit | 0 Comments
Does anyone really like to vacuum? I’m told people do. I can’t understand it personally. It’s not completely loathsome but it certainly doesn’t bring me joy. I can’t say I look forward to vacuuming day. (Which, truthfully, is whenever the dust bunnies start to breed and the crumbs grow new crops.) So, in our house this is a chore for The Man…

Last week I talked about nagging, and how very harmful it is. But how do we break the ugly cycle of nagging? How do we live peace?

She said that her friends don’t want to be her friends anymore and they don’t want to play with her. Naturally, we were just a tad concerned.

When Less is Not More
by Jennifer Shipman | March 10, 2018 | Faithfulness, Growing, Producing Fruit, Purpose, Seeking God, With Your Time | 1 Comment
I intentionally avoid the news. Too much bad nearly breaks me – I’m one of those highly-sensitive types. But the news still finds me. With every school shooting or police officer death or racial-tension-fueled hate crime, my heart breaks, and I feel so small. So small in a big, big world full of ugly. Too small to be of any account…
