Today I finished up the wisdom series, or biblical decision-making, at Tapestry.
Your preview:
"When we claim that God told me such-and-such or led me to this-or-that,
we disable the counsel of the community of God, another vital aspect of
wisdom. Who needs others to help if God is in direct communication with
us?"
This post offers how the Holy Spirit and the body of Christ counsel us as we seek to make good decisions.

On my hunt for all things and people creative, artsy, and whimsical, I met Erin Teske, artist extraordinaire and fellow Cheesecake Factory lover. At some point in our cyber (and one real-life meeting), I discovered that she makes and sells Coffee Cuffs. I love these things! I keep mine in my purse, ready to whip out at any Starbucks. And I've gotten more compliments on it than the Queen of Sheba got in her heyday.
Erin agreed to share with us her secret of the Coffee Cuff.
Supplies:

Here's the thing. I want to hate Disney--all the commercialization and the take-over-the-world-ization. (Seriously, just because it's a Disney movie doesn't mean it should be a Broadway musical. The world didn't need Lion King on stage.)
But I can't help myself. I loved it. I love what it does for families. So, in no particular order, here are my top 10 favorite things about Disney:
8. The bathrooms--you can't sneeze without hitting one, which is great when there with your nine-year-old ... Read Full Story
Little by little, I'm re-integrating myself into normal life (which includes my cyber life). We'll reacquaint ourselves. I have so much to tell you about the arts conference I attended a few weeks ago and my Disney trip. And I have all sorts of special stuff lined up--some great guest bloggers with all sorts of creative tips and an interview with Josh Havens of The Afters (only half of which can you actually see since we decided to do the interview in his backyard as Apollos retired his carr...

While I was in college in the small town of Waco (known for the compound incident, although technically, that happened in Central, not Waco, and yes, I did visit the site along with the original Dr. Pepper bottling plant before graduation), two large movie theaters came to town (making the one, miniscule theater with sticky floors--I once lost a flip-flop on those floors--a dollar theater).

Today's is more upbeat. Appropriately entitled "Let's Dance," I might have broken into a little bit of dance in my office to this sound.
Hat tip to Erin for sharing this with me!
Psst--If you find this post interesting and think others might as well, would you mind taking a minute to stumble it? It would mean a lot to me.

Refractions: A Journey of Faith, Art, and Culture collects essays written by Makoto Fujimura to artists from 2004 to 2006. Living in post-9/11 New York City, Fujimura challenges artists: How does your art recognize the brokenness around you? How does your art offer hope and redemption in the midst of it?
I began this book months ago. The essays demand to be read contemplatively, even devotionally. I savored it morsel by morsel, letting each piece roll on my tongue, slide down my throat. As... Read Full Story
