Spicy Tasty Pork

A tweaked (and delicious) recipe

One of the things I appreciate about Internet community is recipe sharing. My family eats much better because I’m online. Generally, if a lot of people like a recipe, it’s a good bet that it’s worth trying.

Many were raving about Slow-Cooker Green Chili Pork Tacos recently, and once I tried it, I had to try it again. And again. And again.

This recipe is easy; basically, you cook pork in a slow cooker... READ MORE

The Husband Can

the stranger must not

I shared this on Twitter last week and enough people seemed to find it as funny as I do that I thought I’d share it here in case anyone needs a quick laugh.

Miss Manners on the correct way to ask a woman if she is pregnant: enjoy!


Asperger Awareness

Was he on the spectrum, or just nerdy?

There’a an interesting article in the New York Times today written by a man who was (briefly) diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome in his late teens. Benjamin Nugent, author of American Nerd: The Story of My People, writes that when he was 17, he was judged to “fit the bill” of Asperger’s based on the diagnostic criteria.

And then, he grew up and moved to the big city and suddenly all of his issues sort... READ MORE

On Fire for Jesus

so inspiring

I might not be called to minister to orphans in Uganda, but this video has me motivated to live out my own vocation to the fullest. Who can I be Jesus to today?


Series Love

What are your favorite book-sets?

Do you ever get asked what your favorite book is?

For me, that’s a hard question. Pick a favorite? Out of the many, many wonderful stories that have been written and published? ONE favorite book?

Nope, can’t do it.

But one of the things that I always think about when I try to come up with an answer is this: my favorite books are not single books, they’re series. (Serieses?)

I get attached to the people... READ MORE

Listen to Robyn Lee!

With Pat Gohn!

I was thrilled when I heard that my good friend, colleague, and Faith & Family blogger, the rockin’ Robyn Lee was a recent guest on the awesome Pat Gohn’s awesomely amazing podcast, Among Women.

Did that sentence sound enthusiastic enough? Because I really do love these two women and I really got a lot out of their conversation as well.

Since the Faith & Family podcast is on a bit of a hiatus while Lisa Hendey is busy globe-trotting, I thought I should highlight this little gem for our podcast-hungry readers.

Take some time to enjoy this thoughtful conversation (also on iTunes—episode 122). I was so impressed with what these two women shared about encountering Christ in everyday living. I promise you will come away blessed for having listened!
