Tetelestai = Your bill is paid in full.

Tetelestai - Paid in Full

I vividly recall my third grade teacher admonishing us with, “Cakes are done, people are finished.” It’s why when someone tells me, “I’m done,” I silently respond, “Actually, you’re finished.”  But even that isn’t necessarily clear, is it? Finished is used in many situations, including competitions, meals, work, preparation, and people. In the latter case, […]

Even the strong need water...

We almost gave up, but we decided to try another vegetable garden this year despite last year’s failures. All the tomatoes had some sort of rot on them and our beans never got past infancy.  The only successful crop were the cantaloupes, which basically took over the whole garden but did give us six healthy […]

We borrowed a car and moved into a furnished apartment that was graciously provided rent-free by a wonderful church. Our first few days were such a whirlwind, only a few key […]

Assumptions are the termites of relationship - Henry Winkler

I recently visited my college for the first time since graduating 20 years ago. It brought back a flood of memories, from the all-day drawing classes to graduating on the lawn and everything in between. One of my earliest college memories happened in one of the few classes I took in an auditorium. Everyone was […]

Count it all joy (a.k.a. each week it sucks a little less)

February 6, 2015 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

James 1:2-4

Last week I wrote about how much transition sucks. Many people responded to encourage us, including a personal trainer in Florida. She’s currently working with a guy who is particularly out of shape. So they came up with a mantra to help keep him going: Each week it sucks a little less. Sounds about right. We’ve now […]

This goodness—the idea that God is incapable of anything that is not inherently good—should be a life vest wrapped around my every word, thought, and deed. Yet, the idea, “this isn’t right” feels like an undercurrent always capable of pulling me into the depths of despair.
