Broken: A Tale between Vengeance and Forgiving
Broken: A Tale between Vengeance and Forgiving The film Broken opened its story with a caption New Zealand (1836). The murder of a girl changes the course of history. The astonishing acts of forgiveness that follow bring peace between the warring tribes. The spirit of this story is inspired by hers. From these words alone, we were given a premise that the film’s main theme is the act of forgiving. Main character Logan used to lead a gang called The Mad Bulls. He left them to raise his daughter Tori and settled himself as a boxing coach at a gym. Both of them enjoyed surfing just in time for sunrise. That morning,…

Doing Life with Your Adult Children: “Wear Beige and Keep Your Mouth Shut”
“The first forty years of parenting are always the hardest!” A woman I know was asked at her son’s wedding, “What is the responsibility of the mother of the groom?” She smiled and said, “Wear beige and keep your mouth shut.” She got a chuckle, but it was great advice, especially when it comes… The post Doing Life with Your Adult Children: “Wear Beige and Keep Your Mouth Shut” appeared first on FaithGateway.

When You Crave Things
When I was in college, I remember sitting in the car dealership, asking my dad, “Please dad, please! Can I get this car???” The amazing thing was — my dad wasn’t buying it for me. Somehow, though, I needed his permission. Yet, I was the one walking out of the dealership with a title and a $500 monthly payment on a vehicle. It didn’t matter, I was enthralled. It seemed my whole life was about to change. The car was a convertible. For the first week, I was internally on-fire every time I drove that car. I wondered if people were looking at me. I wondered if I could feel…

Kindred Retreat 2019 and a Fortitude Booklist
Megan was refreshed after a day of listening to three wise women at a one-day retreat…and she brought home another booklist. Note the fairy tale motifs: Three wise women giving counsel. A few weeks ago I drove three rainy wee morning hours to hear Cindy Rollins, Angelina Stanford, and Renee Mathis speak at the CiRCE 2019 Kindred Retreat. I have been impressed with Stanford’s convictions about evidence of Truth in fairy tales and mythology, and was eager to meet her in person. Rollins is known for her Morning Time habits through years of homeschooling her children, and is the author of Mere Motherhood. Mathis is an interesting character: her credentials…
