Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
What is your first thought when you think of the word “exception?”
Do you think it is something special? Something unattainable? A person, place or thing that is out of the ordinary?
If so, then you would be right. Sorta. Ish.
Webster defines exception as “an instance or case not conforming to the general rule.” That makes sense, right?
But what about being an exception in the world? Or even more so… In our walk with Christ?? [Read more…]
Rumor has it… 2012 is coming to an end. (And by rumor, I really mean my iCalendar told me so.)
This has been quite a year~ In one word? Educational. Well, and encouraging. (Ok, I know that’s two words– but hey, that’s the awesome power of the keyboard. I do what I want. Well, within reason. Ish.)
We here in the Knobloch Family are mixing things up a bit this year. Instead of sending out hard copies of printed letters, in envelopes with pictures with full postage, we are going digital. Don’t worry, we are still sending out picture postcards– but we wanted to save on postage and labor, so are trying something a lil new. (Plus it was a compromise of my desire to update our dear friends and family on our lives via full printed letter/picture and my sweet husbands theory of “Can’t we just send out a text message?”) [Read more…]
I am not a huge fan of cleaning.
I mean, I try to keep our house in decent-ish order, as in keeping the dishes contained to their sink/cabinet areas and preventing any accidental science experiments from growing in the back of the fridge.
However, as much as I loathe the day-to-day cleaning experiences, I do occasionally get in a mood to sort, organize and purge. In those moments, nothing can stop me from tearing apart the nearest coat closet or office desk drawer.
As an army family, we move a lot– and when we move, that is the ideal time to clean. And purge. [Read more…]
Ahhh, marriage… Tis so much more than that beautiful white dress, the romance of a honeymoon and those sweet moments of snuggling on the couch.
Marriage also includes challenges, growth, conflict, and on days when all of those things are present, sometimes hamburger helper for supper. [Read more…]
You can tell a lot about someone’s footprints.
No, I don’t mean what type of shoes they wear or what size their feet are. Footprints can often tell us where someone’s been… and perhaps where they are going. [Read more…]
I am kind of a short gal. On a good day, I clock in at five feet, two inches. I know, I know—that’s not exceptionally short, but my height sometimes causes issues when it comes to reaching the top shelf of the pantry or trying to hang a picture that is just out of reach.
Although I might be short in stature, I sure am glad that I worship a really big God.
But even though God is big, mighty and powerful—he still cares about the “small stuff.” [Read more…]
Sometimes in life, we find ourselves tied up in mess.
Perhaps it’s a big mess.
And when we end up in aforementioned life mess, rarely is it “on purpose.”
Actually it reminds me of one of my favorite childhood responses when questioned about why I ate dog food/made my sister stick her tongue to a frozen iron pole/blended up a spatula in a batch of zucchini brownies…
“Um, it was an accident.” [Read more…]
“Sweetheart… HEELLLLLLOOOOOOOO!!!! Ahem. Can you please mute the TV so I can talk to you?”
We live in a society that is consumed with media. Everywhere we look– there’s a TV, computer, phone, iPad, radio waiting to grab our attention.
Don’t get me wrong. Media can be REALLY productive. I mean seriously, this entire ministry is essentially media based.
However, media can also become a time-sucking, heart-focusing idol.
“Wait, wait, wait. An idol? Seriously, Sharita? My TV/phone/computer/iPad?? ” [Read more…]
Happy September, all!
Oh, and Happy Labor Day.
So, here’s the deal. I’m just gonna be straight up with you today. (Actually, I hope I am ALWAYS straight up with you… but today might be straighter than normal. Ha.)
At the beginning of a new month, typically I update you all on my SMART goals for 2012. I’ve been working on this list since January, and asked you to be my accountability partner. [Read more…]
