the one thing worth bottling up

the one thing worth bottling up

One of things I love most about Scripture is the sheer beauty of the imagery it uses sometimes.  Psalm 56:8 has always been one of my favorite verses for exactly that reason: You keep track of all my sorrows.  You have collected all my tears in your bottle.  You have recorded each one in your…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 55): in which we talk about a lot (a lot) of writing

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company.
