Today’s guest post is from my fellow Redbud Connie Jakab, a writer, dancer and Culture Rebel from Calgary. I’ve loved her posts on bullying, and asked her to write something to share with you. THIS is amazing and insightful: If I wanted to destroy a woman…. I wouldn’t use physical pain. Women can get through […]

Hi cyber-friends! (Doesn’t that sound a little bit like “Spider Friends?” I loved that show when I was little–but if you’re under 30, and have no idea what I’m talking about, just forget I said anything, okay?) I thought I should tell you (now that it’s halfway through the week) that my parents are in […]

Hi friends, I have an urgent request for you. Jeff Goins has been popping up all over the blogosphere for the last several months, but I remember him as the sweet, red-headed guitar player from one of the CTI Music Ministries teams my husband trained back in the day. A nice kid, real sharp, with […]

Hi all! Sorry to be AWOL for so long, but in the time since my last post I have: Gotten through the JAM and all its attendant craziness. Applied to (and been accepted to!) Northwestern College. (Paperworkpalooza!) Started two new, large-ish writing projects. It’s one of the writing projects that I need help with. It deals […]

I’ll be making some changes around here over the next couple weeks. Hold tight, dear readers, and don’t be freaked out if you log on and find something that looks completely different. Thanks! Read more at http://jennyraearmstrong.blogspot.com.

I’m adding a “red cup” to my sidebar so my wonderful readers (and myself) can donate to the UN’s World Food Programme directly from my blog. If I understand correctly, one euro a week (about $1.50) from every person in the developed world would be enough to wipe out hunger on this planet. If you’d […]

Thanks to their punk rock prowess and the tireless fingers of their loyal fans, Pierced3 has made it all the way to final round of the USAA Garage Band Playoff! But they need your help to nab the grand prize: $2500, a professional video and photo shoot, and tons of free buzz! (I believe their […]

Pierced3, for their fantastic song “Just Drive!” *mad cheering and clapping* Way to go, girls–two more rounds to go!!! Edited to add: Rumor is, they took it by a landslide. Like, a 71% of the total landslide. 🙂 Go girls–and go fans!!! Read more at http://jennyraearmstrong.blogspot.com.

I’ve talked before about Pierced3–an uber-talented, uber-adorable sister act Aaron has been working with since they were 8, 11, and 13. (They’re 11, 14, and 16 now.) Spunky, quirky, vegetarian homeschoolers who write, play and sing feel-good punk rock–what’s not to like? They’ve entered their song “Just Drive” in the USAA Garage Band Playoff, and […]

My article “Bumper Sticker Theology” is up at Emerging Women today, under the heading “It’s Been a Rough Year.” It’s nothing my “blog buddies” haven’t read before–it’s the same article I posted here about a year ago, and that appeared at TheOoze.com and in Geez Magazine–but if you’ve never been to Emerging Women before, the […]

You had to know it was coming. I’m just shocked that anyone calling themselves Christians could be so brazen about their agenda. The Conservative Bible Project is, evidently, the backlash against “politically correct” translations of scripture. It will, among other things, “provide a framework against liberal bias,” “utilize powerful conservative terms,” “express free-market parables,” and, […]
