Open My Hands | The Gislers
https://thegislers.wordpress.com/2012/05/24/open-my-hands
Just one more thing…. As a lot of you know, James and I began looking at houses a few months ago. Now that bummer response is bubbling up inside of me the one where I have been given something really good and it turned into an opportunity for fear and discontentment somehow! So when we’ve looked at a certain number of so-so houses, I get all fatalistic, taking the joy and excitement out of this whole process! What started as a dream that was coming true (my first HOME with my HUSBAND! 8211; even in the t...

Words from a couple of Ditties: July 2011
http://dittmerdigest.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Words from a couple of Ditties. Two midwesterners making a life across the pond. Friday, July 29, 2011. July is almost over! Today is the "We've been married for 2-months" day! Wow, time has certainly gone by quickly. I cannot believe that July is almost over. We have so many things yet to do, people to see, places to visit! This may sound kind of depressing, but we have kind of created a "bucket list" of things to do before we move. See Family in WI. See Family in IA. Go to a Twins Game in MN. We got th...

Words from a couple of Ditties: March 2012
http://dittmerdigest.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Words from a couple of Ditties. Two midwesterners making a life across the pond. Saturday, March 31, 2012. Baking at the Cottage. My thanks goes out to the doughboy. Lately I have craved cake, like, after every meal. Actually, I crave sweets all the time. It's beautiful how boxed cake mix is on sale at the Commissary almost every time we go. not to mention how easily it just sits in your pantry until go time. It just makes all my cakey dreams come true. See the fun things we find in eggs? To ensure their...

Our [laughably sad] relationship with Facebook… | The Gislers
https://thegislers.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/our-laughably-sad-relationship-with-facebook
Just one more thing…. Our [laughably sad] relationship with Facebook…. I had a great laugh on the way to work this morning. Steve Seel and Jill Riley (from the Current’s morning show) were talking about this article. From the Onion. Here’s some excerpts:. A comprehensive and groundbreaking new report released Monday by the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project has found that only four users of Facebook derive pleasure of any kind from the popular social networking website…. Tom Peros, ...

New Cat Power | The Gislers
https://thegislers.wordpress.com/2012/09/05/new-cat-power
Just one more thing…. A few weeks ago my friend Karyn. Encouraged me to keep blogging (which she needs to do more of, too! She was very right in saying that we all have a unique voice or vision to share, and she wanted me to speak up more frequently. So here’s one thing I am excited about lately: new music from Cat Power (Chan Marshall). NPR Music has some sweet little articles. On her new album. I love that she reinvented herself and her sound. She started over with a totally new canvas and some rea...

A Challenge to Men and Women | The Gislers
https://thegislers.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/a-challenge-to-men-and-women
Just one more thing…. A Challenge to Men and Women. James and I just finished reading. What’s the Difference? John Piper’s booklet on manhood and womanhood. (Download the PDF here. For free.) In it, he works through “the unique significance of our maleness or femaleness.” It’s Biblical, practical, and helpful. I feel he does an amazing job at commending both “the beauty as well as the truth of the vision.”. My earnest challenge and prayer for you is . . . 5 That you be women of prayer, so that the Word o...

Happy Bday, Mom! | The Gislers
https://thegislers.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/happy-bday-mom
Just one more thing…. Happy Bday, Mom! Today is my dear mama’s birthday! She is turning an undiscloced number of years today🙂 (Probably around 38.). I’ve seen her grow in her relationship with Christ – trusting Him in hard times, learning about the word through numerous Bible studies (Leviticus most recently), and always putting a relevant passage of Scripture on notes to me. Reality show when he’s with the two of us goofballs. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mama! You are a sweet friend and a joy our lives! You are co...

Getting to the Heart | The Gislers
https://thegislers.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/getting-to-the-heart
Just one more thing…. Getting to the Heart. Our church started a free Biblical counseling program, and I’ve been meeting with a woman for about 3 months now. Wow, am I excited about it all. I’m always blown away by her wisdom and understanding of people and the Word, and I am also blown away by everything I am seeing in myself and in my life. Deep I’d rather just change my behavior externally and hope for the best. Until the same things keep popping up and I’m not seeing any lasting change. My counselor ...
