Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
I remember the hesitation I felt so clearly. I was sitting in the confessional and my priest was asking me to name my sins. I felt like what I was about to say was nearly as bad as saying I don’t believe in God. I braced myself for his reaction. “I’m finding my prayer time […]
Do you go to church every week? I certainly think there’s value in corporate worship, but sometimes, it seems like people lose sight of the many other ways to worship and celebrate God. I’ve certainly been judged for not attending church every single week. In fact, I’ve even been told that I’m not a good […]
I can tell you exactly where I have failed when studying the Bible. As with many other things in my life, I’ve been a tad bit impatient. I’ve expected to zip through it. Read this chapter today. Done. Read the next one tomorrow. Done. It’s partly those “read the entire Bible in a year” plans […]
Do you engage in regular Bible study? Immersing myself in Scripture is so important to my growth as a Christian and my overall well-being. I find that the days I take the time to study God’s Word, I am happier, more patient, and better able to equip any challenges that come my way. I am […]
“After he (Jesus) had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.” (Matthew 14:23) We all know that Jesus was a very social person and a hard worker. He celebrated with the community at a wedding, for example. He spent countless hours teaching and traveling in order to spread the Word […]
“Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.” In the Bible, we are told to observe the Sabbath. It’s even one of the Ten Commandments! But many of us aren’t the best at it. Life is just SO busy! Who can possibly take a whole 24 hours off? But God, in His wisdom, knew just how […]
Inspired by one of my favorite blogs Brocante Home (who was in turn inspired by a feature in Harper’s Bazaar written by Diana Vreeland), Why Don’t You is a new weekly feature here on Creative Cynchronicity. It’s a bit of an extension of Cyn’s Month with a week’s worth of suggestions for adding a little […]
I tried this concept out for a little while last year but it seemed like no one was reading Cyn’s Month. It still lived on but in the archives, hidden away. Well, in reviewing my stats and reading some emails, it seems that Cyn’s Month was actually a favorite feature for some of you. So, […]
This is my first full week back to work after the holidays. I did actually do some work during the break but I kept it to the bare minimum and really allowed myself some down time. It. Was. Glorious! Don’t get me wrong. I love my job. I love the writing and the creativity and […]
Is anyone else having some crazy (as in not seasonal at all) weather these days? It has been warmer than usual around here and we’ve barely had any snow (pretty much just a dusting here and there). In fact, we’ve had severael rainy days in the past month. Still, I feel like a big winter […]
