Soli Deo Gloria: May 2015
http://solideogloria-christigriffith.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 25, 2015. Liturgies, Heritage and Meditation. When there are thoughts, it is distraction;. When there are no thoughts, it is meditation.". The beach is my meditation. I feel the sun. I feel the wind. The beach is my meditation. Many romantic walks, fingers entwined. Many tears shed processing life while the sun melted behind the Channel islands. Many boat trips meditating on the rise and fall of the waves. Surfers call it their religion. They feel one with the ocean. It is their meditation.

Soli Deo Gloria: July 2012
http://solideogloria-christigriffith.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 12, 2012. I finally got a full night's sleep! The baby didn't wake, nobody needed nightmare comfort, and I actually felt like exercising! A first in over a year.) I was elated and ready to tackle the day. I was even excited to be outside for the first time in a year and announced to the brood that we would be going outside after mommy finished putting the breakfast dishes in the dishwasher and wiped off the sinks. Lord, help my unbelief! The goal of our kind gracious Father is to cause us ...

Soli Deo Gloria: Real-Life Routine
http://solideogloria-christigriffith.blogspot.com/p/real-life-routine.html
What is life like in the Griffith house on a. Being an artistic type. Is a necessary framework and yet must be flexible. I will go insane. Doing the same tasks day-in/day-out without variation. So I follow a loose routine. Exercise and projects. We get outdoors as much as possible (unless it's the hot months, then we get out in the morning and save desk work for the afternoon.). I also maintain Soli Deo Gloria Music Studio. Teaching vocal students a few days a week. I have regular cleaning and laundry.

Saturday, March 26, 2011. I can be diligent to teach them the Word, to memorize scripture, but the Word became Flesh. The Word is a Person. Am I teaching them relationship? Certainly they are happy and comfortable with Mom and Dad. I am happy for that. Sweet joy and innocence. But as they increase in reasoning and logic, in existential realities, are we demonstrating a relationship with our Creator? A love and utter joy of being with and worshiping the One who plucked us out of the race to destruction?

Wednesday, March 7, 2012. I am an introvert. According to Myers/Briggs, an INTJ. Introverted Intuition with Thinking. This describes me to a "T.". Most of the pros and cons of my personality have been evident to me for a long time. For pros, I am highly creative. For cons, I am stubborn. Yet thankfully, the Lord graciously continues to reveal my blind spots - especially because my sinful depravity is always clouding pure vision. By other's energy, while an introvert is drained. Family and friends as I se...

Monday, August 19, 2013. Before kids I had all the answers. You see the kid in the store throwing the tantrum and think, "That parent has done a terrible job training her child. I would never let my child get away with that behavior." Then you birth the child and realize how little control you actually have. They have their own personality, their own gifts, their own preferences, their own idols. The good, the precious, and the downright ugly. You reflect on all the ideals you had before you had kids.

Soli Deo Gloria: January 2011
http://solideogloria-christigriffith.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 29, 2011. We finally watched "The Soloist" this week. I seriously thought Jamie Foxx's character would be an amazing cellist, down on his luck, homeless, and then "discovered" and playing professionally in no time. Happy ending, right? I was so frustrated at the end of this movie! I wanted a happy ending for him- for all of us. But as Rob pointed out to me a couple of days later, "happy endings" aren't necessarily what we should be seeking in life. Really encouraging, right? For HIS goo...
