Waiting to speak: lessons along the road to justice. April 2, 2014. Middot; by emily @ la corbeille. Zechariah was stricken mute once. According to the book of Luke. It went like this. An angel told him he’d have a son and name him John, and Z couldn’t believe his ears. Obviously the angel had only one option: condemning him to nine months of muteness. (Sunday school lesson: Don’t mess with angels.). And boom. Silence. My only option would be listening. Since dealing with the natural grieving process.

February 19, 2014. Middot; by emily @ la corbeille. When someone you love dies, you live for a while by a different code. Days are about survival, and the proximity of tissue boxes. You become. 8211; the person crying in the produce section, running red lights, and swearing at the banker. When I got the call I was sitting in a coffee shop, praying. On’t judge me. What’s happened to my life? This is that moment. Visiting – waiting for something else. I’m sure this isn’t what you came...I’ll see you ...

Losing the vision, and being found again. December 31, 2013. Middot; by emily @ la corbeille. In the book Follow Me to Freedom. Shane Claiborne and John M. Perkins tack a little note onto Proverbs 29:18. And it goes like this:. Where there is no vision, the people perish. Or at least run around in circles.

And then we’re dashing back unde...

7 books for navigating a quarter life crisis. May 7, 2014. Middot; by emily @ la corbeille. I started a real piece on quarter life crises, but then the angst of being 25 and broke took down the desire to write about being 25 and broke. Bummer, too. Maybe if I weren’t spending so much time working, I could respond to all these articles about how lazy I am. I’m so bewildered by the prospect of having to grow up by midnight on Saturday that I can’t even talk about it. I’m so old. Life update ». You are comm...

December 24, 2014. Middot; by emily @ la corbeille. But seriously. who could resist. Oh, and in the meantime, we’ve had this construction zone/home to keep from setting itself on fire. Even if it’s just tearing out a ceiling, it’s hard to find the words when my mind is so full. When I do decide just to put it out there. I know I felt this last Christmas. Because she’s a genius, how we spend our days is how we spend our lives. Might be some watered down version of something someone smarter said once. ...
