Looking Up with Kathy and Carla

Are you a morning person? You don’t have to be one to love your mornings. The Bible has a lot to say about them:“Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” (Psalm 30:5)“Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love.” (Psalm 90:14)“My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.” (Psalm 130:6)“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22–23)This week, we’re talking about how to shift our mindset so we notice and appreciate the joys and mercies in our mornings. We hope you’ll join us, and let us know what you think!

It’s human nature to get our feelings hurt. A perceived slight, a careless word, or being left out can leave a real ache in our hearts. So what do we do with those feelings? We can’t always stop them from coming, but we don’t have to let them control us. On this week’s podcast, we’ll look at some practical, biblical ways to handle hurt feelings so they don’t keep us from loving and caring for others well.

This week, we’re sharing even more of our favorite things! From hair products to books, stuffies to golf pants, these are simply things we love. We aren’t affiliates or paid representatives for any brand, and we don’t profit from anything we recommend, so you can trust that we really enjoy everything we’re sharing. Tune in to hear our latest favorites!

“You are going to meet an old lady someday. Down the road ahead—ten, twenty, thirty years—she’s waiting for you. You will be catching up with her. What kind of old lady are you going to meet?”— Sharon JaynesA woman doesn’t just wake up at 80 kind and gracious, or cranky and cynical. Whether we realize it or not, the choices we make and the habits we form along the way are shaping who we will become. In this episode, we talk about the kind of “old ladies” we want to be: women who honor God, reflect His goodness, encourage others, and keep bearing fruit. We hope this episode encourages you to take an honest look at your current habits and character, and to start making the changes that will help you grow into a kind, gracious, seasoned woman of God.

Bibles on our phones, iPads, and computers are wonderful! They make it easy to carry God's Word with us wherever we go. Still, we believe "e-Bibles" are missing something important. Our leather or hardback Bibles of paper and ink have been with us through thick and thin, through joys and sorrows. Many of us have notes in the margins from sermons and classes we were blessed to attend, taught by people we loved to hear. We feel a real affection for our paper Bibles that we probably don't feel for the electronic ones.This week, Kathy shares many reasons (we lost count!) why we love carrying our paper Bibles. Of course, this is all opinion! We'd love to hear what you think about the pros and cons of e-Bibles and paper Bibles. Let us know!
