Having experienced some of these losses in the past few months, I’d love to write and write about my response to this article about “losing your voice,”, but since I don’t have that much writing stamina right now, I’ll just suggest you read this article and imagine how someone who thinks about our constant struggle with performance idolatry someone who sees grief as a holy emotion might view this challenge. Losing Voice( If you aren’t aware, Christopher Hitchens is a great writer and perhaps one of the world’s better-known atheists, author of the book, God Is Not Good.)
Getting excited about next week’s Gospel Coalition for women, I’ve been reading blogs from various speakers. I really liked this one by Noel Piper, who stayed at our house with her husband and two children almost 17 years ago during a hurricane, though that’s another story:-). I hope to get to reconnect with her at the conference. That’s Not Fair

Hey there. I wanted to find the link to Losing Voice but it didn’t take me there. And I nominated you for a Beautiful Blogger Award. You can read the entire post at http://www.gigimuses.com. Here is what I said about you: Elizabeth Turnage is passionate about story. Her approach to the throne beckons me to come. She is a mom of four, a survivor of shoulder pain and surgery and a purveyor of grace.
Miss you, my friend. Let me know if you are up this way anytime soon.
