On the Giving of Gifts

November 28, 2022November 28, 2022 by Jocelyn Loane

Back in the 90s the book The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman came out. The ideas in that book are something I still hear people talk about today. The premise is that people express and receive love in five key different ways. They include words…

Don’t Quiet Quit your Faith

October 18, 2022October 18, 2022 by Jocelyn Loane

What I pray for my kids – with Jocelyn Loane

May 18, 2021May 18, 2021 by Jocelyn Loane

I’m often late to jump on a bandwagon, so I only recently saw Hamilton for the first time. Now I’m hooked. I loved it. The song lyrics are stuck on repeat in my brain; I even keep waking up singing them! If you haven’t heard of it, Hamilton is the hit…

Homesick for Heaven

September 10, 2020September 10, 2020 by Jocelyn Loane

When I was thirteen, I started boarding at my school. My family moved across the country, a 6-hour flight and then a 5-hour drive away from me. Our school had day students and boarders, but they mostly socialised separately. The other boarders…

You are enough, and other lies we like to swallow

June 25, 2020June 25, 2020 by Jocelyn Loane

I don’t know about you, but the recent months of school at home exposed some pretty ugly cracks in the façade I’d created for myself of being a good mother. It’s much easier, it turns out, to parent your children when they aren’t in the same physical…
