Karen Bables
Welcome to my blog about living as apprentices of Jesus! I am passionate about spiritual transformation and about helping others become like Jesus for the sake of others.
One of my favorite quotes is: "Whatever job we get and whatever task we are assigned can serve as a container for grace" (Eugene Peterson in "Practical Resurrection"). I pray that the words and sentences on this blog may also serve as "containers of grace" for its readers.
I ordinarily post on Wednesdays and Saturdays and welcome your comments on any post!

Talking to “my Ladies”
I parked the car, looked around, and got out, grateful that I had found a parking place in front of the house. I put the Social Research Center sign in the windshield as instructed, locked my purse in the trunk, … Continue reading
