Here are some Friday Seven Quick Takes for you . . . on a Saturday.
1. I’m at Blessed is She today, reflecting on Matthew 6:25-34. You know the one . . .
Worry, on the other hand, often disguises itself as a virtue. We think we’re being “responsible,” or “realistic,” or that it’s just not something we have a choice about. We think of “not worrying” as a luxury reserved for unwashed people who follow Jimmy Buffet around on tour. But nothing could be more Christian than giving up our anxieties. . . . (read the rest here)
2. I made you a printable prayer to go along with it:
3. And this one was a reader request, but it seems to fit as well:
As with all my printables, you are welcome to save the images to your computer for your own personal use. You may print the images and/or upload them and have prints made for your personal use or to give as gifts. (These are sized for 8×10 or square but will print well much bigger.) First click on the image to bring it up in a new window, then right-click on the image to save it to your computer. You may use my images on your blog, just please link back to my blog. If you would like to sell my images, please contact me first. To request a custom printable, visit my Etsy shop here.

4. Hey, speaking of anxiety . . .
I kind of figured I wasn’t going to be a fan, based on the advertising. But then I saw a snippet of Stephen Greydanus’ breathless review and wanted to give it a try.
I almost always agree with his reviews. But not this time. And on further reflection . . . he also really liked Brave, and I had similar issues with that movie. I refuse to let Pixar convince me that my children
growing up is going to be a nightmare of fights, feelings, running away, and maybe me getting turned into a bear.
5. And the big thing about which I have been, um, THINKING quite a bit, but am, of course not at all ANXIOUS about, because it’s all, totally . . . fine, and, um . . . God’s will be done and all that.
Update: We heard back! Apparently, there are seven bidders, and we all got the counteroffer and are still in it. We are moving forward. But for now . . . more waiting.
6. You don’t have to worry if you haven’t done anything yet for Father’s Day. I’ve got you covered.
