About this deal

For nearly three years Kara Tippetts wrote regularly on her blog, Mundane Faithfulness. Kara was a church planter’s wife and mother of four, and she wrote about her life and journey with cancer. Kara passed away in March 2015, but her words continue to encourage and inspire today. However, you can also upload your own templates or start from scratch with empty templates. How to make a meme

This is an excellent collection of blog posts written by Kara Tippetts of Mundane Faithfulness collected and published after her death. Readers who came to know Kara through her previous books, but have not read her blog, may appreciate this collection of some of the best of her work. It makes her writing accessible for those who are not blog readers and allows those of us who came to know Kara only as she was dying a chance to know better how she lived in the middle of her long goodbye. it’s difficult to conceptualize activism like this. the fact that anything—an apartment, a babysitter—could be found on a telephone pole, so the flyers went there too… what’s the contemporary equivalent? facebook marketplace? it’s also notable that the virus epicenter was also the epicenter of where america got its news (new york city). a perfect storm. Phil Hay, currently working for The Athletic, was the Leeds United sports-writer for the Yorkshire Evening Post. He knows the history of the club, through the ups and downs, so can document it here along with referencing interviews he personally has conducted. Therefore the Lord waits [expectantly] and longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; Blessed (happy, fortunate) are all those who long for Him [since He will never fail them]."

A good tagline on an eye-catching poster works. Find a way to distill your message, and make it easy to read! Kara's writing, like her life and death, is beautiful and honest. She stays faithful to to her truth and her people. She presents a philosophy of life that can be appreciated both by those who know the end of their life is near and those who do not. As I read through this collection of blog posts, I felt a deep longing to live a better life in the midst of my own mundane, everyday existence. I don't know how long my good-bye is, but I do know that I want my own life to be beautiful to those who happen to be a part of it. Kara's book is a great encouragement to do that, no matter what the source of our challenges might be. Some of my most difficult conversations I have had in the midst of my cancer have been with believers that do not see God in a hard plan. So many believe that hard comes and then God makes it better. It is so easy to forget that our salvation came by way of the hard of a cross.”

Kara bravely faced death and leaves behind a legacy of love for her husband, her four young children, her friends, and those who only know her through her written words. She lived well. May our own lives be marked by such grace and beauty even amidst the hard. On 27th February 2022, after 170 matches in charge, promotion to the Premier League and some of the most exhilarating football the English game has ever seen, Leeds United parted company with their most beloved and successful manager in a generation: Marcelo Bielsa. His parting gift was to embrace the crowds of adoring fans who turned up to say thank you as he left the club's training ground for the final time. On the invitation I just said: come with an open mind and open heart, ready to celebrate me. A lot of people were genuinely confused and didn’t know what to expect. But most I’ve spoken to, especially those who were a bit apprehensive, have said how expansive it was for them. It was so joyful – equal amounts laughing to crying. So many people came up to me and were like, “Oh my God, thank you so much for having this – it’s a gift, to be able to celebrate you in this way.” Cancer wants to be a thief and steal my moments, but there is always grace. There is always room for Jesus and love." This book deserves a lot. For one, it deserves a reviewer that is not just an older angry queer teen sitting in their bed below a 'Pits and Perverts' poster they printed at an Office Depot 3 towns over, desperately trying to cover their face the whole time. But since I inexplicably am the way I am I'll give it a decent shot.

For those who have had cancer touch their lives or the lives of loved ones, the notion that any part of it could be a gift sounds offensive and insensitive. Yet it was this that drew me to And It Was Beautiful and author Kara Tippetts. Kara was diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of 2012 and passed away in March 2015 at 38, leaving behind a husband and four children. And It Was Beautiful is a posthumous collection of writings from her blog Mundane Faithfulness. Firstly, I’m a big Leeds United fan and have been for many, many years. I can recall Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson, David O’Leary and the many other managers that have run the team at Elland Road over the years, brilliantly or badly. Perhaps only Revie comes close to Bielsa for his determination and commitment to the club, and that was in the days when managers and players were far more likely to stay with the same club. The Lord is [indeed] near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth."

The Sash" (also known as " The Sash My Father Wore") is a ballad from the Province of Ulster in the north of Ireland commemorating the victory of King William III in the Williamite War in Ireland in 1690–1691. The lyrics mention the 1689 Siege of Derry, the 1689 Battle of Newtownbutler near Enniskillen, the 1691 Battle of Aughrim, and the 1690 Battle of the Boyne. It is popular amongst Ulster loyalists and many other unionists in Northern Ireland, as well as in parts of Scotland. At the same time, your cultural moment won't last forever. Be efficient and use your window while you can, because eventually you won't be making headlines anymore. Your protest will not result in a change in policy unless you are specifically targeting the people and organizations that hold power. In addition, you should have a clear message as to what policy changes you want to see. My favorite and the times that broke my heart is her cry for her children. She loved being a mamma. She saw each of her children and knew them. What encouraged them and what discouraged them and she took that job in and saw joy in it. She saw joy in her community of people that we can miss because we think we have all the time in the world. In her life that is broken because of cancer, she is reminding others what really matters. So if you are tired of the events of Christianity and want life, I would encourage you to encounter the life that Kara fought for. I finally rest. And watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills."

As such I'm always on the lookout for new festive experiences in and around Birmingham, or within a short drive. I've been to the Birmingham German Christmas Market every year since I was about 11 years old. In the late 1980s, the AIDS pandemic was annihilating queer people, intravenous drug users, and communities of color in America, and disinformation about the disease ran rampant. Out of the activist group ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), an art collective that called itself Gran Fury formed to campaign against corporate greed, government inaction, stigma, and public indifference to the epidemic. Throughout it all her faith remained steady and she continued to cherish her family and friends, and they cherished her She had an incredible support group that she felt blessed to have. She sings their praises throughout the book and I'm sure they all felt cherished by her.
