About Grace & Such

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 
~ Ephesians 4:3

In today’s political and cultural climate, with the overwhelming amount of social media, we are an unwilling audience to the hatred among Christians, among fellow believers. God’s grace abounds, yet so many show so little of it toward others. Grace & Such was started as a way to show healthy and gracious conversation, even when we are in disagreement. Our blog includes posts written by a diverse team of women whose only objectives are to share their grace journeys and show what grace-in-action really looks like to the community of believers who, at times, seems to have forgotten how.

Who We Are

As our tagline says, we are a bunch of women writing about grace. And such.

We are a diverse group of women, ranging in age from 20 to 60-something.

Some of us are married; some are divorced; some are single.

Some of us have children; some have grandchildren; some have neither.

Some of us are conservative; some are liberal; some are somewhere in between.

We don’t agree on everything and that’s okay. But here’s what we do agree on:

  • We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God
  • We believe in one God in three distinct, equal persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit
  • The Father is the creator of all
  • The Son (Jesus Christ) is our salvation and the only way to the Father
  • The Holy Spirit indwells followers of Jesus and is the source through which we are able to live godly lives

Our desire is to encourage other women as we share our thoughts and experiences as well as Biblical truths.

Use What You Have

By Sarah Blizzard Robinson

If it hadn’t been for my service on “The Food Panel,” a volunteer gig with our local newspaper, I might never have heard about, or understood the importance of an immersion blender. I wouldn’t call myself a foodie. I just wanted to write. When I saw the ad for volunteers…

Marriage 101

By Jennifer Mobley Thompson

I’m no marriage expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I do know a thing or two. I have been married for 33 years and, while I expect to be married at least twice this long, it’s still a fairly significant amount of time. So I’m going to share…

Our Future’s Kingdom View

By Diane Karchner

For years I ignored this fascination that others have had with their ancestry, with their roots. I didn’t see the need or the use for it. At all. That is, until I got cataracts. I know that’s a strange leap, but these tiny little things on my eyes – too…

Practicing the Principles of Peace

By Sarah Blizzard Robinson

How did we get so far out of balance? In the beginning was perfection, the likes of which our world today cannot fathom. Creation flowed in skilled precision as if the wind, rain, and sunshine were on a perfect release schedule, nature’s acrobatic dance over all the earth. But suddenly,…

Going Home

By Natalie Liounis

Late in 2019, I officially made the decision to quit my job and stay home with my daughter. It was simultaneously the hardest and easiest decision I’ve ever had to make. It was hard because I love my former colleagues at the community college and enjoyed working with them; it…

Rejoicing Abundantly

By Diane Karchner

Over a decade ago I was involved in a women’s group through which I got to speak in front of large groups. I have a few real fears, but speaking in front of people is not one of them. So I greatly enjoyed those times, believing that this was my…
