Hello, friends!
My name is Lanier, And I am so glad you are here!
If this site were a house, I would invite you in for a cup of tea, or a lemonade on the porch. As it is, I want to extend the warmest of welcomes, in the hope that you will make yourself right at home—especially if you love books, gardens, and the poetry of everyday life.
I am the author of Glad & Golden Hours: A Companion for Advent and Christmastide, and my work has also been featured on The Rabbit Room, Art House America, The Gospel Coalition, and The Cultivating Project, among others.
As a writer, I like to push against assumptions a bit, with a holy curiosity over the parable and paradox with which our days are thronged. Like Elizabeth Barrett Browning, I believe that “earth’s crammed with Heaven,” and that the most quotidian things may be charged with eternal meaning, if only we have the eyes to see. I love to look for that meaning, amid the pots and pans, garden trowels, linens and laundry—and, yes, the written words—of my ordinary life.
I do hope you will join me.
~Lanier
