Happy Tuesday! In case you missed yesterday’s post, I’m committing to 40 days of remembering God’s faithfulness to bolster my faith, and 40 days of prayer, knowing God can do all that we pray for and more according to His will if we only have the faith to ask! Today’s GSU (God Showed Up) Story:…

40:40 Day One
Silence fills the room. The lamp glows, warm and sunny over soft blankets and small stacks of books and journals. I’ve just finished my first week of a new forty days of prayer, and as I snuggle in on a quiet Sunday night, I can’t help but wonder if I’m really making a difference. When…
A Tale of Two Ann’s
I heard this true story on the local Christian radio station last night on the way home from work: Ann was out running an errand and came across a lady on the side of the road with a flat tire. She pulled over to help and changed the lady’s tire for her, refusing the money the…
Sparky
I stepped on my cat while shaking my tailfeather this morning. He’s fine. Probably. I am in a great mood today because I am officially ON THE WAGON. The vegetable wagon, that is. I was veggan ( vegan+eggs) for the first three weeks of January, but I didn’t feel of look any different by the…
Quail Burgers
When the ancient Israelites were wandering around in the desert for, oh, about forty years, they began to complain and say that they missed the good food they’d had back in Egypt.

New Year’s, Poop, and Limousines

The crowd goes wild! Well, by the crowd I mean me, obviously. These past ten days have been eventful. I had…
Blah Humbug?
Hey, you!- the one trying to escape the pervasive sadness that sits like a wet blanket over you as you numbly go through the motions this holiday season- You want to feel warm and fuzzy, but you just don’t know how- I’m right there with you, friend. I don’t know why you’re down. For me,…
Watch This
If you took all the separate, tiny pieces of a watch and put them them in a box, and then proceeded to shake the box forever, do you think the watch would eventually shake into place and start working? No? Me, neither. Our bodies are infinitely more complex than any piece of machinery (even the…
Life On My Knees
We stood there in the gym of Clark Springs Elementary, rows of metal folding chairs lined up behind us as brothers and sisters from every walk of life sang in unison. Worship was always inspiring at Aletheia Richmond, and the Spirit of God was undeniably in our midst as Erin and Keilan led a in…
