I ate dinner in a gas station last night. They had good pizza and a surprising selection of craft beers. Bring it on. I’ve been living in the country for two weeks now, and it couldn’t be more different than life in the city. I don’t hear anyone walking by and talking about drugs and…

It’s Just a Freaking Tuesday
A misogynistic clown with dementia and a suspciously peppy con artist in a red pantsuit walk into a bar.. What’s the joke? This election. The thought of Trump behind even podium as president is terrifying, let alone behind the desk in the Oval Office. The man is a freak show. He pretended to get saved…
Pack it up, Pack it in..
My house is not my house without me in it. As I put pictures, decor, books, and personal effects in boxes, the me-ness of the place fades away and ugly blank walls stare back at me. I’m not sad to leave, although I love the neighborhood and have some great memories here: hosting Friendsgiving Dinner…
Don’t Be Stupid
The devil is a beautiful woman. Can you imagine being invited into a filthy living room with cracked out junkies gathered around a bag of heroin? Would you take a seat on a frayed couch next to a couple dead bodies and be ready to party? No. You would gather with the beautiful people, though,…
On the Move
Moving is FUN. Moving is JOYFUL. Moving is AN ADVENTURE. Did I mention I’m moving? I’ve been in Church Hill for five years now. I’ve loved it. I really have. However, the past year has been labeled “The One With the Crazy Roommates.” My past roommates have been either great friends or at least decent…
The One Thing
Y’all know I am all about The Goals. I have lists and quotes and Bible verses. I have books and podcasts on finance, health, simplicity, making dreams a reality, and being a better Christian, friend, co-worker, etc., ad infinitum. I think it’s important to have goals to strive for, and to always be learning and…
Sticks and Stones
Why do we care so much what people think? It starts early. I still remember vividly standing out on the huge field behind Fairfax Villa Elementary. Our fourth grade class was split into two teams for a rousing game of Capture the Flag. I was wearing a stylish purple sweat suit, and I was positioned…
Open Foot, Insert Mouth
I can think of three separate occasions on which I could have been fired. They all involve me saying something I shouldn’t have. Not on purpose, mind you. But still, out loud. The first time was years ago when I was waiting on a lesbian couple. One of them was clearly the dude in the…
Peace for the Future
AshLueb and I are doing a study on the book of Daniel. Well, she accidentally got the leader guide instead of the workbook so I’m a week ahead of her. Womp womp. In today’s lesson, Beth (we’re on a first name basis) is teaching about King Nebuchadnezzar’s prophetic dream. It made him fear for his…
