Today is waiting. I have so many choices ahead of me. Many of them have no right or wrong, and few have life-changing consequences. Still, however my day turns out depends on me. I could have picked up a shift at work this morning, but then I wouldn’t be sitting under a warm fuzzy blanket…

This Day Is Beautiful, Too
New beginnings. When your best friend lives down the hall from you, it’s hard to imagine life without her. Today, that’s my reality. AshCap drove off from Richmond in a tightly packed Camry yesterday, and I won’t get to see her until March, when magically I will have the money to go visit her in…
This Chick: A Love Story
If she wasn’t so nice, I’d hate her. AshCap appeared in our little circle of friends one Tuesday night three years ago. She’d worked briefly with Ashley W., who invited her to Girls’ Night at Tara’s house. She was a dietitian, so obviously she was thin. She also was tall, blond, and model-gorgeous. We are…
A Tail of Two Kitties
This is Sebastian. I brought him home December 5th of last year. Three days earlier, my little tabby cat Tony (short for Antonio Banderas) had run out the front door when my roommate Sarah came home. I didn’t like to let him out front because of all the cars, but sometimes he got out that…
Slavery, The Holocaust, and Abortion: What side are you on?
Today I searched Planned Parenthood’s website. Yesterday, a friend posted a video of Ben Carson giving his thoughts on abortion. This video ridiculed Ben for comparing abortion to slavery. Thank God Ben is black or he’d really have hell to pay. At first glance, the two seem totally different. I see the connection, though. Hear…
Take Your Opiate and Shove It
Religion in the opiate of the masses- Winston Churchill If an opiate is supposed to calm you down and zone you out, then I guess religion does that on some level. I came to Jesus when I couldn’t handle my life anymore. I was miserable. Now I’m happy. I’ve heard plenty of stories of “rock-bottom”…
A seminary student, a dietitian, a cellphone salesman and a waitress walk up a mountain..
Someone please build a gym in Church Hill! We have so many restaurants, but no gym other than Crossfit, which is for millionaires and trust-fund babies. It’s not fair! The calories flow like the wine of Capistrana, and I have nowhere to shake them off. I’m thinking about burning calories because this past weekend we…
God Dreams
I love knowing that God still speaks to his people. I’ve heard him. Like, actually heard him. It was when I was twenty-five, debating a move. I was laying in bed, somewhere between consciousness and sleep, when a very clear,deep voice said “Go to Richmond.” God is a man? of few words but was kind…
Is There A Bus To Stars Hollow?
If the fruits of the spirit were sarcasm, sassiness, procrastination, dad jokes, baking, and Netflix I would be the perfect Christian. Why can’t I earn gold stars by watching Gilmore Girls? I seriously want to crawl into the monitor and be Lorelai’s younger sister who moves to Stars Hollow. I could date Jess. He’s probably…
Dammit, Ginger!
I have a crush. He’s handsome. He’s warm and funny and he says sweet things to me. We have a lot in common. We get each other’s movie references. I get that little hitch in my stomach every time I see him.
This man wants to be a pastor. Um..yes, please! There’s just this little catch..
