I’ve always thought pirates were sexy. Maybe it’s the way television has romanticized them; maybe it’s the dirty hair and exotic birds. My name is Angela and I’m attracted to bad boys. Have you wondered how on earth I could possibly be single? I thought you had. It’s because I consistently fall for men who…

Night-Light
The darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. 9-11. The Virginia Tech killer. Sandy Hook. Isis. These are a few more recent examples I can think of where evil stood up straight and marched forward, arms outstretched, not caring who fell in his wake. In the more distant past we have the…
This.
Every Tuesday a group of women gathers around a dining room table and talks about sex. We don’t mean to; it just always creeps its way into the conversation somehow! We are a circle of friends that started back in the good old days of Aletheia, the church in downtown Richmond where most of us…
Living the Reality!
I have decided to quit my job tomorrow. After reading Jon Acuff’s book “Quitter”, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s now or never. I need to jump in with both feet or I will never leave the shore. Actually, contrary to the book’s name, “Quitter” is a wonderful how-to manual on how to get…
The S Word
Another of my friends slips into a white dress, walks down an aisle, and says “I do.” She’s beautiful and they are obviously crazy about each other. I raise my third glass of wine at the reception, and say, from my heart, “It was nice knowing you.” At our age, the statistics aren’t pretty. More…
Smeet Smite Smote
Have you ever tried to read through the book of Obadiah? It’s pretty much a big old “you’re screwed” letter to the Edomites, who were some evil dudes that picked on the God’s people. It’s not comforting. Obadiah, the deliverer of this “you can run, but you can’t hide” message, was also a bit long…
Coming Soon..
Some thoughts I jotted down in my journal: Blog Ideas “Making no decision is a decision in itself.” ” The Christmas I received an Aretha Franklin ‘Greatest Hits’ CD and a bag of potpourri and I cried because no one knew me.” “If all else fails I can get a job as a Rachel Dolezal…
May I Ask Who’s Calling?
Reverend Angela. Pastor Ang. Father Angela. Just trying some different titles out here. I sat talking with my parents, trying to enjoy a nice hummus wrap at The Hill Cafe this evening. I was telling them about the 4-hour long Life -Coaching Webinar I participated in yesterday, and how much I enjoyed getting to learn…
As I Lay Dying
One thought came to me as I lay in the fetal position on my couch yesterday afternoon, sick as a dog (why is that a saying?). My roommate had just suggested that I might want to wean myself off of coffee slowly. I hadn’t had caffeine in two days, and I had such a killer…
The Fast and the Furious
Today was Day One of my 21- Day Daniel Fast. I have been trying hard to eat healthy all year. Each time I start strong but then, for some reason or another, I lose momentum instead of weight. I need a drastic change. I need rigid guidelines. I need a pizza. Ok, so: The Daniel…
