Do the Right Thing

To err is human. To forgive is divine. The news is full of Duggars and Jenners . Honestly, I have mixed emotions about both situations. In both cases long dresses are involved. It’s hard to see past emotion and popular opinion and figure out which end is up. I think my opinion is..IT’S NONE OF…

Are You Afraid the Dark?

Disclaimer: My aim here is not to give anyone the heebie-jeebies. I hate being scared! I can’t even watch commercials for horror movies! I am just relaying experiences I have had, because they strengthen my faith in the spiritual world, which pushes me to press as close as I can into Jesus. Ok, here we…

No Good Thing

Psalm 84:11 and what it means in my life. The Lord God is a sun (a source of life-giving and light) and a shield (protection from harm) The Lord bestows favor and honor (he blesses his children and helps them in answer to prayer and obedience) No good thing does he withhold from those who…

All Day, Ery Day

Picture it: 13 brothers, sharing life together, preaching about God’s forgiveness of sins and His gift of life the way God meant it to be: helping, loving, laughing, encouraging, enjoying God and each other. One night they are all eating together, as they have done countless times before. Their beloved teacher looks into the faces…

Just Do It?

  Sex. The horizontal hokey pokey.  Making love. Doing it. I want to take a few minutes and talk about this amazing thing I am super thankful that God created. There is, among others, one thing that convinces me that evolution (humans evolving through millions of years from single- celled organisms) is not how our…

Not Suitable for the Dinner Table

Warning: I have an opinion. Because this topic has been in the news lately (and on Facebook), let’s go there. Life is a miracle. Just because it’s hidden behind a couple inches of something doesn’t make it less precious. If I hide a kitten behind a t-shirt, and I lethally inject it through the fabric,…

Testing..1,2,3

I’ve been told many times that it’s never a good idea to ask God for patience.    Somewhat along those lines, I am praying for God to develop  kindness and gentleness in me, because I tend to have a temper more often than I care to admit. In the past week it seems that people…

Approaching the hill

35th. Birthday. Drinking margaritas so spelling may be in jeopardy. This year is looking like it will be a challenging and rewarding one. I’m getting married this year. I just have a feeling, so I’m calling it. Am I dating anyone? No, but that could change tomorrow, so- whatevs. Change is coming. Roomies are leaving:…

The Gambler

As I rapidly approach my 29th birthday, I am confident in this: I have learned what qualifies in my life as “Important”. My good friend Kenny Rogers wrote a song a while back that I think will help me get my thoughts out there. You gotta know when to hold ’em. The things worth holding…

Grindstones (proverbial and otherwise)

Captain’s Log. March 5th. Thursday afternoon. Greetings from Church Hill, where I am currently in bed and don’t feel like moving. Per usual.  I am still determined to press on in my journey to get out of debt, lose weight, and marry Johnny Depp, but honestly I may have lost a little bit of my…
