Note to self: Wine Tour Party Buses are not your friend. Happy Birthday, Ashley! Moving on. Do you ever have times where your life motto could be “If it ain’t broke it will be tomorrow”? I just came back in from attempting to mow the lawn. I filled the little gas tank, revved the engine,…

“Those” People
“Those” people. That particular group that just grinds your gears. The ones that you just don’t (and don’t want to) understand. Somewhere along the way, “those people” lost your respect and your compassion. You can’t see things from their side, because they are obviously beyond understanding. You’re just too different. Who are “those people” that…
Hangry
We’ve all been there. Hunger so intense that we passed irritable six miles back. Stomach-growling, sweat-beading, all-encompassing need. If we don’t eat soon someone will die. There is a word for this catastrophic state of emergency: Hangry. This, my friends, was our sermon topic yesterday morning. When we get hangry, we will reach for the…
Stop The Violence
I was in tears at the gym today. It’s not because I did a twelve hour shift yesterday (Apparently Portugal costs money and no one has yet volunteered to pay for my ticket). I was tired but functional. It’s because I was watching CNN’s coverage of the shootings in Dallas. It’s because the reason they…
I have “the block”, so I’m going to play guitar and leave your with this picture, instead. Tomorrow, something worthwhile. More or less. Ang
Wok U, Charles Duhigg
Wanna read the most boring book on the planet? Check out Charles Duhigg’s “The Power of Habit”. I’m making it a point to learn as much as I can by reading books on wide-ranges of topic, but six hours in, waiting for “the good part”, the only thing this snooze-maker has taught me is that…
Not that I’m Counting.. Obviously
Dear Jesus, I’m pretty sure I’ve been praying for help to LOSE weight. Love, W.T.Fill in the Blank I made the mistake of getting on the scale today. After three really sweaty workouts last week and a successful smaller portion eating routine, I definitely believed I was on my way to the hotter, slimmer me…
Summa This, Summa That
The past month has been a good one. Summer sunshine, day trips to Virginia Beach and Charlottesville wineries, one wedding, picnics in parks, Mexican girls night (and Richie), happy hours, karaoke, rooftop cigars, visiting friends all around Richmond. It’s been a great staycation. Good people make life worth it. Now, our best friend has boarded…
Oops I Did It Again
Galatians 5:19-26 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the…
These Guys..
Who can you be fully, completely yourself with? Which people can you trust with your secrets, your sorrows, and your deepest fears? Who would you pee in front of? Who can you laugh with until you collapse on the floor because your stomach hurts? I am blessed to have a few of these friends. I…
