Meet Dolvett. Ok, pick yourself up off the floor and meet Dolvett. (Cue En Vogue’s “Whatta Man”). Dolvett Quince is one of the personal trainers from NBC’s “Biggest Loser”: a television show where contestants compete to shed the most pounds by the end of the season. It is motivational, and having an intelligent, polite trainer…

Tellin’ It Like It T-I- Is
I am not a great Christian. I have a fondness for the word “mofo”, I suffer from road rage, and my downfall has always been sexy black men. Thankfully, I love a God who shows himself strong in my weaknesses. I don’t actually curse (that much), I seldom use communicative hand gestures on the highway,…
Rhymes with Nope
Can sex outside of marriage be in the will of God? Look, I’m right there with you wishing the answer was “yes”. We could go back and forth all day about why your situation is different, or how unfair God is for making me wait, but it comes back to one point: God says no….
Light It Up
I am confident this is going to be a great month. When I first decided to make February my month of Gratitude and Joy, I figured God would allow my arm to fall off or that suddenly Netflix would reveal the Gilmore Girls Reunion Episodes were nothing but a cruel hoax. Instead, I am seeing…
Gratitude is the New Complaining
Here’s a list of things I’m not grateful for: 1. My best friend moving to Tanzania. 2. Ratchets (ghetto people who eat in my restaurant, send back their Cajun Jambalaya Pasta, and tip me with loose change and pocket lint.) The standard is twenty percent, not twenty cents. Ya heard? 3. 17 feet of snow….
I’m a Survivor (Snowbody Does It Better)
Hi, sweet friends! I’m coming to you live from the couch, halfway through another day of refusing to drive in the aftermath of Snowpacalypse 2016. My car took Bronze in Ice Dancing at last year’s Olympics, so I thought we’d wait this one out another day. I sure am grateful for heat and blankets and…
A Prayer for the Addict
You aren’t sweet but somehow you rot teeth. You bought my neighbor an Acura SUV and I’m still driving a 2003 Galant. You’re a cold blooded killer. You make people broke and desperate. You tear apart families and friendships. You make evil people rich and sick people sicker. You shatter the future with cheap fulfillment…
Does God Still Talk To People?
In the land of Burger King, Wal-Mart, and Amazon Now, it’s easy to look around and see creation. Man’s creation, that is. Living in a city, even one perched over the white rapids of the James, it’s easy to lose touch with the creation of God. It’s easy to fall into a mindset of humanity…
Christian or Practical Atheist?
I was attending a women’s retreat a few years ago. While we popped M&M’s and Hershey’s Kisses, women from our church spoke on various topics, and one of my (now) dearest friends spoke on the topic of “practical atheism”. I had never heard the term before, and it intrigued me. I had heard of atheism…
Back in Business..Or Not..
I worked out for the first time this year yesterday. My sweet friend Catherine is a huge proponent of The 21-Day Fix, a health and fitness program that has given her a rocking body and a newfound sense of confidence and purpose to share her success with others. I, on the other hand, got just…
