I am a free woman. I had court this morning because I forgot about jury duty one week last month and so I had to tell them why I didn’t show. My sweet friend Rebecca from work went with me and even bought me coffee and a scrumptious pear muffin from WPA. There was some…

Guard-rails, bumpers, and airbags
I’m not good at being patient. I hate waiting rooms. Long lines make me die a little inside. Slow loading time on Facebook? Ain’t nobody got time for that. I want what I want when I want it. Now would be terrific. If you are an instant gratification junkie like I am, the following eight…
Come On In!
As I pray and wait to hear from God what career exactly I should be striving towards (I’m leaning towards professional mud wrestler), I have also been envisioning how I want to live my life, no matter what that looks like. Peace, welcome, and joy are the three words I really want to define my…
Influence and Impact Summit: Part One
Photo Credit: http://www.michaelhyatt.com “I wonder if they’re wearing pants.” It’s a fair question. You can only see them from the waist up. For the past two days I have been watching videos from the Influence and Impact Summit hosted by Michael Hyatt, a NY Times bestselling author, blogger extraordinaire, and the former CEO of…
The Good Life: Simplified
Seek the LORD and live. ~Amos 5:6 This is my book, in five words. I just saved you $16.95. You’re welcome. Seriously, though. The simplicity of this verse is like a warm hug, a push out the door, and a hand to hold on the journey. It’s the beginning of knowledge, and it’s all…
Jealousy, Hater-Aid, and You: A True Story
U-G-L-Y! You ain’t got no alibi! You ugly! Hey, hey, you ugly! I’m singing this song to myself. Well, to my inner self. Although, I do have a possible pinkeye situation going on so either way. Today I want to talk about something that plagues almost every woman I know. Jealousy. These are the thoughts…
Take Your Shirt Off!
I have a secret. I don’t always hop out of bed singing Praise and Worship songs. Sometimes all I want to do is pull the covers up over my head and sleep til Jesus returns. When I see people wearing those “Life is Good” t-shirts, I have a less than holy urge to challenge them….
Wanted
I found out yesterday why people say “banging on the door like the po-lice”. The cops are after me. Well, just one. I heard obnoxiously loud knocking at the door yesterday morning and opened it to find the Sheriff standing there. He mispronounced my name and handed me a summons to appear in court. The…
Just Another Angry Rant
If you make a pregnant, unwed mother cry, you’re doing it wrong. There is a “pastor” who comes into to the restaurant I work in and makes all of the employees uncomfortable. A couple years ago he told a pregnant server she needed to marry the baby’s father immediately so the child wouldn’t be born…
My First First Love
I have always loved stories. As a kid, wearing Osh Kosh B’ Gosh, I loved nothing more than trips to the library where I could check out 37 books at a time. I would run my fingers lightly over the plastic-covered spines and try to choose the best ones based solely on title. My favorites…
