The road ahead looks straight, but just over the horizon it dips and bends. It is unknown. The pavement, now smooth, will be worn by rough winters and rutted with potholes. It’s going to get bumpy. The pastoral fields and dappled sunlight will be overtaken by night, and a cold rain will make it difficult…

Me+You= Us
Racism springs from the lie that certain human beings are less than fully human. It’s a self-centered falsehood that corrupts our minds into believing we are right to treat others as we would not want to be treated. -Alveda King Most Christian ‘believers’ tend to echo the cultural prejudices and worldviews of the dominant group…
Dear Channing Tatum
Hey. It’s Angela. I was just writing to see if maybe you have a twin brother. I would obviously prefer identical. If you guys are fraternal, I’m guessing with your genes he’s probably still handsome, but send a picture just in case. Here’s what you can tell him about me. I am 29, I’m somewhere…
Neighbor Tuesday
Love the one you’re with. No, this is not encouragement to be free and spontaneous and cheat on your significant other. That’s another post. “Loving your neighbor as yourself” is important to God. So important that he tacked it on as the second part of the greatest commandment : “Love the Lord your God with…

Ben Carson: Angela on Politics
I am not political. I think there are crap Republican candidates and crap Democratic candidates. The speeches are boring, confusing, and the promises never seem to make it past one house or another (?). I hate pantsuits. It’s hard to say that one party aligns more with my personal beliefs than another. So, it’s rare…
What about your friends?
“You should just sleep with him, then.” This is a direct quote from one of my well-meaning friends. I was explaining my struggle of still being attracted to my ex but knowing that he wasn’t right for me. Um…no. Having a no- strings-attached physical relationship buddy (haha) might sound reasonable to a lot of people,…
Tempted in Toronto
Bad Decisions. This could have been the name of the Lifetime Movie about my teens and early twenties. I was not a wise girl. Ten years later, the bad choices are fewer and farther between and I am grateful. However, they still happen, and now that I have wisdom, experience, and Jesus, they feel a…
A New Chapter
I paced back and forth on my parents’ porch yesterday while they were at church. I could have gone with them, but I’m not a Methodist and their pastor has a slight speech impediment so all I can think while I’m there is “Shufferin Shuccotash”. I’m easily distracted. I wasn’t just pacing. I was praying….
