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…
He Is Good
Psalm 16 A prayer[a] of David. 1 Protect me, God, for the only safety I know is found in the moments I seek You. 2 I told You, Eternal One, “You are my Lord, for the only good I know in this world is found in You alone.” 3 The beauty of faith-filled people encompasses me. They are true,…
Em-Burrusing
Buttermilk fried chicken. Truffle fries. Calamari. Fried Green Tomatoes. Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp Crepes. Coconut Cream Pie. Loaded Nachos. Steak Caesar sandwich. Three restaurants in two days. I can explain! Saturday Ash Cap and I went to Homemades By Suzanne to get a delicious, down-home lunch one last time before she moves to Africa. Saturday night my…
Friday Favorites and a Giveaway!
When my best friend Julie started talking to me about Essential Oils, I was skeptical to say the least. She claimed they worked for headaches, colds, nausea, indigestion, that time of the month, sleeplessness, hot flashes, kidney stones, and basically anything that wasn’t a severed limb. The DoTerra oils were also Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade,…
