I love a good drink. Bahama Mamas, French Martinis, Bourbon and Coconut Water (try it!), ice cold Bold Rock cider, Aldi’s finest Pinot Grigio (2.89. Seriously.), Sangria, Vodka Lemonade..you get the idea. I enjoy relaxing with a glass of something delicious, either with friends or by myself. “But Angela,” you ask, ” Aren’t you a…

Christians and Dating: 8 Questions To Ask Yourself
Back in the day, to get a man all you needed was a camel and your virginity. Your dad and his dad exchange livestock and hold each other’s sandals. Bada Bing, Bada Boom. You’re married. These days, it’s a little more complicated. First, you have to find someone who doesn’t make you throw up when…
Take Your Opiate and Shove It
Religion in the opiate of the masses- Winston Churchill If an opiate is supposed to calm you down and zone you out, then I guess religion does that on some level. I came to Jesus when I couldn’t handle my life anymore. I was miserable. Now I’m happy. I’ve heard plenty of stories of “rock-bottom”…
While You Were Studying
I’m not sure how I didn’t end up pregnant in high school. I wasn’t the nice Christian girl who prayed around the flagpole. I was the girl who skipped school and wasn’t very particular about who she slept with. It was exciting to me and I felt grown up and desirable. My relationships lasted for…
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…
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….
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…
#winning
The world is watching. Yesterday I posted about all the things we may be doing wrong in relating to Jesus, other Christians, and people in general. Today, I want to focus on the beauty that unfolds when love is done right. An example from my own life: my best friend Julie (whom I met on…
