GSU My parent’s dumb cat Harriet went missing while they were in Florida. Aunt Mary was going over to the house to feed her and make sure she was in at night, but three days in she went over at dusk and there was no sign of H. Harriet would often roam the wooded hills…

40:40 Day 4
GSU Shots, shots, shots, shots,shots, shots, shots! Shots aren’t cheap. I needed two vaccinations before I got on a plane to Haiti. We had raised money for our mission trip, but any extras were on us. The first provision surprised me. I went to a neighborhood community fair with some friends from church who did…
40:40 Day 3
Today’s God Showed Up is one I heard from Francis Chan, a dynamic Chinese-American pastor from California. Francis is serious about God and heartbroken about the state of the church in America. His life and teaching demonstrate a fierce passion for the people of God to live according to God’s word and for God’s kingdom….
40:40 Day 2
Happy Tuesday! In case you missed yesterday’s post, I’m committing to 40 days of remembering God’s faithfulness to bolster my faith, and 40 days of prayer, knowing God can do all that we pray for and more according to His will if we only have the faith to ask! Today’s GSU (God Showed Up) Story:…
40:40 Day One
Silence fills the room. The lamp glows, warm and sunny over soft blankets and small stacks of books and journals. I’ve just finished my first week of a new forty days of prayer, and as I snuggle in on a quiet Sunday night, I can’t help but wonder if I’m really making a difference. When…
A Tale of Two Ann’s
I heard this true story on the local Christian radio station last night on the way home from work: Ann was out running an errand and came across a lady on the side of the road with a flat tire. She pulled over to help and changed the lady’s tire for her, refusing the money the…
New Year’s, Poop, and Limousines
I never thought a cat dropping a deuce could bring me so much joy, yet here I sit, watching intensely as Bentley enters the ring..um..litter box. He strains, he shudders, and…the eagle has landed! The crowd goes wild! Well, by the crowd I mean me, obviously. These past ten days have been eventful. I had…
Watch This
If you took all the separate, tiny pieces of a watch and put them them in a box, and then proceeded to shake the box forever, do you think the watch would eventually shake into place and start working? No? Me, neither. Our bodies are infinitely more complex than any piece of machinery (even the…
On the Move
Moving is FUN. Moving is JOYFUL. Moving is AN ADVENTURE. Did I mention I’m moving? I’ve been in Church Hill for five years now. I’ve loved it. I really have. However, the past year has been labeled “The One With the Crazy Roommates.” My past roommates have been either great friends or at least decent…
“Those” People
“Those” people. That particular group that just grinds your gears. The ones that you just don’t (and don’t want to) understand. Somewhere along the way, “those people” lost your respect and your compassion. You can’t see things from their side, because they are obviously beyond understanding. You’re just too different. Who are “those people” that…
