I could make some man very happy one day. I love God. I clean. I bake bagels from scratch. I’m passionate and affectionate and I can find the humor in almost anything. I am strong and supportive and protective of my people. I love bourbon and a good cigar. So, yeah. I could be an…

Forgiveness
Sometimes the stars align just right and you find yourself face to face with That Person. The one you’ve told off several thousand times in your head. The one whose name makes your blood pressure rise. The one who hurt you and seems to be sailing through life with no remorse and no consequences. There…
Christians and Co-existence?
You’ve probably seen the navy blue bumper stickers with the word “Co-exist” on them. They work little symbols for Judaism, Islam, and Christianity into the word with a cross for the “t”, a star of David for the “o” and the crescent moon for the “c”. But what does co-exist mean? According to our old…
Christians and Margaritas
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 Sex
I met a sweet friend for lunch up in Fredericksburg yesterday. We talked about boys and friends and God, and we both expressed sadness over our experiences with churches that tiptoe around sensitive subjects like…sin. We have both seen Christian friends who are living in blatant disregard to God’s commands, and oftentimes these people are…
Choosing Wisely
Today is waiting. I have so many choices ahead of me. Many of them have no right or wrong, and few have life-changing consequences. Still, however my day turns out depends on me. I could have picked up a shift at work this morning, but then I wouldn’t be sitting under a warm fuzzy blanket…
Dammit, Ginger!
I have a crush. He’s handsome. He’s warm and funny and he says sweet things to me. We have a lot in common. We get each other’s movie references. I get that little hitch in my stomach every time I see him.
This man wants to be a pastor. Um..yes, please! There’s just this little catch..
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…
