These are strange times. I’ve never been part of a plague before. It’s hard to remember what it feels like to just go places without worrying about who might be carrying a deadly virus. Or if there will be toilet paper. Really, doomsday preppers? You had to take ALL of the Charmin? We are blessed….

Trust me, I’ve been there
I’ve given my heart to some real winners. There was the alcoholic, the guy who stole my money and helped me look for it, and the one with anger issues who sent me an “I can’t stop eating” GIF because I didn’t want to date him anymore and had put on ten pounds that year….
Mrs.Who?
Did anyone else have an identity crisis when they tied the knot? I can no longer identify as “single plump waitress living in friend’s attic with constipated cat”. No wonder I didn’t get much action on E-Harmony. Just kidding. Mostly. The truth is, I spent many years not quite fitting in with the people around…

“Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain” ~ 1 Timothy 6:6 I just want to lean into this verse, hug it tight and let it sink in slowly, taking up residence in my bones. The very appeal of it is strange to me. I always thought I’d end up living in some exotic place…
Living Well
I’ve never really been successful at…well, being successful. It’s not so bad, really. I have my comfort zone. There’s pizza there. But there’s this nagging question buzzing around in my head like an annoying little gnat lately: what if I am actually capable of way more than I think? What if I’ve been letting…
New Year, Same Me
Angela, December 31- Up a few pounds because, well, cheese. Wondering when things will finally come together because life hasn’t progressed by standards of the “American Dream”. Also, I live in an attic with my constipated cat and rang in New Years on the couch wearing teddy bear pajamas and commenting on how good people…
40:40 Day…40
Today will be the last post in my forty day series of commemorating God’s faithfulness and persisting in prayer. I remember being on day eight and wondering how in the world I would come up with thirty-two more God moments to write about, but he brought more to mind as the days progressed and…
40:40 Day 37
Danielle and I became friends while arguing on Facebook. A guy friend we had in common had put up a post about God, and Danielle, being a science-minded college student, was pushing back against each faith- based comment. She and I got into it, respectfully, and we went in circles. Finally, I just said, “Hey,…
40:40 Day 36
My friend Alicia has the gifts of prayer and contagious laughter. Both equally important. I knew she would set an alarm for some weird time, like 5:37 a.m., each morning and she would pray for Cyprus or whatever God was laying on her heart, and then go back to sleep. I really admired her dedication…
40:40 Day 34
Sometimes it’s the little things that let us know God is always there, always providing. As you might know, my one and a half year old kitty Bentley has issues because he was hit by a car as a tiny kitten. We do squirty medicine every morning and night with a syringe. His newest bottle…
