  • No arms, no legs, no worries…

    I’m having a bad day today. You know those days? Nothing is actually wrong, but your attitude and emotions are just a bit off. There are just some days where all you want to do is cry. And you usually find ways to do so. Maybe that’s just a girl thing. Men don’t cry, right…

  • Why I like Macklemore’s, ‘Same Love’ …

    Let me start out by saying that this post is not meant at all to take a side, start a debate or make a conclusion about homosexuality. Seriously. If you’re looking for a debate, please go elsewhere. You won’t yield any arguments from me. This post is not about the issue of gay rights, straight…

  • Jesus Loves Porn Stars

    BuzzFeed tells us a lot of things. And sometimes they are flat out awesome stories. Like this story about Brittni Ruiz: Did you know that Jesus loves porn stars? Brittni Ruiz knows this. She was one. This is what I love about Jesus. He doesn’t care what you’ve been, who you are, or what you do.…

  • Calm My Anxious Heart

    I love listening to the sound of the ocean. For how raging and forceful the ocean can be, the sound of it can be such a calming force, too. The sounds any body of water makes is so soothing to me.  That’s why in the summer, as long as I am in ear shot of some kind of body of water,…

  • “So what if it does?”

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q77hyAJKphM What if your biggest fear came true? My friend and co-worker, Peter Gowesky, above, took this question and dissected it with our church just a few short weeks ago. He knows all about his biggest fear coming true. I hope you take the time to listen to this excellent message. I ask myself that…

  • The Total Trust Theory

    The Total Trust Theory When I was a little girl, I had total trust in Santa Claus. I swore by him. I never thought someone was more real. Every Christmas, I wrote out my wish-list and knew all I needed to do was get that list into Santa’s hands. I did not know how Santa went around to every…

  • The Table

    The Table I haven’t had much inspiration to sit down & write for quite some time. I’m not sure why. Partly because I’m a lazy bum. Partly because it takes a lot out of me to write. Partly because sometimes you’re in a season of life where writing simply doesn’t feel right. I try to…

  • The one with a bridge…

    It’s 5:30am and I’m happy to be writing, because I’m saddened by the fact that it’s been four months since I wrote. I call myself a writer. I’m not writing. I’m sensing a problem here. Okay … When you see train tracks, what comes to mind? I first think about the movie, Stand By Me,…

  • The one with a story…

    I’m reading this book called Epic where the author, John Eldredge, describes our lives as a story. We each are living an epic story, and our lives are only understood when told as a story. Humans love stories and we all want to tell our own. We are a story-seeking world. Here’s an excerpt of…

  • The one I’ve been meaning to write…

    You know that moment after a funeral is over when the phone calls, food and support just, kind of, stops? From the moment your loved one passed on leading up to the funeral, you’ve been overwhelmed by the tremendous support from others. Really. It’s incredible. But something usually happens a day or two after the…
