Why I Said Thank You on Every Single Facebook Birthday Message

Posted on

It’s been a long time since I’ve dusted off this ol’ blog. Password/hosting issues and a few other things made it more complicated. Plus, it’s a busy season and even though I want to write more than anything, I find myself tired of staring at a computer and out of words. But, I’m back. At…

Be Where You Are

Posted on

Confession: I don’t spend nearly enough time living in the present. Instead, I do a great job of remembering all the great things in my past or wondering and longing for my future. But, as for just living in the moment…I’m not so good at that.  I decided my One Word in 2012 would be…

Why Is “Religion” a Bad Word?

Posted on

It’s 1:15am and I just woke up from an insane series of nightmares. The weather is picking up outside and I have no desire to go back to sleep right now. So, I’m going to write this blog post – I will edit it in the morning and then post it. Lately there seems to…

Finish Year

Posted on

Last week, Jon Acuff, who is one of my favorite authors and bloggers, issued a challenge to his readers. His challenge was simple and crazy complex at the same time. He has decided to call 2012 his Finish Year. You know, the year where  we make resolutions that we actually keep and make plans we…

Who Do I Write For?

Posted on

Lately I’ve been struggling a little with the whole blog thing.  I really enjoy writing it.  It’s a good lesson in consistency for me.  But, I’ve been struggling a lot with why I write this thing and who I write for.  If I write for me……it’s personal, what is happening at that moment in my…

Sometimes I Believe the Lie

Posted on

I think confession is good for the soul, so this is about confession. Years and years and years ago, I was told a big lie by someone I loved and trusted at the time. I was told I was inferior, ugly, unlovable and not worthy. I was told I would never be beautiful, never be…

The Promise

Posted on

Over the weekend, I finished reading “The Shack.” I’m sure most of you have already heard of this book in some form or fashion. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the book, and some of it is probably there for good reason. However, that being said, I LOVED it. I readily admit that there…

What is with this weather?

Posted on

I haven’t really ever bought into the whole global warming thing – I mean, I know that we don’t treat our environment well most of the time, but I still don’t know that I ever really thought climate change, etc., was as bad as everyone said. But, it seems like the last few months has…
