Live Into the Questions – An Out of Sorts Book Review

Posted on November 2, 2015

This year has been a year of book launch teams for yours truly. I think this marks #4 officially and I still have a couple pending that haven’t quite launched yet. As a result, I’ve read more non-fiction than I usually do, which has been a good thing. I signed up for Sarah Bessey’s launch…

Beyond Blessed

Posted on March 17, 2014

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how blessed I really am. This weekend was a good reminder. Here are just a few of the ways I was blessed this weekend!! I’m blessed to have a job that allows flexibility so I could leave work early on Thursday and spend a little more time with Elizabeth. I’m…

Stranger than Fiction

Posted on March 18, 2012

Have you seen “Stranger than Fiction”? This is one of my favorite movies, although not one I feel the urge to watch often. When I do watch it, however, it stirs my heart and mind and makes me feel more creative. I remember being a little girl and thinking that I was the character in…

Why Is “Religion” a Bad Word?

Posted on January 23, 2012

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…

Giving Up…For Lent

Posted on March 9, 2011

I’ve never been someone who has given anything up for Lent.  I’ve never really understood the custom, not being Catholic or really understand a lot about the whole reasoning.  I’ve always admired the people that choose to make the sacrifice, but have always, in my somewhat cynical way, wondered about the motives behind their sacrifices.  But…

Always be prepared

Posted on June 13, 2008

Through thick and thin, keep your hearts at attention, in adoration before Christ, your Master. Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you’re living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy. Keep a clear conscience before God so that when people throw mud at you, none of it…

Overly Blessed

Posted on May 30, 2008

Do you ever take a moment to look at just how blessed your life is? I don’t do it often enough. I spent some time today and yesterday reading the blog of a woman who found out her child would not survive the pregnancy. I read about the first time they told her and her…

Sunshine & Raindrops

Posted on March 20, 2008

Today is the first day of spring. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Seriously. The long winter that we just experienced is finally over. It seems like it’s been going on forever and a day, and it feels good to know that the days are getting longer, the sun will be out more, and the temperature may…

Anyway

Posted on May 28, 2007

Confession: Once I get songs stuck in my head, they tend to stay there for a VERY long time. Case in point – I have had the song “Anyway” by Martina McBride in my head for about 2 months. Sometimes it goes away for a few days, but as soon as I hear any part…

The Easter Chaos

Posted on April 9, 2007April 8, 2022

I work at a church, so I think I should be used to all the people that come out of the woodwork twice a year for Easter and Christmas. And, in some ways, I am used to the crowds and the way we make those two holidays huge at the church. But, at the same…
