Coming out of the dark
If it’s stuck in my head, you get it, too. Yes, I’m a fan. Or was a fan. Whatever. She can actually sing as opposed to, oh, say, Britney Spears? Haha Regardless, it is totally relevant. I think I finally bottomed out. I reached a point yesterday morning that I knew I was done…or undone. ...Read more.
Against the wind
I cannot be held responsible if a Bob Seger song is now stuck in your head. Party animal that I am, I went running New Year’s Eve around the community where I live. I have a 3.4 mile loop on some back roads where there normally isn’t a lot of traffic, so I can stay ...Read more.
Didn’t see that coming…
I don’t even know where to start. Suffice it to say, I am not aging gracefully. I didn’t really handle it so well when my hair starting graying. It took burning my scalp with dye (the same dye I had been using for a year) before I decided I was ok with going gray. Ok, ...Read more.
Stirring the Class Warfare Pot
We’ve all heard it ad nauseum, “The rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer.” It’s the big gun of the class warfare arsenal that politicians & pundits love to throw out to denigrate the prosperous in order to paint the poor as victims, most generally so the poor will vote for them ...Read more.
“I am new…”
I got an email from a friend Christmas Eve that contained one of those loaded questions, and so I decided to turn it into a blog post, given it’s length. If you had to summarize this year by significant events, what would it be? Let’s see, I started a new job. I finished my master’s. ...Read more.
Merry Christmas!
Luke 2 (New King James Version) 1 And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. 4 Joseph ...Read more.
Because it’s been so long…
I’ve been reading a lot of good stuff in my Google Reader lately. For a while I was sharing articles on Facebook until I had a whole bunch in one day, and then I decided I should just put them all in a blog post, especially since I can’t seem to sit down and write ...Read more.
Thankful today, and everyday
When I asked myself what I am thankful for, I keep coming back to the same conclusion. Everything. What do I have to not be thankful for? No matter what happens or has happened in my life, I am endlessly blessed. A friend posted Habakkuk 3:17-18 on Facebook last night: “Though the fig tree should ...Read more.
Yet not I
What do you like most about yourself? I don’t even know how to begin to answer this one. The dislike question was much easier. LOL Well, here goes. The things I like about myself, I cannot take any credit for because all of my “good” qualities are the fruit of the grace of God. I ...Read more.
A journey, part 2
“Lord, I am ready to do whatever you want me to do, no matter what.” That was a hard surrender, and it still is. But not as much, because as I was about to finish The Promise, our pastor challenged us (as in our congregation) to read Radical by David Platt. Not only to read ...Read more.
