Washed away

As I climbed into the… hot tub (let’s just call it what it is) I realized… … I’m free! When I was young, and even into my late teens and early twenties, I believed with all my heart that one day the Bible would be like the earth being flat. One day we would all just feel silly for having …

It starts with why…

Okay, so if you haven’t read On Fire by John O’Leary, STOP what you’re doing right now and go download it on audible. I don’t always listen to books on audible… but when I do, it’s because there is just something so dang special about hearing this particular story in HIS voice! I’m telling you, it will change your whole life! …

#MissionGratitude

I have to tell you, there has been something sitting so big on my heart over the last few days, and I think it’s perfect that I’m finally sitting down to put it to paper (so to speak) while I’m elbows deep in the flu. It’s gratitude. And yes, I’m even grateful to be sick right now. Because it reminds …

Who are you?

I spent some time this weekend talking about, and contemplating who I am, why I’m here and what it’s all for. Of course, being a believer myself, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on what it’s all for and I’m starting to get a sense of why I’m here. But the who am I part… That’s tricky. …

I’m afraid of flying…

I have to say I just laughed out loud because as I typed the title of this blog post I realized that that could be a heavy metaphor, man! I’m afraid of flying… Well, I intended for it to be literal. I’m sitting here in the airport, about to embark on a day’s worth of air travel, and it’s not …

Are you a Christian because your husband is?

It’s a fair question, one I’ve been asked more than once, and in a word, the answer is yes. In three words, the answer is yes and no. It’s a fair question because if you knew me before I was married, you know that I was NOT a Christian. I was an Agnostic at best- only willing to admit that …

Perspective without understanding…

Last night, after 9:30pm, I had a missed call and a voicemail from a friend who doesn’t commonly call late. Her voice was shaking in the message and she said she had bad news… Heart sinks. How bad? To what degree do I prepare myself? Is someone hurt? Worse? Someone sick? Worse? Acquaintance? Friend? How bad is it? With a …
