She Talks to God

There’s a possibility I’m doing this all wrong. I like results, definite proof in my hand. I want to tell people about Jesus and then see Jesus in their faces. But if you live long enough, you know that’s not how this works. Life is a long game. Relationships are the hardened stones in the […]

A friend mentioned how hard it must be having a kid during the world’s current state of affairs. I laughed. I don’t worry about the world corrupting Ava. I worry about Ava corrupting the world. She is a force, my friends. There is a term. Neurodivergent. I thought at first it was another fancy way […]

I suppose it’s quite like an Elijah/Jezebel thing. Who am I, a mere mortal to stand in the way of money, power, and avarice? Who am I to tell a different story? The Gospel is the most amazing tale ever told, woven from the very beginning of time and still braiding together, thread after thread, […]

I wear black and gray and sometimes navy blue when I’m feeling a tad festive. I blame the fact that I wore a uniform for thirteen years, but I also like to say I wear the colors of my soul. Kidding, not kidding. There’s always a dichotomy within me. And I’m so keyed into it […]

ADHD. It’s the non-existent thing that is very existent. At least in our lives. I used to be one of the naysayers. Even as a kid when I knew a few friends who were supposedly hyperactive, I always thought it was a copout. Their parents were horrible people who just couldn’t handle the gig. Oh, […]

Yesterday, my head exploded. Brains everywhere. I’ve been been thinking on the concept of God loving everyone. “Love is love” is something we hear, but what is love in terms of how God bestows it? Does he truly love everyone? In this Real Christianity podcast, we learn that God is benevolent to all people, believersContinue reading "The rock of offense."

My skin isn’t perfect. My skin was perfect for a pretty decent amount of time in my life (back when I was the Team Britney campaign manager) and then one day, bammo. Adult acne. At the ripe old age of thirty-three. Like my Dad said on my thirty-third birthday, “Hey! You’re the exact same ageContinue reading "Skin deep."

When I was an atheist, they started building the ark. It was really a wildy funny notion that I liked to poke fun at in my head. But then of course I became a believer a year later, and I knew in my heart of hearts that Scripture was the infalliable word of God. ButContinue reading "Dinosaurs, of all things."

I am in the valley. And not the bad one where vultures are circling and dying to stab out my eyes with their…beaks? Do vultures have beaks? I don’t know. I only went to private school for a million years. But a valley no less. I am grateful. I say it over and over again, […]

I’ve been doing this all wrong. In my own self-centered way, I’ve been raising my daughter in my image. I’m not good at the letting go, the giving up. The watching as control slips its hand out of my own. She’s not me. And I am not God. I’ve had a renewal in my faith […]
