Sorry, everyone. Due to an unfortunate comment situation that happened yesterday, where some derogatory, inappropriate and very un-Christlike comments were made, I have now disabled anonymous comments, and enabled comment moderation. Not a big deal for most of you wonderful people who read this faithfully. For me, however… well, but I just never wanted to [...]

Living Life Without Expectations
Posted in lesson learned on May 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Photo courtesy of Lola Rodriguez over at stock.xchng.com My cousin over at in progress recently posted some questions about expectations… living with them, living without them, and all the frustrations that go along with a disappointment because of an unmet expectation. This issue occasionally pops up in my life in various forms, and I’ve never [...]
2007 – a look back

What I learned in 2007… HT to Barbara for the idea. I learned that God can change me, even when I least expect it. I learned that forgiveness isn’t about excusing the sin, it’s about saying the sin mattered, it hurt, and that I have to move on for my own mental health. I learned [...]

Tony Myles over at don’t call me veronica has a great post today. He set aside the last 8 days in order to deepen his connection with God. And he had some surprising results. It’s rare for me to single out an individual blog post, especially from blogs I list on my sidebar, simply because [...]

I was shopping at Target earlier and walking towards the check-out I spotted two women, probably in their earlier 40s. They were impeccably dressed and adorned with nice jewelry, both had the latest style of haircut; the epitome of a woman secure and happy with herself. They were standing in the children’s clothing division chatting. [...]

I’m procrastinating everything lately, and it’s not pretty. Unless it’s directly in my sight, taunting “finish me!” or “do this!” I’m simply ignoring it. I don’t know why, but what I’m discovering is that if I would simply do it I would save the energy I’m expending by thinking about not doing it. And to [...]

Read Myths 10-6 here. Myth #5 You have to go to church to be a Christian. How does the old saying go? “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in the garage makes you a car.” So what does make a person a Christian? Our involvement with God’s revelation doesn’t [...]

The inspiration for this post came from the link attached to the title of this post. I enjoy reading churchhop.blogspot.com each week. It’s a chronicle of a brother and sister attending different churches each week and sharing their experiences. Although I’m not sure about Brandon, Erica considers herself an agnostic and a while back posted [...]
Me + Sparks = Bad

Yeah, so the electricity in my house almost killed me last night. My good friend Suzie is staying with me for the next several days. She got in last night and after we’d talked for a while, I decided to be a good hostess and make lemon-poppy seed muffins for us to enjoy for breakfast [...]

Pride is a funny thing, isn’t it? It’s easy to spot the obvious signs. The cocky athlete that claims he is the greatest (ala Muhammand Ali) the co-worker who walks around correcting everyone else because their way is better, the the self-righteous church-goer who whispers behind the backs of others “You know what I heard [...]
