This is not a test!
These last few weeks have been topsy-turvy. The highs and lows of life as a woman, mother, student, daughter, and Jesus follower. How does one really deal with the emotionality of it all? Sometimes it is just by listening to Skillet at top volume (and dancing), and other days it is gritting my teeth and…

Patience? What’s that?
“What do you love about Jesus?” was a question that my friend asked me yesterday. I had to think about that for a bit. These last few years I have learned about a new Jesus…not the one I grew up with, the one defined by man…but someone more infinitely beautiful. Someone who really loves. Someone…

What Else is There?
“If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t…

I can sit for hours, and often have to, and just watch people. Every color, age, and class seems to be represented. Each one has a story. Each one has…

Falling in Love…
I have been a christian for over 40 years. In that time I have had the opportunity to serve in ministry, be it as an MK (missionary kid), elders wife, counseling teacher, cook at the church camp or even being a missionary. But it’s only in the last 6 months that I have fallen in…

Love vs Truth?
People so often distrust christianity and through that, christians, because of the judgement they grew up with. And it’s true, I also grew up feeling the judgement, and the fear of being “left behind”. Any sin that one was caught in was something that drove a wedge between God and man. There was no grace.…

How is Love Abusive?
How is Love Abusive? IT’S NOT!! Love is NEVER abusive. Yet coming out, to a theater near you this valentines day, is an expected blockbuster…glorifying abuse, and calling it love! I remember the weeks before the book came out, and at the bookstore there was a big buildup going on. This book was supposed to…
