We had a great time this morning. We spent almost three hours at Starbucks chatting with a couple that we met online. They’re on a similar journey to ours, and it’s so nourishing to sit with people who are on the same wavelength and talk about Jesus, Church, work, fishing, alligators, Jesus, legalism, Jesus, kids, [...]
My good friend submitted a comment on my post entitled “God.” I thought he raised some good questions, so I decided to make my reply a post where everyone could see it — perhaps there are others with similar thoughts and questions about my post and my intentions.
Tina, are you trying to engage [...]
I shouldn’t be writing on my blog today, I have a lot to do. But I just wanted to share about simple living and how counter-cultural that is. Jesus just wanted us to live this day and not worry about tomorrow. A book I recently read, the one with the provocative title that you would [...]

We introverted, less social-butterflyesque individuals often feel guilty about our tendency to either avoid certain large gatherings or hide in the midst of them. I think the reason we tend to feel guilty is because of [...]
Thanks, Jim L., for giving me YABT (Yet Another Blog Topic).
Jim is honest enough to say he just isn’t sure what fellowship is. And he’s wondering if anyone else knows. Well, I’m quite sure I don’t know, but I’m sure I have some ideas. I have ideas about a lot of things, in case you [...]
Jim tagged me to talk about three things I like about my Church. You know… this is just one of those topics that frustrates and fascinates me at the same time. I feel like the meaning of the word church has been diluted by misuse. Instead of Church, the living organism that is comprised of [...]
