Feelings on a Monday
As I bid Monday goodbye, I sigh a deep sigh, and I allow myself to admit the feelings that have eaten at me as the day trudged by. I feel… Uninspired when I want to be encouraging. Impatient when I would rather be showing love. Overwhelmed by the to-do list I haven’t even had to […]
Meditation Mondays: God is Near

The Sin Virus
Prepare yourself for a painfully honest view of my life this past week. It was not pretty. I toss Kleenex ® number 4,289 in the trash can, and I move my clogged head sluggishly around to survey the damage. Crumbs remain scattered on the table (and the floor and the counters, but whatever) yet they […]
Parents and the Dating Game
When I think back to how complicated and awkward life was when I first entered the dating scene, I thank God it’s over. No more lying awake at night, trying to figure out if this guy really liked me or not. No more fussing over what to wear or say the next time I saw […]
