My co-worker has her radio on today playing country. Funny how music can trigger memories. One of the songs was by Craig Morgan . I was reminded of a man I used to know who looked very much like him. He was a scoundrel, a scamp, an endearing mix of I want it, I don’t, [...]

Her
I’m incessantly curious about people, their lives, their relationships, their routines, careers, thought patterns, reasoning, the ‘why’s’ of who they are. I like to know the back story, to read between the lines and figure out why someone is who they are. Maybe that is why some reality TV is riveting to me, when it [...]

Skeptic
I wonder sometimes if there is room for skepticism. I’m not skeptical about all things, just some things. I wasn’t born like that, but I definitely learned it. I find myself not as easily trusting as I used to be, more careful in what I believe and what I allow to sway my emotions, mind [...]

Dragonfly
Maybe you have heard of the dragonfly effect, or the ripple effect. It is the theory that the smallest thing, such as the movement of a dragonfly’s wings causes a ripple effect and can affect something far away. I used to kind of be afraid of dragonflies because they are, well, bugs. They are quite [...]

Human Christians
Yay! Tonight is the Casting Crowns concert in Chattanooga. I’m SO excited. My lovely husband and I are going with a group of friends. First of all, it will just be a blast. Secondly, I love Casting Crowns because I think that they address some very real issues that are neglected by others. I love [...]

Weekend In Review
Saturday was a hysterical day. My adventurous husband and I went to a gun show in Timbuktu. Okay, it was south of Atlanta, but for us, that’s basically Atlantabekistan or something like that. Far, far away. I worked my tail off all week doing the computer stuff for Sunday so that I wouldn’t have to [...]

Homesick
I think that feelings are cyclical. Relationships are. With all things, there is an ebb and flow. Spiritually, for instance, there are times when I feel very close and intimate with God and times when I don’t. I know He’s there and in control and cares for me just like I know the earth is [...]

Immaturity
168! We just had our 4th official Sunday and had more people this week than any other. I’m so excited that we keep growing and that new relationships are being developed all the time. You know though, its funny how we can get so entrenched in our personal spiritual growth that we begin to think [...]

Is God Even Awake?
Yes, it is early. 4:45 in the morning to be exact, and I am awake. I just wanted to document that so that when I’m 80 I can look back while eating my oatmeal and see that there was a time in my life I was up this early.
We have load in at church (read: [...]

Hard Core Worship
Music is integral to my life. It is interwoven into all of my memories in some form as if it was a soundtrack to my life. Maybe because of this the music (otherwise known as praise and worship) portion of church is hugely important to me. Music moves me. It is like the moving sidewalk [...]
