Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Ever noticed how so many Christians use the word ‘just’ in their prayers? “Lord, just bless this person/instance/organization……..just fill each person with your spirit……just have your way in this situation….” Where did this come from? Why do we say this? It sounds like we are limiting God, like we are only asking for this very... Continue Reading →
I had the privilege of guest blogging at Holy Sexuality yesterday for November's Body Talk series, here it is: When my children were just babies, it was already easy to see one way boys were different than girls; our girls would stare into peoples’ eyes and concentrate on the faces that were in front of...

My pastor is doing a sermon series on Jesus Personified, to help us to see Jesus with personal qualities. We read a passage from Matthew about how he healed a leper by simply touching him, an act that no one did because touching a leper greatly increased the possibility of becoming one.

I went inside and immediately had a strong feeling that I needed to be a part... Continue Reading →
My guy and I are leading a couple’s small group using new curriculum to strengthen marriages. So far it is going very well. We have a nice mixture of couples who have been married for less than six years, with young children and exhaustion, and the others are close to twenty years in, with teens... Continue Reading →

A Tale of Ambush by Sexist Feminists
I am tired of hearing that, because I am a woman, I must think a certain way or vote for a particular candidate. The notion that women should be allowed to think for themselves is certainly foundational to the feminist movement, but you would never know that listening to heads of various women’s organizations, prattling on about how women do not support Romney.
