Looking For a Way Out

It’s 3:13 am. I’m a little mad about that. Personally, I don’t think God should be allowed to wake me up at this forsaken hour. It kinda cuts into my sleeping time.
Nevertheless, here I sit—all cloistered in my closet, just me and my computer, so as not to disturb the rest of [...]

A Unique Perspective on Abortion

Abortion was legalized in America 33 years ago yesterday. Consider this powerful perspective from someone who was there celebrating…and now is not.
SLIPPERY SLOPES REVISITED
A Second Wave Feminist Blows Out the Candles for Roe v. Wade
Twenty-seven years ago [this year, 33] nine black-robed men handed feminists a triumph that would try our souls, and – [...]

The Hall of Faith

Faith trips me out. It’s more elusive than anything and yet it promises more than anything at the same time. It’s definitely one of those things only God could have thunk.
And that’s the point: God. But I so often forget this. Instead, I get caught up in the notion that faith [...]

What is My Deal?

So.
I’ve got issues. Well, I thought I did anyway. Apparently the issues I’ve spent so much time and energy working through for 20-some-odd years were really never issues in the first place.
I just finished talking to my aunt—the one on whom I hung up the phone the day my brother died. She [...]

Unimaginable

As a PW, I occasionally have the privilege of catching a glimpse into the soul of an individual who looks perfectly put together on the outside.
Looks can be deceiving.
I hung out with someone today who’s background is simply astounding—”pain” is an understatement.
I walked away feeling incredibly sad. Totally overwhelmed. And wondering, “Why, God?”
But [...]

Clueless

Jeremiah. He’s an interesting fellow. I love the way he opens his book:
The Lord gave me a message. He said, “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesman to the world.”
“O Sovereign Lord,” I said, [...]

I’m Lost

No offense to God or anything, but I just DO NOT get the Book of Revelation. I’m really trying (again) to understand it, but as of yet, I’m afraid I’m just plain lost (again).
So, I’m analyzing the fact that it doesn’t make any sense to me and it occurs to me that the whole [...]

A Wounded Heart, Part 5

(Read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 or Part 4 here.)
OK, this story is getting long—not what I intended at the beginning. I’m going to wrap this up because I was reminded the other day that I don’t like writing. Why I started a blog, I have no idea.
Also, if you’ve read 61 [...]

A Wounded Heart, Part 4

(Read Part 1, Part 2 or Part 3 here.)
The looming white wall marked the edge of the cemetery where Daniel was buried. As soon as I saw it, it was as if something clicked inside that made if familiar, despite having been there only once before—when I was 3 years old.
I was nonchalant. [...]

A Wounded Heart, Part 3

(The story continues…read Part 1 here or Part 2 here.)
My parents, understandably, had no idea I internalized as much as I did. In fact, I didn’t realize it either.
So as not to overwhelm my sister and me with the gravity of it all, my parents decided we (i.e. my sister and I) would not [...]
