Mom mentioned the other day that she wishes my prince would show up soon. For some reason, that got me thinking about all the ways men are described when it comes to the men women want to marry. Prince Charming, beau, boyfriend, Knight in Shining Armor, etc. I don’t want any of those. Yes, I […]

Happy New Year!
When you read this post, I will be on my way to Tennessee for a conference, but I did want to make sure I wished everybody a Happy New Year. I am looking forward to the year 2015. Four friends are getting married between January and June and I get to help with two of […]
Holiday sales
Happy Thanksgiving! Today is a day for family, food, and football in many houses. Our family likes to be a little different. We aren’t having Thanksgiving with extended family. It will be us and two friends. We will have the typical Thanksgiving meal, though. But we will not be watching football. Here are a few […]
What NaNoWriMo Taught Me
This post was originally posted on the Vaguely Circular blog. I have only posted a portion here and the rest is linked to at the end. As of this writing, I am in the middle of NaNoWriMo. It is November 15th and I have learned a lot about myself the last 15 days. First, I […]
Salt and Light
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltiness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill […]
Christianity’s Dirty 10-letter Word, part 2
Last Friday, I wrote a post about submission and how it affects wives and how the word submission really shouldn’t be considered such a “dirty” word. Today, I am going to continue talking about submission and how it affects everybody, not just wives. What else is there? As I listened to Pastor Rogers’ sermon, he […]
Christianity’s Dirty 10-letter Word, part 1
On Wednesday, I heard part of Adrian Rogers’ sermon on “The Magnificence of Motherhood” and something Pastor Rogers said made what has always been such a huge debate in the church actually make sense. (Side note: the whole series Pastor Rogers is doing sounds excellent for anybody who is married or thinking about getting married). […]
I need your assistance

The Day Satan’s Plan Fell Apart
As the most beautiful angel in the heavens, I have it made. I am beautiful, powerful, and I even managed to rebel against the Almighty Himself, taking a third of His forces with me. It was a simple matter to further mess up God’s plan by causing the two humans made in His image to […]
The Day the Earth Fell Apart
For those who knew and loved the man, that night had been the most horrific act of injustice and cruelty they had ever witnessed. Criminals were often treated in much the same way, sometimes even worse. But what made this man’s trial and punishment so much worse was the fact that He was innocent. Even […]
