2018: A New Year/New Perspective
The Sound of Forgiveness
A submission for the Obsessive Writing Challenge — SIN: The weight of it all. The heaviness. The guilt. The consequences. Unavoidable and yet–undeniable. Sin. We step into the shallow water only to […]
The Curious Case of Me
No, I am not getting younger like Benjamin Button. I am definitely getting older, but the child in me still returns when I am around my parents. Please tell me that I’m […]
When Fear Eclipses Faith
This is a confession. Seems I’ve been doing this a lot lately, and the truth is, it is freeing. I know that I am not alone on this one because I see […]
Learning to Wear Your Faith
Did you know the Bible talks about style? I learned a long time ago that dressing up on the outside might make me feel valuable, but the truth is, you and I […]
The Path of Totality
“The Path of Totality”… There’s just something about that phrase that sounds astronomical, doesn’t it? Ā It fits the event so well–in both senses of the word, and it sounds like something from […]

Feeling Lost
It was a grand adventure. Ā For a young mom with two preschoolers and an infant, taking Daddy to the airport was a HUGE deal. Ā It didn’t happen very often, and the excitement […]
Looking for a Sign?
