Beggar By the Roadside

He sat there, day after day, blind. Then he heard that Jesus was coming close. His chance was now. Now was the time to do something? What? Try to get to him? Can’t. Blind. Try to get a friend to go get him? No one around.

He was desperate. So he shouted.

“Jesus, Son of David, have [...]

refocus

when my eyes turn on to me

my world gets smaller

i reach and stretch and seek to find

that which would make me feel greater than what i assume is real

i forget the broken and needy and starving

i think i’m the one broken and needy [...]

FREE online Women's Conference!

Here ye, here ye…. are you a pastor’s wife or a woman in ministry? Oh, yeah, you are… so, you need to join us for this!

This conference will uplift you, encourage you, and let you know that we are all in this together! I am so excited to help promote this and be [...]

Christian Celebrities. What?

I hate those magazines at the check-out counter, but I can’t help but read every title. Poor Brad and Angelina. They can’t get a break!

Oh sure, some of you are saying, “Ah they love it. If they didn’t live that way….” Or, “What do you expect living in Hollywood?” yep, I’ve said it too. Still, [...]

Before the Train Wreck

Yesterday’s post stirred some stuff up concerning confession. I mean, we ALL know confession is the way to go, but why are so many people confessing after the worst train wreck of their life? Why not confess early on when things get a little “iffy”?

Fred McKinnon posed this question:

COULD part of the problem be that [...]

I'm Irritated with Affairs

I found out yesterday that worship pastor Steve Fee had an affair. Really? Another one? Seriously?

It irritated me but not because he was/is some great worship pastor who’s written a bunch of great songs and now “owes the entire Christian world an apology” (which I don’t think he does). Nope, it irritated me because…

It was 1987...

I tossed out on the Twitter that I had writer’s block. A writer friend of mine (who edited my book and I owe him dinner or something but not by ourselves because that would not be appropriate although we would laugh a lot) Brannon Golden had this suggestion on my Facebook page:

That’s the Resistance talking. [...]

Kickin’ the Addiction

Raise your hand if you like sugar. I thought so. Me too.

But my body doesn’t.

Like 7 pounds doesn’t.

I know, I know, the scale shouldn’t rule me, but let’s be honest, it’s a clear indication of what is going on, or should I say going IN.

I like sugar.

Sugar makes me feel good.

Ah-ha! Now we’re on to [...]

My Church is Going to Kill Me

Just when I thought my church was safe, free from all harsh ideas, free from discrimination, and free from making me feel like a wuss and then rubbing it my face….. they came up with this for our All Staff yearly event called the Family Reunion.

Now, I know I don’t have to run in this [...]

Insecurity

I was simply drying my hair, getting ready to go the the All-Staff meeting at church. That means, all the staff goes and we listen to our leaders and what-not. I truly love going because I’m inspired and think my church is pretty rockin’, but that is not what this post is about. Nope. It’s about [...]
