On this website, I haven’t often written about weekend adventures or posted pictures of friends. Blogs have been personal but in a vague way that leaves out names, faces and locations. It just has. Those readers who know me in real life and more than just as a Facebook friend know those details, those stories, … More I li-li-like here?!?
It’s not new information to most of us. Love God, Love Others. Jesus’ famous words, spoken the night before he was going to go through with the greatest sacrificial act of love for all of humanity, the one that changed the world forever. Love God, Love others. Everything God had been doing since the beginning of time and … More Love God, Love Others: Not on my terms
If there’s one thing about which all Atlanta residents complain in unison, for a season, as much as or more than traffic, it’s pollen. The icky, green dust that covers everything for weeks and the allergens lurking in the unseen molecules that are the cause of headaches, sore throats, sneezing and itchy eyes, sometimes too much for even … More I bought myself flowers today.
The music started playing, and I smacked the snooze button as if it had done something to personally offend me. Hello Morning! You’re suppose to be my favorite, but starting you is always rough. I was cold. The covers warm. My pillow was comfortable. I reached to turn on the light, but getting out of … More I don’t understand what I do?

Maybe it’s because I taught a Bible study to teenagers on James 3 and the power of the tongue. Maybe it’s because I use a lot of them. Maybe it’s because I’ve heard or read some that have changed … More .words.
I rarely-to-never plan on making bad choices. I don’t sit down with my calendar and schedule when I will do something stupid, say something I regret or act in a way that isn’t in line with who I hope to be. I just don’t. It would be silly. It just sort of…happens. Sin happens. And … More Location Matters

Middle schoolers are ridiculous. They just are. And awesome. Especially awesome. The words that come from their mouths with boldness and confidence are sometimes absolutely absurd and can come at the most inappropriate times. It’s fantastic! Their questions, comments and confident remarks are a result of their attempts to experiment with humor and assert their … More You can’t make up stuff like this. You just can’t.
No one likes to be told that. For your own good. Any sentence that starts or ends or includes anywhere that statement…well, it’s just annoying. Really annoying. The kind of annoying that sometimes evokes the well-I’ll-go-ahead-and-do-it-anyway immature attitude in even the most logical among us, especially when we disagree about whether or not it’s good for us. The book … More “For your own good…”
I use to have a long-sleeve, light blue workout shirt. It was of those non-cotton things that was great at keeping me warm when it was cold out and cool in hotter weather because of the material. The color coordinated well with other workout clothes. And it fit perfectly. I loved that shirt! One of … More That blue shirt
