This is My Portion
Not too long ago I allowed my burning frustration with this season to boil over into anger. I thought about the many journals I have stored up in my night stand drawer right next to my bed. Pages and pages of letters to the Lord written over the last 11 years. Pouring out my heart, my dreams, my dedications… Continue reading This is My Portion
FLATTERED BY ATTENTION…WHY DO YOU WANT HIM? (Reposted from Ms. Mia Writes)
The last few months of my life have been riddled with sketchy and surprising behavior at best. That age old wrestle between the flesh and the Spirit continue to combat within me and sometimes it’s a day-by-day…moment-by-moment occurrence. In the midst of this battle I found my good friend’s blog post on the subject of… Continue reading FLATTERED BY ATTENTION…WHY DO YOU WANT HIM? (Reposted from Ms. Mia Writes)
The Root Digger
For the past several months I have been HARASSED. These pesky flying black bugs (other wise known as fruit flies) invaded my home over the summer and settled in as if they were paying rent! My roommate and I naturally assumed that once the weather changed they would die off and leave. Well imagine my… Continue reading The Root Digger
Church, Coffee and Communion
Sunday morning I found myself in church. Not my normal small fellowship where members surround round tables and dialogue about the most recent lesson on being an effective intercessor. But an actual church service with a worship team ministering and a pastor preaching and a place where actual member’s classes are held (at our fellowship people seem to just appear… Continue reading Church, Coffee and Communion

The film is basically about a futuristic world where earth is attacked by underwater sea monsters that seem hell bent on kicking our butts. So world leaders get together and come up with a plan to create… Continue reading Jesus vs. Hollywood (Guest Post)

Just Another Day After Work
I’m currently sitting in Panera, awaiting the arrival of my soup and salad. The perfect combination for an early fall evening. Although it feels more like winter with the first visitation of snow making its way to Cleveland, Ohio. So often I write about the past; recent life events that have had an impact… Continue reading Just Another Day After Work
Just Roommates
I’ve heard it said that married couples can fall into a “lull”. Sometimes the lull lasts for months… sometimes years. Subtly the couple’s relationship becomes based more on the kids and the house and their jobs than on each other. Their love for each other turns cold and they find themselves sitting across the table at dinner with only… Continue reading Just Roommates
