Reason #342,937,140 why I’ll be a bad parent: I never thought I’d be that pet owner. You know, those people who are weirdly in love with their pets. For instance, one of my best friends in high school, Jennie, had a pair of annoying poodles who she was...

100 word wedneday: everything…

1 John 3:16-20 The conclusion is inescapable. Jesus asks much more of us than just believing right things. Our society compartmentalizes life: Work [here] Friends [here] Church [here] Finances [here] But our faith must permeate every aspect of our life. We can’t...

why i'll be a horrible parent…

I love my laptop. No, really, I love my laptop. When I take it to my Mac genius for routine checkups, I have separation anxiety and suffer from empty nest syndrome. I always joke around that it’s my child and she’s needy. I even bought a pink plastic cover...

fighting and feelings…

Friend: Why are you doing this challenge? You already live biblically. Me: No I don’t. Friend: Oh my gosh! Yes, you do. Living biblically is simply living like Christ. You do that. Me: No, really, I don’t. Friend [loud]: Yes, YOU DO! Me [louder]: NO I...
