Life is too short to not be myself…
I’ve really been struggling lately… oh, who am I kidding, I’ve been struggling for quite some time now. I’m struggling with the “church”. The idea, the institution, whatever you want to call it. In the midst of all these struggles, the church where my membership currently resides, asked recently if I wanted to be “removed... Continue Reading →
Lord, Help me. Lead me. Guide me. Inspire me. Please. Amen. And so it is.
This morning I was honored to share the message with a lovely congregation nearby and I thought I'd share it with you here too. The scripture reading is from John 18:12-27. 12 Then the company of soldiers, the commander, and the guards from the Jewish leaders took Jesus into custody. They bound him 13 and...

Yesterday, DH and I visited the Auschwitz exhibit. It was so moving. The website said to plan for 120 minutes... they were a little off... we spent 3.5 hours there. I just felt like I needed to look at each and every photograph, listen to each story thoroughly. I owed it to the those who... Continue Reading →
It's Sunday again and y'all, I haven't been to worship in a church building in quite a while. Sometimes I watch online, sometimes I don't.

Here's a little cuteness to start your day. 😊 A long time ago I wrote a sermon entitled, "Do Hard Things". It was for a youth Sunday at a previous little church. I think there were maybe 8 youth and one of them mine. I got the idea from as book I read with my... Continue Reading →
So late yesterday evening, I had decided that I would take a moment to defend my last post from yesterday but you know what? What’s the point? Those who were offended by it didn’t really read it all the way through anyway because they seemed to miss the “we” and the “I’m done” parts so... Continue Reading →
This right here is why I’ve lost my faith in humanity… this is a pastor! It’s why my faith in the church is waning. This is what I’m talking about!! This is why I’m struggling! And it was a “Christian” friend who shared it in agreement! This is “spirit crushing” stuff. What is wrong with... Continue Reading →
I woke up this morning with a heaviness I can only explain as a great sadness, not for myself, but for the world. So many are sick and dying, so many are hurting, so many are angry, so many are misguided and so many like me feel lost and unsure and there’s even some who... Continue Reading →
You guys I am so ready for fall. I’m ready for cooler temperatures, sweaters, evenings around the fire pit, pumpkins, mums and just all of it. It cooled off this week and I’m so glad. It’s still pretty warm, but my walks are so much nicer and I have more opportunities to sit out... Continue Reading →
