What was that, God? Sign or fluke?
Sometime I crack myself up. I’ve been pondering a big change in my life and have been asking God about it. Two days ago, I was reading in Deuteronomy about the hill country and decided that yes, this change was a little bit like heading into the hill country. So I read: “Break camp and […]
Biker Babe and a Mighty God
Sometimes I get scared. I’ve always wanted to get a motorcycle. I had one at 18 and loved it. Granted I starved it of oil and blew up the engine within two months, but oh wow, while I had it – I was a very cool biker babe. I’d still like to be a biker […]
Just call me “Paddler”
I need to dream big. Really big. My husband is off to climb a mountain this weekend. Its one of the tougher climbs and he’s been training like a madman. Jogging seven miles at high altitude, working out at our gym, gearing up for the big day. I need a big day of my own, […]
God’s Graffiti
I used to be a graffiti artist. It’s true. I’m praying that the statute of limitations on high school bathroom infractions has long past, but even if it hasn’t, I’m confessing it here and now. It was me. I was the one who wrote “Lori loves Billy.” “June-Bug was here,” and “Down with physics.” It […]
“Step off!” I say…
Sometimes I get grumpy and say things I shouldn’t say. Today I woke up from my nap and told my dog to “Step off!” He was chewing on my pinkie toe and I let him have it. “Step off, mutt!” I know. I shouldn’t have cast disparaging comments on his lineage, but that’s what happens […]
Had to share. Forgive my potty mouth.
Friendly warning: This blog is slightly disturbing and may be offensive to some readers. Please read on at your own risk. 🙂 I had no clue how to work it. I mean, they never taught me about this kind of stuff in writing class. Or in speech. Or even in geography. I think they should […]
A Romantic Weekend for…. Four?
It was perfect. Just me and my man… … and Simba Roo and Mad Max. We hiked up Barr Trail (7 miles) on Friday and set up camp halfway up Pikes Peak. We almost left the dogs at home, but the sheer joy of a worn-out Max too exhausted to jump or bark or nip […]
Mad Max, Bad Elsa
Our puppy drives me crazy. He nips when I want him to sit. He jumps when I want him to lie down. He eats paperback books for lunch and toilet paper rolls for dinner. We’ve done what we can. We’ve placed spray bottles in strategic locations around the house. We’ve watched YouTube videos on dog […]
I can worship… but I got no rhythm
I was the only white girl. And I loved it. I just spent the weekend with some amazing ladies from a small and vibrant church in Dallas. Yesterday we spent the day together for a conference and today they invited me to speak in their church service. They placed me front and center. I’m not […]
Itty bitty towels and God’s grace – a video thought
So I need your help. Here is my very first uploaded YouTube video. It’s only 4 minutes long and you all are the first to see it. Gulp. Be kind, but let me know your thoughts. Should I put this on my website as a promo clip? Find something else? Scrap speaking all together? Let […]
