Riding the updraft
Lately I have been sensing that I’m supposed to be waiting for God to move in my life. Which is all well and fine, but in the meantime, it’s only responsible to keep doing whatever I can to move things along, right? Only nothing I am doing is working. Even things I’m sure I’m supposed to be doing aren’t getting anywhere. And the stakes are … Continue reading Riding the updraft
Beautiful Outlaw by John Eldredge
This may sound odd coming from someone who writes and thinks about Christianity as much as I do, but I rarely read Christian books. I don’t even visit Christian sights and blogs anymore. Most of what’s out there is just the same thing over and over or people arguing with each other. So its not usually worth my time. The one current author who is, … Continue reading Beautiful Outlaw by John Eldredge
Godly Submission
Here’s my challenge to those Christians who promote a traditional view of women’s submission: If you would please point me to a place in human history when humanity has done a good job with women’s submission, then I can take what you have to say seriously. But no such example exists. Never has, never will as long as we’re trying to do it the same … Continue reading Godly Submission

Hey You Doubters (ie Hey Human Beings!)
When you doubt what it true – that God exists and is good and people are basically good and life is important and good and that everything turns out OK in the end – that just means that you cannot concieve of a way to reconcile what you are seeing with all those things you’ve been told to believe in. Which is completely understandable given the lives most … Continue reading Hey You Doubters (ie Hey Human Beings!)
Promote Yourself!
I love my dad, but he was the source of the worst bit of advice I’ve ever recieved (and unfortunately believed for a long time!). He told me that if you were really remarkable or doing something well, you wouldn’t need to go around tooting your own horn because if it was really that great, other people would notice it for themselves. Sigh. If only I could get … Continue reading Promote Yourself!
It’s Becoming a Wonderful World
OK, so after my little rant last night, I want to switch gears and temper the solemnity of the anniversary of 9/11 by taking a look at the amazing changes that have and are taking place that we should all rejoice over. Christians know and will sometimes actually say that Jesus won. But I don’t think many people fully appreciate how true that is. 2000 years … Continue reading It’s Becoming a Wonderful World
The Sheeple are Leading the Flock!
Let me tell you a few things about the Christian book/music/entertainment industry: 1. It works just like the rest of the publishing/music/entertainment industry. 2. It is a system which grants power, money and influence to a very few while the majority of people God has gifted struggle to get anyone to even LOOK at the fruits of their gifts. 3. It works 100% according to the … Continue reading The Sheeple are Leading the Flock!
Tolerance and Boundaries
I was talking with a friend recently and the subject of boundaries came up. Everyone she knows, my friend told me, struggles with setting appropriate boundaries with people. I told her that I am not perfect at it, but I do a pretty good job with setting boundaries. She wanted to know how I do it, but seemed less enthused when I told her the … Continue reading Tolerance and Boundaries
