Spare
Like many Americans I have a fascination with the British royals. The idea of a queen or king is romantic to us because we don’t have one. Little girls want the fairytale. Unfortunately, reality is far from a romantic fairytale. I hesitated to read Spare because of what I thought I knew of Prince Harry…

Unexpected Adventure
Are you seeking security or adventure? How ironic! This is my first post in a series about books and reading. The first book I planned to talk about is The Hobbit!

My Jesus isn’t Like Yours
It is no secret that I am a different kind of Christian. I am transparent about what I believe. My Jesus is not like the picture of Jesus that is hanging in the Sunday school classroom. My Jesus does not have silky red and white robes with perfectly combed hair, a porcelain completion, and smiling…

My Favorite Thing About Me
What’s your favorite thing about yourself? My favorite thing about me is my decisiveness. It has taken work for me to become a decisive person. In the past it would take me a long time to make a decision. Often I would get overwhelmed and just let someone else decide. I used to hem and…
