Watch Your Mouth
I am not one to over use profanity. It will slip out sometimes. I have always thought it detracts from who I really am when I use a word that is vulgar. On the flip side I am not a prude. I will not wilt if someone says one in front of me. I have…

Broken and still Useful
Why is it that God seems to choose the sinner over the righteous to do his work? Isaiah preached naked. Rahab was a prostitute. The Samaritan woman was divorced…more than once…Paul was a murderer. Moses was a murderer and couldn’t talk. Noah was a known drunk. The chosen king David coveted another man’s wife and…

I am an Alien.
Sometimes I feel like an alien. It is like I do not belong on this planet. Then one day this restless feeling in my being made perfect sense. I am an alien. Not an outer space, green, flying saucer alien, but a spiritual alien. I am actually a spirit, a soul. My person-ness, my being-ness,…

Fake It Until It Happens
There is a story. It’s source lost in time. It goes like this. One day all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all the people gathered, however only one boy came with an umbrella. He had faith. Now we can’t all be like that boy. Sometimes situations make us doubt.…

Give Me a Break
Last time I checked I was a human being. I am not perfect. It was not me who walked on water. Why then do I expect things to be prefect for me? I am not perfect therefore my life is not perfect. We are perfect in our imperfection.~ Megan Mccafferty I make mistakes. I eat…
