Yesterday I had the chance to spend some time with my long-time friend, Beth. We reconnected after a God-given encounter at my church. It was reunion that has led to deeper ministry opportunities for both of us, which is why I cannot call this a “chance encounter.” It was truly a God-appointed meeting. I walkedContinue reading “Love in the Time of Vomit”

Palin’s Only the VP Pick, Right?
Is Gov. Sarah Palin running for President or running alongside John McCain as his VP pick? It’s hard for me to tell anymore since the media has been slamming the governor left and right (but the attacks mostly come from the left). Why hasn’t Joe Biden been under such scrutiny?

Bridezillas = Wifezillas
I felt like vegging out in front of the TV to watch something mindless (but not too mindless. I drew the line at “High School Musical: Get in the Picture,” a lame new “reality” show on ABC). I settled on “Bridezilla”, a “reality” show on WE (Women’s Entertainment) about brides who go postal getting readyContinue reading “Bridezillas = Wifezillas”
Big can be beautiful? Really?
Until I saw this news article, I had no idea that Mia Tyler existed. Captivated by the title of a plus-sized model who wanted to commit suicide, I decided to give the article a looksy.

How Guys Think
Maybe men really are from Mars… I was telling my friend, Jen, about how ridiculous I am when it comes to relationships with guys.
