Ramblings of a Non Conformist
The morning started like many others. Kids are up, time to get ready, shower, make breakfast, eat, clean up, and kiss daddy goodbye. It all seems so normal, so mundane, sometimes. But then this morning, in the midst of the normal, came a surreal moment that made me pause. One of the moments in a [...]
"Where is your good God now?" "I'm not religious, but will you pray for me?" "This is mother nature's wrath on climate deniers." There are so many misconceptions when "bad" things happen. Everyone wants to explain why, place blame, and throw off any responsibility for it. They also suddenly want prayer without the acknowledgement that [...]
Let's talk coffee and Jesus!
I am a sinner, not a saint. I am a woman with conviction, not uncertainty. I am a daughter of the most high king first, then wife, mother, and American. People want to redefine me, label me, shove me in a corner, and shut me up. I embarrass them they say. We carry the same [...]

Of course when you post a blog about something such as Faith God is going to test what you wrote right? Well that is the way it seems to happen to me. This blog post is just my thoughts as I work through them. Dad is in surgery right now. The day after I wrote [...]
Faith is very tangible to me. It is something I count as a gift which isn't too far fetched considering Ephesians 2:8, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--."This gift has brought me through life. I can't say I've lived [...]
Josh -the husband- and I are having a wee debate with our sixth grade Sunday School class that I wanted to share. It's been going on a few weeks now so it's about time I get my argument out. I've been listening and bantering back and forth with the kids, but it's high time I [...]
