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 [...]
How to deal with your bitterness and bullies! A few life lessons for the new year!
I hear it all the time now; if it doesn't affect me I don't care how you live your life. It reminds me of the verse in the Bible, "every man did what was right in his own eyes." The problem with this thought is it's like a whale beneath the surface of the ocean. [...]
I get most of my ideas to write from life experiences, and this one was no different. My son asked me the other day what love was. "What is love?" We rarely sit and think about the answer because it is difficult to put into words sometimes. We hear, "all you need is love," "love [...]

Life is such a beautiful gift. As I reflect upon my pregnancies, remember in vivid detail the births, and celebrate the moments with each one of my children I realize that life is the most beautiful gift that God has given us. The fact that the world has so corrupted our thinking to believe that [...]
I want to talk about passion. Passion: "a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement for something or about doing something"-Webster dictionary. It seems as though our society frowns upon passion for things. The general lack of emotion and enthusiasm from our lobotomized society drives me insane. There are times in life where my heart leaps [...]
For a good portion of my life I thought all I had to do was say a prayer and ask Jesus into my heart to be "saved." The problem was that I kept asking Jesus into my heart to be saved, but I never felt saved. I can remember a few times asking on different [...]
