Broken. Abused. Used. Where do I begin... After my last blog (view here) women have reached out to me. They've told me pieces of their stories and poured out their hearts. It wasn't something I expected, but I am thankful for their honesty. I'm thankful for their trust, and I hope I can continue to [...]

Sin is Sin is it Not?
There is a pervasive lie in our culture, especially in the Christian culture, that says, "sin is sin." The inference quite simply being that we all do it daily, all sin is equal, and it is no big deal. We tell people who have made habits of sin that we are no better because we [...]
Starbucks
I fully realize the recent Starbucks "Christmas" controversy is Internet contrived (and Christians aren't really up in arms about it), BUT I had to put my two cents in anyway--just in case anyone thought there was a war on Christmas going on at Starbucks.
Faith
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 [...]
Ungrateful!
I wanted to take a small break from my regularly scheduled programming (i.e. the next blog I'm supposed to write on Family Planning) and write a quick note about a few verses I read today. The thoughts come from chapters in Luke as Jesus is teaching about a wedding feast and a great banquet. These [...]

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 [...]
“I Asked Jesus into My Heart.”
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 [...]
“Bless, and Curse Not”
It is funny how and when inspiration strikes, but I have a little story about the bit of Romans 12 listed as my title. Just a few quick thoughts. I'm driving home minding my own business when the lady in the car ahead of me slams her brakes, and then proceeds to veer into the [...]
“I Am”
As I perused the Internet I found an interesting comment made by a man who said, "Jesus never claimed to be God." I realized then that I have heard this argument before. Several times actually. You see not all people accept the fact that Jesus was not only the Son of God and Son of [...]
