Yesterday I created a new playlist on my Spotify. It’s a little-known fact that I have an extremely strange collection of playlists on my phone. I like to pick out common themes in the music I listen to, and this particular playlist came to me after I recalled some lyrics to an old Rita Coolidge…
I recently had someone ask me if I was married (again) yet and much to my chagrin, this made me think. I really don’t need to be married. I’m not waiting for a knight in shining armor to rescue me from some horrible existence as a single person. I have a king who rescues me…
As we begin to see the pieces falling into place, it becomes even more clear that there is a group of individuals out there who have been manipulating our society into a place that many of us never asked to go. There has been so much fighting about immigration and who is legal and who…
Recently, I saw this post on Facebook and I had to comment. My comment: I can’t get used to it, either. I learned to type about 36 years ago and I’ve been typing or keyboarding daily since then. Why did this change even occur? Is there some logic behind it? This didn’t seem particularly oppressive…
Over the last few weekends, I’ve noticed lots of posts from parents who were moving their kids into college dorms for the first or second or third time. My daughter, who graduated this past June, has decided to stick around for a bit and take some time to think about what she wants to do.…
I never liked politics, politicians, or the mainstream media. I spent the better part of my adult life avoiding the news and trying not to get caught up in all of the sensationalism that is pushed by the mainstream media.

Roe versus Wade has finally been overturned and I’m sure that most Christians and pro-life advocates are overjoyed at the news. It is, in fact a huge win for pro-life advocates, but will it bring about the results that they had hoped for? The fact remains that until we have good solid teaching for our…
Today, Rebecca, God wants you to know that to love is to be vulnerable. Love is the opening of the heart, the welcoming of your beloved. Loving is not secure, authentic loving is risky. Security lies behind the walls of a closed heart. You either invite the union by opening in love, or you secure the…
Matthew 10:14 (ESV) says… And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. When we aren’t appreciated, it begins to wear on us. I’ve written about this often and today, I want to talk about taking action. It’s a…
