Do you ever have those weeks where you receive one piece of news after another, each piece individually being sad and discouraging but collectively they leave you in a bit of a haze? You find yourself staring blankly out ahead of you with no actual, specific thought process because really, where could you even begin?

What If You’re Wrong?
I heard this song on the way home from work tonight and it got me to thinking. But first, the lyrics to the song and credit to the artist.
“What If” by Nichole Nordeman
What if you’re right?
And he was just another nice guy
What if you’re right?
What if it’s true?
They say the cross will only make a [...]
The Last Day I Cried about Moving
It had been a particularly rough couple days at work. Rough for no other reason than we’d just come back from vacation and no one transitions from vacation into work seamlessly. We dragged ourselves through a work out and then headed home. I arrived home from working out first. Dorian was about fifteen minutes behind [...]
Sometimes, You’ve Got to Fall…
Sometimes, God takes my breath away…
Sometimes, He gives me a gentle little tap on the shoulder that sends me to my knees…
Sometimes, I am so overcome by His timing that the only response I have to offer is tears…
And sometimes, on nights like last night, He whispers into my heart with such a quiet, calm, [...]
It’s Not Suppose to be Like This…
I was reading a blog entry, the other day, of a young woman whom I’d had a class with once at Cornerstone. She and her husband had been pregnant for about 10 weeks, and had a very unexpected mis-carriage. And though I cannot relate to this kind of pain, in any way, my heart just [...]
Absolutely, Living and Loving
As I was growing up, I was immersed in all things Baptist. I attended Lakeshore Baptist Academy from Kindergarten through 12th grade. In Junior High, I began attending the church that this school was an extended ministry of. I became involved in just about as many ministries as were offered. Youth group (and all corresponding [...]
A Work in Progress
What is it about this weather that makes giving someone the benefit of the doubt such a simple task? I know it has everything to do with the fact that this weather completely impacts my entire demeanor. I feel more upbeat and positive. I don’t turn into Grumpy McMumblesalot the second I walk outside into [...]
California Love
I promise a more substantial post tomorrow…but I just had to comment on this:
I read an article today about the Miss USA Pageant last night. Miss North Carolina walked away with the crown leaving Miss California as the runner up. And apparently, there is controversy over Miss California’s response to her interview question. I’m typically [...]
‘Tis the Season
I have newly realized something that, I think, is quite pivotal in my outlook on this Easter season. It will forever change the height of anticipation I feel in leading up to the month preceding Easter. Would you like to know what it is I have discovered? Well, believe it or not, I’ll tell you…

What Kind of Phenomenon is This?
Could someone please help me understand something?
I feel like, when I go into a store specifically looking for something, I can rarely find it. I usually have to search through five or six stores before I can find something that hardly matches my criteria, but I’ll have to settle for it because I need [...]
