Broken-City

Today, I’m guest posting over at the lovely Sarah Bessey’s blog on why I shared a deeply personal and mortifyingly honest story in the new anthology, Talking Taboo: American Christian Women Get Frank about Faith. I hope that ANY reader of mine knows that I understand community and vulnerability to be a key tenet of mutual healing.   […]

I’m so excited to guest post on Grace’s blog – and I hope you’ll find it worth your time to read it! (To make it easier, I’ll try to keep things short.) It won’t take long for you to notice that my writing style is different from Grace’s. She writes as the free spirit she […]

On this day on Lake Michigan it was 55 & very windy. I was REALLY cold. My friend, M however was enjoying the warmth of the water. Which pretty much proves it...different can be good.

After it’s all said and done, I’ll be with Jesus. After I have all these shiny daubles and red-bottomed shoes, I’ll be with Jesus. After I pour out my life as a drink offering, I’ll be with Jesus… You can read the rest of my Five Minute Friday post over on my patheos blog. ~ […]

Someone once told me when I start to worry I should take the worry as far it could go and follow it up with the shockingly insightful question, “then what?” Or better yet, “so what?” Let’s say I’m worried about how much longer it’s taking us to pay down debt than I hoped.  Taking that […]
