- formerly Gabbing with Grace
Last week, I spoke for 125ish students at The Ohio State University. I am very ashamed to admit it was one of the first times in a long time that I felt completely prepared. I gave the message prep and delivery-practice adequate time. It showed! I was pretty nervous for about 8 hours until talk […]
Dave & I saw these dudes perform today. They are Gabe & Kirk of Kinetic Affect, masters of spoken word / slam poetry. They were some kind of amazing. Super deep. Awesome. Engaging, raw, challenging & over-the-top talented. I was affected. What struck me about their pieces was how real-life it was. They spoke of […]
On 9/11, I have a vivid image of my husband bounding into our bedroom, swinging open the door and yelling, “Gracee, wake up! We are at war!” My 1st thought, of course was nuclear war. I thought we had days, hours, perhaps even minutes to live. (I know I’m such a drama queen, but seriously […]
The genocide in Darfur is deteriorating. As, I looked at my 8 month old this morning I felt heavy-hearted as I considered what it would be like to not be able to feed him. I’m in awe of the women who love their kids so much but have to watch them starve. These women […]

(This would be beyond […]
You probably won’t have a hard time believing me when I say I often have to ask myself, “is this blog more appropriately expressed in my private journal or should I just click that “publish” button over on the right?” I guess this one fits into both because for some reason I’d really like to […]
I read somewhere the other day that The McCain Family -mom & pop- gave $1,800 in charitable giving out of their estimated $280k they made last year. I think that sucks. It’s less than 1% of their income for the year. And this is the dude most of evangelical America wanted for their prez? Shame […]
