Each church body is just looking for a sin which they don’t feel guilty of so they can be superior, as if God is a bear and we must simply outrun our comrades to escape being consumed in the flames of Hell that inhabit the mouth of God. Continue reading
In the past, I have been religious. At this point in my life, I am no longer religious and have not been for quite some time. Many of you are aware of the things that the church has put me through. It’s hard to be religious and enthusiastic about a church that only tears you … Continue reading
“I’ve figured it out!” she exclaimed. “You know you guys were talking about how God can be all-knowing, all-powerful, and good? Well, I figured it out!” I snapped right in to judgmental mode. How special you must be to think you’ve got it all figured out. So after she told me how she made sense … Continue reading
“That’s for you,” she says, averting her eyes and avoiding eye contact. The lady thanks her and takes the tract a bit embarrassed. I was reading an article in the New York Times about how to raise moral children. In a study they did, a teacher demonstrated how to play a game and played selfishly … Continue reading

I was raised in a Christian home, in Christian school, and church and so was my husband. The only time I spent when the majority of people that … Continue reading
Today I saw another post on facebook about a politician calling for our God-given right to bear arms. My first thought was of Princess Bride. I do not think when they say God given they really mean that God gave them the right to bear arms. Or did I miss that in Scripture? I could … Continue reading
The family that I’m working with is going to VBS this week. When they were practicing songs for Bible school, he noticed that his Mom had changed one of the motions in the song and blurted out, “But Mom, you’re doing it wrong.” I had to explain that the sign in the song was actually … Continue reading
Shifting perspectives is something that I strive for everyday. How can I look at this a different way? How would someone else look at this? Where am I limitation-wise? What is currently keeping me from seeing this a different way? These questions have shaped every aspect of my theology and therefore my life. The root … Continue reading
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
