Short Shorts: Why not?

I remember getting in the car with my makeup done and a green skort on. I felt sexy, and cute and exactly how I wanted to feel at sixteen years old with my first serious boyfriend. He looked over at me and shook his head giving me this wordless monologue in a single look. The first time I’d heard it from someone who could make me feel inadequate. Continue reading →

The Princess Bride and the Third Commandment

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 →

When are Christians going to realize the Bible isn’t proof for people who don’t believe it?

During this hiatus from my job, I have been reading and watching a ton of documentaries. Right now, I am frustrated with it. I started to watch a documentary that claims to show proof that an eternal God is more logical than the universe popping up out of nothing. While I am definitely not sold … Continue reading →

I am C. I am a Ch. I am Church hater part II.

Part 1 My niece came down for a few days this week. It’s monumental because she hasn’t been allowed to visit her grandparents down here for five years.

I … Continue reading →

After Mother’s Day thoughts from a genetic dead end.

It wasn’t as hard as Christmas, but Mother’s Day is not so fun. I get all kinds of hugs from people saying stuff like: I can’t wait until you have kids; or happy future mother’s day. My mother in law told me that she always wishes for a grand baby from me. They ask when … Continue reading →

I left my phone there today and the interview that I have is a phone interview. When I … Continue reading →

Suffer the Children

A politically correct complaint In a UC Methodist Daycare You can’t say K-i-l-l They say And he was h-a-n-g-e-d! What if they go home and ask what that means? He’s got to change the story. It’s the Bible… Fold your hands little children Let’s pray for what’s important Thank you God for our food, For … Continue reading →

The Gray Areas of Salvation: Universal Salvation

This is a series. Previous post cane be found here. This post was very difficult for me to write, as I have no experience with a universal reconciliation in Christianity to draw from. So, I ask you to contribute and critique in the hopes that I can get a place to jump from. Universal reconciliation … Continue reading →
