I’m Looking Through You

I’m back.  It’s been a while, but God laid something on my heart to write, so here it is.  I awoke this morning to a dream that I can’t recall, but the first thing that popped into my mind was the verse from Matthew that you will see if you make it to the end [...]

Things We Said Today

Do you live for this day, or do you live for that day?
It’s not often that I can sit through a church service or see something spiritual and honestly say it impacted me to a point of life changing.  Partially because we’ve watered  the phrase life changing experience down to something almost worldly; and it [...]

Hold Me Tight

This entry was written the morning after my mom died.  This was the day after I had arrived in Paducah, and just a few hours before I was to be at the funeral home for the visitation.  I really didn’t feel like publishing it on the day I wrote it.  I can’t really explain why, [...]

Birthday

This morning I awoke with the desire to worship in my heart.  I wasn’t sure it would be there, as it was absent from me last week.  I realized something very profound as I stood with my church family, singing to Jesus.  This morning, I was worshiping with my mom.  She was singing praises to [...]

From Me To You

By now, if you know me, you know of my mother’s passing last Monday.  I have been writing all week and getting my feelings out through my fingers, but this is the first post I have decided to make public.
Community
First of all, I am literally floored by the love and support from friends and family [...]

Paperback Writer

Sometimes, coming up with these blog titles are just too easy.
I was reading a magazine today and the article was about electronic readers.  Namely, the Sony Reader and the Amazon Kindle. These devices have brought ideas into our heads such as, ‘maybe someday there will be no need for library’s or bookstores’.  Its no secret [...]

Eight Days a Week

Eight days a week, I looooooove you. Eight days a week is not enough to show I care….Nothing inherent or philosophical, but powerful none the less.
Beginning May 17th, I started using Beatles songs to title all my blogs. I didn’t really think I would find a title for today’s entry; simply because I didn’t [...]

Twist and Shout

I hate that I am writing a post about Ike because I know I will be one of the many trying to “recap” the events…hopefully this post will leave the melodrama out of it and what I hope the reader to see will be seen clearly…
I chose to stay in my apartment and experience my [...]

Getting Better

I just came off of a very bad weekend.  Very bad indeed.  It actually started immediately after leaving Ethiopia, and has catapulted into a spiritual attack that I can hardly bear…This weekend, amidst the tears, prayer, pleading with God, and encouragement from mentors and friends who are fighting with me, I felt some rest and [...]

Help!

My, my, my…how this summer has flown by. Next week, I will begin in-service and the following week the kids will be back. I will be just as nervous as they will be because I will be at a new school, in a new position. I will be 9th grade Campus Support [...]
