I watched How great is our God with Louie Giglio. I cried. Afterward, I couldn't pray for a few days. I was lost with how minuscule we are compared to the whole of creation. As I saw the Earth fall away in the comparison chart of the planets I felt myself shrinking in my mind. When… Continue reading “If Earth were a golf ball”

The hanging tree
"I'm gonna go out on a limb for you." If you're like me, you may have heard those words spoken or implied by someone who took a risk in support of your idea, or, in you. Like many idioms in language, it makes no sense literally and the origin is often lost in history. Sometimes the… Continue reading The hanging tree
A small serving of Zombie
Here's a snippet of my first book Calling all Zombies. Chapter one Jacob pressed the phone to his ear, straining to hear the soft voice begging him to keep her secret. “Please, Jake. I have to go but promise you won't tell. Promise you'll keep quiet. I won't do it again. I… Continue reading A small serving of Zombie
Letting go of Life
These past two weeks have been like living life on a roller coaster of emotions. My ex-husband died on the 9th and since then, I have been faced with sorrow for his soul and anger that he chose to be selfish and reject his children. Sorrow knowing that the man I once loved moved out and on to… Continue reading Letting go of Life

I wish I could think of a Spicy story involving a Carousel that goes around as we Amble thru life. But, alas, I can't think… Continue reading Don’t remind me.
Storming the gate
Okay, in case I didn't say this, my sons are Walking Dead Heads. They love the show and keep me in the loop of who died, who cried, and who they wish would just get bit already. We like to tear the show apart and say what we would do in the event of a… Continue reading Storming the gate
Life on the Dash
Have you ever walked among the dead? I mean to really spend some time getting a feel for them. I enjoy walking among them, or rather, walking over them. The grass under my feet hides the 6-foot gap of separation between me and the decaying discarded shells. Many times in my life I have lived near… Continue reading Life on the Dash
Turn down the volume
"Jarren, turn off your game, and get ready for Church." I said in passing as I was putting my shoes on. "I don't want to go." I hear him holler from his room. "Why? I thought you liked youth group." "It's boring. I don't hear anything from God, and I don't even think He is… Continue reading Turn down the volume
Light to see by
Not long ago I was teaching my son Matthew how to drive. Yikes! Here in Oregon we have many gray days and I told him that he needs to always have his headlights on even during the day. At first he was a bit cocky saying "I don't need the lights, I see just fine.… Continue reading Light to see by
