Living Between the Lines

For several days, I’ve been thinking, praying, and yes, even worrying a little on what I should share with you in my last post of the year. And this, is what I think God would have me to share… I was scared of the dark for the first fourteen years of my life. I mean, [...]

Attention, attention please! I’m taking a quick road trip to Juneau, Alaska today to guest post for my awesome pastor/blogger/musician friend, Jason S. Go see what I had to say about “Anticipation.” Leave him a comment (it’s Christmas and he deserves a gift) and make sure you laugh at the rabbit! (You’ll understand that when [...]

Friday when I left work, I picked up Sadie and my suitcase from home and headed into the blizzard on I-40. For an hour and a half, I drove through the most beautiful, huge, fluffy white flakes of snow. Sadie slept the whole way, so I played a “road game” with God. I put my [...]

For some weeks now, I’ve been a bystander—a spectator—as many of my friends (Billy Coffey, Kathy Richards, Bridget Chumbley, & Jennifer Lee among others) have taken part in the Ten Dollar Challenge.

  For my Twitter girls, who wanted to see me all dressed up for the party, here I am!  Merry Christmas! And for everybody else, y’all have a Merry Christmas, too!

Every year at our Conference Christmas party, we have a devotion.  One of our esteemed pastors gets up and for twenty minutes tells cute “happily-ever-after” stories about happy children at Christmas and warm puppies and milk and cookies for Santa.  We all smile, clap politely, then go home.  Until Pastor Stacey Hilliard was invited to [...]

When I was in my early twenties, I rented a room for a short time from a lady named Susie. She was a pretty nice lady, but she had like ten cats. I didn’t really have a problem with her having a bunch of cats. The thing that bothered me was that she loved those cats more [...]

Today is our regularly scheduled Blog Carnvial! (Insert applause here, please.) This week, it’s being hosted by my favorite British expatriate blogger pastor and friend, Peter Pollock. Please visit the carnival at his site. There’ll be a veritable plethora of fantastic blog posts linked there. It’s a jackpot of blog posts on our chosen topic! [...]
