(This blog, by far, brings me the most hits on my blog. Most of the search terms are related to nudity. If you’re struggling with a pornography addiction and want help, please visit http://www.xxxchurch.com.) I meet with a couple of friends every week to do a Bible study. Often our conversations veer in definitively non-religious … Continue reading
And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. (Mark 12:30) This was Jesus’s response when a tricky trickster tried to trick him by asking what the greatest commandment was. I’m sure that many of you have probably heard this verse before … Continue reading
Well, friends- Nothing exciting has happened this year. Check back with us in 2013. Love, Beth and Alex I’M JUST KIDDING. Gosh, you’re just so gullible. Yesterday, our pastor made us turn to our neighbor and talk about how we would define this past year. It only took me about .2 seconds to come up … Continue reading

God: Hey there, sister. How you doin? Beth: Well, this hasn’t been the best day. I should have listened to Alex when he told me not to read the Kindle in the bathtub.

There’s nothing we could have done differently: the seedy business park where we were renting was foreclosed upon and they changed the locks after church on Sunday. So, my church is homeless. Let me say that Alex and I have been looking for this group of … Continue reading
If I ever become a movie director, you’ll know it because of two things: 1) I will begin work on a red carpet dress that is made out of bath towels. To my knowledge, it hasn’t been done before and my years of Project Runway watching and curtain-sewing experience have proven that it is a … Continue reading
Man. There is nothing like moving to remind you that you need to be a better housekeeper. Every time our movers (AKA our friends who volunteered to help us move) picked up another piece of furniture, I was mortified to find out what was beneath. It looked as though we had purchased a small, hairy … Continue reading
