Okay. Sit down and shut up. I’m going to tell you a little story. Once upon a time, there was a man called King Nebuchadnezzar but everyone called him King Neby because saying his really long name sounds like you sneezed while making up a word…and you have a cold. (Actually, if you called him King … Continue reading
I’ve been perusing my old xanga site, where I blogged all through college and the beginning of my marriage. How fun it is to have a record of my thoughts going all the way back to high school (where all my friends blogged at diaryland). I was reading some stories that I had written about … Continue reading
Before we really get into the actual Seven Woes, where Jesus really hands it to the religious leaders, we need to explore who the Pharisees are first. For your reading pleasure, I give you Matthew 23:1-12 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ … Continue reading
Now that the second adoption cat is out of the bag, I can tell you that Alex and I have been running around the Metroplex like crazy people trying to fulfill all of the adoption requirements AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. We’re hoping to be licensed (ready to ask about kids) by mid-to-late August. I’m … Continue reading
I was a bit of a goody two shoes in high school. I really wanted my teachers to like me and, for the most part, they did (except for that one band instructor who didn’t like the fact that I was a loud participant in the mass exodus from his despotic rule). BUT, sometimes, I … Continue reading
Can I be honest? Whenever someone tries to talk to me about Revelation and their interpretation of the seven headed beast, I want to fall asleep or at the very least start scoffing (I’m a very good scoffer). I’m the same way with any conversation about dispensationalism. In fact, I don’t even know what that … Continue reading
Hey sweet girl- Did you know it’s been almost a year since we’ve started this adoption process? A YEAR! That is so long and we have so far to go, but this has been the most important, emotional year of my life- a year filled with inexplicable joy and heartaches. If we’re to believe the … Continue reading
Let me start with this picture: This basically sums up my experiences at the motorcycle bar. This man was wearing a helmet with horns and a mowhawk. He was carrying around something wrapped in a blanket. At one point, between songs, he unwrapped his shofar, which is an animal horn that was used by the Jewish people … Continue reading
I’ve only been to a bar once. It was in College Station and some friends were in town and everyone wanted to visit Northgate, the local bar scene. I presented a weak protest that I had nothing to wear- all of my brightly colored shirts and cardigans neatly fit into my “dress like a Skittle” … Continue reading
I worked at a homeless shelter my freshman year in college. Every week, I would make the trek from my dorm room to my car, which was like traveling from Dallas to Russia on foot, drive 20 minutes to downtown Bryan, and spend a few hours with some of the clients of Twin City Mission. … Continue reading
