Over Thanksgiving, my family went to go see the second Hunger Games movie. My mother, who is a beacon of pleasantness, spent most of the movie with her hands over her eyes. After the movie, we were talking about the parts that we liked and the parts that we didn’t and my mother remarked that … Continue reading

Fight the Pharisee: Woe Intro
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
And Then The End Will Come! {Book Review}
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
Thoughts from A Motorcycle Bar
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
Meeting Jesus at a Motorcycle Bar
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
Gratitude Project: Day 32
Man, I needed the Church today. Most of you have probably experienced church but many of you might not have experienced The Church. I’m not talking about “get your butt in a pew on Sunday”, “let’s pretend like everyone’s perfect”, “let’s sit around and talk about how cute our clothes are” church. I’m talking about the Church- … Continue reading
The Church is not a Building
My church got locked out of our building on Monday. 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
The Beth Show
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
Jesus>Religion
This is too good not to share. The words are below: What if I told you Jesus came to abolish religion What if I told you voting republican really wasn’t his mission What if I told you republican doesn’t automatically mean Christian And just because you call some people blind Doesn’t automatically give you vision … Continue reading
Saving a Stranger from Imminent Danger
I don’t know. Maybe it’s my old age or my big city ways, but my sense of personal boundaries has been steadily eroding since I graduated from college and moved to Dallas. Sure, it’s always been the case that if you say to me, “Man, I really hurt my back yesterday”, I will inevitably punch your … Continue reading
