Use Words If Necessary
During one of my online discussions in my New Testament class last week, one of my classmates made reference to a quote I had never heard before. It sums up how I want to live my life. It's what "oozing" is all about.“Preach the gospel at all times; use words if...
Why Do You Believe What You Believe?
I grew up Catholic. I went to Mass pretty regularly, my Dad never missed 8 am Mass, but only because I "had" to. It wasn't until I went off to college that I began to understand "faith" and "religion." Matters of faith were very "private" and just not discussed. I...
The Joy of Being the Wife of a Pastor
The accompanist at our church was sick yesterday, Ash Wednesday, so my husband was depending on me to play my instruments (oboe & English horn) during the service. He also needed my oldest son to sing at the beginning of the service. But there was one problem...there...
Rah-Rah!
What a day yesterday was! The day after you have been out sick from work is always crazy. Weeding through email, answering requests, re-prioritizing...it all makes for a very busy day.After a shower and a Wal-Mart pizza, homework loomed. I have two final papers due...

You Just Never Know
Today was a pretty busy day at work. I had several phone calls to make to colleagues whose names I mostly am familiar with on email. That's how the business world works I guess. Electronic relationships.One of the calls I made was to a colleague in Ohio. I knew her...
It’s Always Something
When a child loses their first tooth, it's exciting! A little messy, but eventful. For a child with a bleeding disorder it can be all of those things...plus some."Christian's" front tooth has been loose and oozing blood on and off. His teacher was a little concerned...
Finding My Groove
I finally feel like I can breathe. I hate to say I am "caught up" (because that is just asking for trouble) but after being out sick last week I am finally in a place at work where I know what is next, my house is in order again, and I am seeming to figure school...
The Work to be Done
"Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! We...
