This past Sunday at church, our worship band kicked off our service (and ended it) with a spirited rendition of "Go, Tell it on the Mountain". As we sang and clapped along and giggled at Henry's dance moves, I found myself asking this question - "What if we did go tell it on the mountain?" … Continue reading What if We Did “Go Tell it on the Mountain”?

Quarantine Cooking #9
Since I mentioned my love for my Dutch Oven, I'm highlighting a new recipe that I LOVED cooking this past week. One Pot Spaghetti Wonder Maw always served spaghetti all mixed together in one pot but I've always cooked my noodles and my sauce separately - not any more! Break out your dutch oven, or … Continue reading Quarantine Cooking #9
Things I’m Loving – December 2021
Things I'm Loving: The Advent Devotional from my church. I know I'm partial - I did edit it and put the final touches on it but there is a something so special about the way our church family came together to provide the content, each bringing a small piece of themselves into the devotionals they … Continue reading Things I’m Loving – December 2021
Spiritual Abuse, Toxic Cultures, and a podcast review of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill.
Over the last few months, myself along with thousands of others have been (im)patiently waiting for another new episode of the podcast "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill", by Christianity Today, hosted brilliantly by Mark Cosper.

One topic that continued to get pushed to the bottom of the list as world events happened and needed to be talked about is this thought - … Continue reading Self Care vs. Sacrifice
The Good and the Hard Challenge : December 2021
I'm reminded more and more that we are still in Covid times - but never more than when I see the ways that so many folks are out of the rhythms of church. I hear from people all the time who say things like, "I went to this church pre-covid but I haven't gotten back … Continue reading The Good and the Hard Challenge : December 2021
We Were Americans First
I have a very clear memory of September 11, 2001. I remember vividly where I was, who was with me, the chatter all around me. I can still hear my mom reminding me to pray for the families who had lost loved ones and I can still see my dad crying in his chair as … Continue reading We Were Americans First
