Are these stories(found on a website of possible urban legends) TRUE or Christian urban legends? You be the judge! God relocates church: The story is about a congregation who wanted to relocate their church building. They had approached the owner of a desirable piece of empty land, but the owner would not sell. Subsequently, a [...]

As you may have guessed if you read my last post, my husband and I are indeed crazy! Not only do we win first prize for the speediest fast track relationship of the millennium(:, but we also freely embrace our quirks as you can clearly see in these pics from tonight(taken at my sister’s house [...]

On this Thanksgiving, I can’t help but think back to the moment my life changed in the best way possible, forever. Two years ago yesterday, my husband and I went on our first date! We went to Fires of Brazil, a restaurant I suggested, not knowing the tab would come up to over $100 but [...]

I must admit that I am a self-proclaimed Starbucks addict. I buy a vanilla or holiday latte(pumpkin spice or gingerbread) about three times a week and may get a plain coffee in between those days as well.

Like “Carpe Deum,” this medieval term challenges us to live life well but differs in that its focus is on living for eternity rather than today. Specifically, it explores the transience of life, [...]

I wrote this poem last week for a poetry class I am taking this semester. The style is reminiscent of Margaret Atwood, a Canadian novelist/poet who is one of my favorites! I like to emulate her! In the southern night you reserve minutesby the windowsill. It’s 8:30.This moment will pass you byor so you feel [...]

Rick and I got FREE tickets to see “Riverdance” tonight at the Fox Theatre! I’m sooo excited! As many people were, I was fixated with that show in the mid nineties when it was a new thing. I remember my sister borrowed a tape of “Riverdance” from the library and we would watch it obsessively! [...]
