As a former evangelical christian who attended a Greek Orthodox high school, an Assembly of God university, worked for a non denominational church, and a current Episcopal member, (wow all of that sounds scary when I see it written out) I have been thinking a lot about how the different religious...

I would have to say I'm a pretty lucky girl, or rather forget the word lucky; blessed. You see there's this entire world out there, full of people of different backgrounds, different cultures and traditions, and a lot of them haven't heard about something that most of us can't imagine not knowing...

Tomorrow is part two of my music video. The first half was shot underwater but tomorrow will be the dance scene. I’m going to be very careful tomorrow because the last thing I want is a sprang ankle, cut or bruise. We only have one body, and I’m going to be gentle with mine. I…

I had the most perfect day. Let me tell you about it. I woke up from 7 hours of sleep. I went to the 99 cent store and bought snacks for the crew tomorrow for my music video. Then I got a Starbucks latte. Then, I went to McDonald’s and got an McGriddle value meal…

To brag about being unworthy as shit, is audacious as hope. To leave the enemy with no target to hit, is delicious as dope. Kill the self to cheat death of its sting, only Sauron wants the Ring. To a dude told us Sisyphus had it coming.  We failed to be in a place of…

Today for me healing looks like having a relationship with my dad that left me when I was not even 1 years old.  I try I strive to love how Jesus loved. And that includes meeting my father where he is at. Understand life throws curve balls at everyone and some are just not as…

As a teenager I kept a diary and would write in it for hours. About my day as a high schooler, my friends and crushes, my dreams, what I wanted to do with my life, what my husband would be like... and then all the sudden life got really hard. I stopped writing as I…

When I was first a Christian, I used to read about the time between the Hebrew Bible ending, and the New Testament beginning. There were 400 years of silence. God had promised a bunch. The Jews were waiting for a soldier King that would come to bring justice to their enemies, and build a kingdom&...
