Dear Glennon, In an attempt to comfort me in the wake of my sister’s death, a friend gave me your book in which Sister is the leading lady and the most celebrated relationship of your life. While reading it I thought, how wildly inappropriate, how deeply insensitive of her to give me this book. Did …
give me jesus
find your inspiration. find the thing that gives you chills and makes your heart beat harder and tears flood your eyes. sometimes i can't remember why i do music. i can't remember why i ever wrote a song or sang it for anyone. and then i see something like this and i remember. today, this …
not a valentine’s day post
it's hard when there are more questions than answers. it's hard when life doesn't ever seem to sort out and wrap up in a nice neat package. and it doesn't, you know. i think that's why we enjoy movies and books that present conflict, a climax and resolution. all nice and neat. i do. enjoy …
uncatchy titles
I don't think i'm a very good blogger. I usually journal when i need to process through something and often it's darker than not. but that's why i process it - to get through the dark into the light, but it doesn't translate very well onto a blog and i have about 100 drafts that …
You Make My Brown Eyes Bluuuuuuuuuuue
I forget sometimes – how much I need music – I think the need for it was hardwired in me from conception. without it, i am an empty cold shell that doesn’t know she’s empty and cold, until the sound waves travel through the air and caress my face, my ears, my arms…

Day 21 of reading through the bible in 90 days. Finished up the life of David and feeling oddly disconnected. Maybe I'm sleepy. Maybe I had a hard time keeping all the names in the stories straight, but David had a hard, bloody life. I don't know, maybe if I took more time and read …
Samson. Scoundrel or Superhero? Day 17 Bible in 90
...maybe i've stretched the line a tad between made up superhero and one that actually breathed air and walked the earth, but anyone that has the strength of like 20 elephants, is surely a super hero, even if he does die in captivity.
Define Me! Define Me! no, but really.
guitarsallie. maybe it is the girl in the picture, clutching her brand new Taylor, with all the hope and passion in her heart that her bleeding heart songs would change the world. or maybe just that one person that showed up at the coffee shop last Friday night - October 1995. but i don't feel like that girl at all anymore.
When the Very Best Missionary isn’t a Missionary at all…
I went exploring and found her. My family went on the mission field when i was little and i have to say.... yeah. this is what we need. When did Christians start thinking that the only Spirit-led way of doing something was to fly by the seat of their pants, and that it wouldn't be …

Mourning Moses. Days 12-14 Bible in 90 days
Moses is dead. It was hard for me to move on without him. I know... that might just sound strange, but remember, when you love someone it's hard to move on. But before he died, he told the entire story... again. and i thought, now this would have been a good way to tell it the …
