Faith Walking
Fat Tuesday
I’ve been observing Lent for decades. At first out of habit, now out of want for more of God. But it wasn’t until the last couple of years that I heard about Fat Tuesday. Fat Tuesday. Not sure I really need to indulge all that much because I’ve been indulging for the last year so…
The LOST Gospel
Some People are Just Meant to be Alone… Those were the words Sawyer spoke on LOST last night. The words that touched the depths of my soul and continued my theory that LOST is a spiritual story, a journey to redemption. I call it the Lost Gospel. I don’t troll around on Lostie…

Triathlons, Marathons, and Insanity, Oh My!
Yep, I’m doing it! Not sure what exactly or when or even why, but I’m tired of the body I’m living in, the excuses I make and basically I just want to prove myself wrong. The self that says: I’ll never have the fit body I’ve dreamed about even though I’ve seen my overweight friends…
God's Not Interested in Your Happiness
That’s the word I got in church on Sunday. Now before I start a heated theological debate on prosperity and God’s blessings, stay with me and think about it. God may not be interested in our happiness because he’s more interested in our growth. Trust me, this is a hard pill for me to swallow…
12 Pearls of Christmas: Slow Down, Pray & Give Thanks
All Decked Out For Christmas by Maureen Lang One of the reasons so many of us love the holiday season is that it’s just so…pretty!
