    New Free Daily Prayers for Women E-Book

    Prayer changes things. I’ve heard this saying all of my life, and believe it’s true. Prayer is a beautiful way to connect with God and to pour out our cares to Him. But sometimes, I’m not so sure what to say. Daily Prayers for Women is a collection of newly written prayers to facilitate a…

  • My Understanding of Jesus

    My Understanding of Jesus

    Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know. Fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go. My forties have been a wild ride in more ways than one. Among other changes, I deconstructed (and now am reconstructing) my faith. My deconstruction happened because I was so in love with God. I wanted to know…

  • An Evolving Faith

    An Evolving Faith

    I’ve evolved a lot over my life. We all have, really. Just think about it. We’re not the same people that we were when we were born, children, teenagers, or even young adults. Personally, my body has changed a lot since I’ve birthed nine babies. Now in my mid-forties, I have wrinkles and aches and…

  • Late April Faith Ramblings

    Late April Faith Ramblings

    This month, I’ve read so much. Not so much fiction, but non-fiction, which is strange for me. I like to read stories…all kinds of stories. You’ll usually find my nose stuck inside an Amish romance, or maybe something else quite similar. This hasn’t been the case in April. I’ve read memoirs and so many books…

    Reconstructing Faith

    I’m up early this morning. Now that my little guys aren’t so little, I love to wake up at the crack of dawn to read, think, pray, write, and/or exercise. This morning we need to leave the house a little early for a guitar rehearsal. My son’s end of the year performance is next week!…

  • The Hidden Goddess of Christianity | An Introduction

    The Hidden Goddess of Christianity | An Introduction

    Spiritual living is something I investigate on a daily basis. In fact, studying religion has been one of my biggest hobbies for over a decade. At first, my study was confined within my expression of Orthodox Evangelical Christianity. As I began to see contradictions, my exploration moved into Messianic Christianity, then Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism, Pantheism,…

    The World is Very Good

    At the end of the growing season, I became neglectful of my garden. Oh, how I wish I hadn’t done that! I’m paying for it dearly now. Over the past few days, I’ve been pulling the remnants of so many weeds, which of course have gone to seed. I have a lot of work to…
