” Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.” – Zech. 4:6 The old apartment was smaller than my bedroom. A sofa that held three. A twin size mattress against another wall sufficed as another couch. Everyone else sat on the floor. There were about 12 of us plus [...]

Amazing Grace (pt. 1)

Did you ever have one of those days where all sorts of little things went wrong. Heck, I know you have. Simply put, today was one of those days for me. To start off, I had a dentist appointment that consisted of a root canal and two cavity fillings. My hot plate (aka: stove) broke, [...]

I have mass proportions of Seminary homework. I am putting off these mass proportions of Seminary homework. I am a 22-year old girl/lady. You pick. There is a lady in a sea green t-shirt and canvas Keds who is sitting across from me this very moment on a sunken, worn leather couch at Pikes Perk [...]
The Strength of Sacrifice
Posted in Books, Christianity, God, Uncategorized on August 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
“Sacrifices move people. They melt people. They stop people in their tracks…” “Think about it. Sometimes authenticity fails to grab people’s attention; compassion is occasionally written off as the opiate of do-gooders who may have some ulterior motive. But sacrifice, motivated by genuine love and concern, is extremely difficult to discount. It just screams for [...]

Formulas. We’ll call this blog, Formulas.” 11-hr. work day yet again. This evening, I rummaged through my massive bin of gear for my sacred hammock. I made myself some green tea with an extensive portion of honey and grabbed a book off my bookshelf. My original intention was simply to sleep, but I knew for [...]
“…with the measure you use, it will be measured to you”
Posted in Christianity, tagged God, Judgement, Judging, Love, Thoughts on December 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is the well-quoted verse from Matthew 7:2 on judging. Scary, right? I will be honest here…I’ve already racked up a good “measure” of judgement on myself. This freaks me out. It’s strikingly easy to have judgmental thoughts/attitudes. Sure, we shouldn’t judge people who are remarkably different from us; however, is it wrong to judge [...]

Some reflections… -Wasting my life is selfish, for it is a gift -Wasting my time is selfish, for all some people need is time…love -Wasting/holding back my resources is selfish, for some people could benefit -Not using/developing my talents is selfish, for they could be used for the greater good…God’s glory -I could ponder additional [...]
SO MUCH good.

Some people just have a way about them that is contagious. I’m sure that everyone knows those folks who have this impassable joy. I am incredibly blessed to have many of them in my life. I envy them. I don’t want to alter my personality per say, but I definitely crave a larger dose of [...]
Film Review: The Ultimate Gift (and other things)

I desperately need sleep as I have an early run in a few short hours, but I must take the time to reflect right here, right now. So tonight…picture me, Marissa Dale. Picture me in my obnoxious yellow jeep driving over the old St. Georges bridge with the moon shining as bright as ever and [...]
“Mercy is falling like the sweet spring rain!”

(Lyric from an eccentric worship song from my friend’s Pentecostal church when I was growing up…crazy good times) On a more serious note, my heart is breaking tonight. My last table a few nights back was a family of four…mom, dad, two girls. The girls were in their early teens, if I had to guess. It was [...]
