Outlets

Man, am I pensive tonight. I am an ISFJ according to the Meyers Briggs personality test. I need a place to place my emotions, since I supposedly rarely share them according to this profile. But, this is pretty much true of me.  : ) I have had many outlets within my life, most of which [...]

East Coast, you’re great.

Ok, I really do love Colorado. I’m just in a reminiscent mood…mostly because I’m craving real pizza. Here’s why you’re great, East Coast… 1. Yes, you greasy, perfect, thin crust NY/Jersey stuff crafted by real Italians. Come to me! 2. Italians. 3. WaWa. I’m still trying to figure out where to buy milk around here [...]

::Craving, Choosing, and Creating Community::

Boisterous individuals who love being around people, silent types who awkwardly keep to themselves, and every varying degree in between…we all crave community.  No matter the personality type, there is always a longing to “belong” and be a part of something other than self. Most people consider me quiet, and without a doubt I do [...]

The Strength of Sacrifice

“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 [...]

Derek Webb says the s-word.

He still loves God, and more important, God still loves Him. Just stating a fact here.  I sometimes wish I was better at writing debatable, intuitive blogs, but that’s just not me.  With that said, I will not be blogging on Derek’s brilliant, freshly released “Stockholm Syndrome.” Hmmmm…here I go again.  It’s super late, and [...]

what if ? ?

Today, I realized…

1.  I need to keep up with my pic of the week. 2.  I need to know the ingredients for the drink of the day. 3.  People will do anything for a free meal. 4.  My cousin has a way with words and should start publishing some articles somewhere. 5.  Water is pronounced “wooder” in [...]

snoring dog, churning stomach, ticking clock

It’s about 4 am.  No, I haven’t slept at all yet.  Am I crazy?  Yes, most definitely.   I have no specific reason for writing right now.  Actually, I do have reason.  I haven’t blogged in about three months.   Not much to report really.  Sure, I’ve had some enlightening moments and extraordinary revelations, but [...]

I will always like meat.

All my life, my sweet momma has always said, “Never say never,” so the same is probably true with never saying always.  I mean, just as one should not  say, “I will NEVER sit on a toilet seat without first covering it with paper,” one says, “I will ALWAYS place toilet paper on the seat [...]
