Blah blah blah FOOD INTOLERANCES AREN’T FUN

You know that one understanding where you know that everyone’s life experience/ reflections are different that yours, but, most of the time you don’t think about that too much? “Yes” to this on my end, at least. But, every now and again, I will go into reflection-mode and realize, really, how individual my experience is.ContinueContinue reading “Blah blah blah FOOD INTOLERANCES AREN’T FUN”

Heart in tune

My brother has all of the musical stuff. He’s the one who bought me my ukulele. He’s the one who wakes up and goes downstairs to strum a few riffs through the orange amps in the basement. The other day, I walked downstairs, to where he was playing on one of his electrical guitars, andContinueContinue reading “Heart in tune”

Seven unrelated points in no particular order.

-1- It has been SO COLD here. And snowy. I keep hoping that I can bust out my pumps…and, day after day, there go my boots. Again. -2- I gave a talk at a conference this weekend.

But, to them, it is the oldest they have ever been. And they’re probably dealing with a bit of angstContinueContinue reading “So this is 29”

Easter/ Divine Mercy message

“What if,” and I said this low, almost at a whisper, “it never comes back?” “I was thinking about this at church,” I continued, “what if I’m just in the dark for the rest of time, and heaven feels super far away, and God stays silent, and…” “LIES,” he interrupted. And then he said theContinueContinue reading “Easter/ Divine Mercy message”

9 Books I dig

Snapshots of the life

Mostly from this weekend. Because who doesn’t love a good photo-log, right? Amiright? Here are some things I have been up to, in no order. No order at all. Saturday through Monday up in here… And that’s just positively that.

Michigan Weather and God

I realized a day or two ago that I’m often tempted to treat God like I treat the Michigan weather…which is to say, “Not all that trustworthy.” A few weeks ago, it snowed heavy, heavy snow. Then, a few days later, we had a warm weather spell, which means my heaviest sweaters were retired, andContinueContinue reading “Michigan Weather and God”
