Care to Walk?
This afternoon, I sat restless in the dinning room, wondering why I felt like escaping. That’s when it occurred to me that I had not ventured outside for some fresh air in the past few days. I decided it would be a splendid idea to go out for a walk and enjoy the sunshine; besides, the cool air would do my lungs some good.
Sadly, I was deeply mistaking. 30 seconds from the door I realized...
Oh, winter.
Oh winter, how cold you truly are! I can’t even stand outside a few minutes without feeling your grip reach straight to my bones. My finger tips freeze and my nose can hardly breath. Oh winter, how delightful that you’ve welcomed me home. Stuck in a snow globe, all pretty and white. This mischief is madness; I’m breathing out clouds, and slipping on ice.
Laugh all you want,...
Starbucks
NEW (none coffee) favorite: Peppermint White Hot Chocolate. Amazing!
All time favorite: Pumpkin Spice Latte. Hasn’t been beat.
White fields and naked trees...
I’m home, I’m home, I’m home!! Back to the small town for the Christmas season although there’s nothing small at all about my visit. Lots of hugs to give, plenty of family and friends to see, memories to recount and new ones to be shared. Wonderful dishes to be prepared and enjoyed together. It may be a lot colder, and a lot whiter than I remembered but there is much warmth...
Would you risk it?
theseer:
If a person doesn’t know you’ve done something to hurt them (maybe it was a thought, judgment or bitter sentiment in your heart, or an anonymous action), should you tell the person what you’ve done/thought/felt and risk offending them, in order to say sorry and ask for forgiveness (with no guarantee that they will forgive you)?
Would it hurt more for them to know about it, or to not...
Shocking
Monday I drove 16 hours from Nashville to Toronto. Was a pleasant drive with a little bit of rain. But having been away from Canada for three months then returning to it in a day has allowed much room for culture shock. The harsh, cold winter air made it so that I actually needed to put on my winter jacket. And seeing the French translation on every sign again put a smile on my face. I’m no...
Feasting is Biblical
I have to express my extreme appreciation for food. After extended amounts of fasting I have concluded that food is indeed one of God’s greatest gifts to man. Yes, I’ve learned that the Spirit is of utmost importance and comes alive when the soul and body are being deprived; but no amount of liquid could ever make up for one, warm, flavorful meal to satisfy your hunger. Amen.

Trying to decide between going to Onething down at @ihopkc or to Heavy Rain at @TACFChurch. Both would be tons of fun and I’d leave changed!
This is most often exactly how I feel when making important, directional, life decisions. All options are good, wondering what is the best… or are all options the best and it’s really up to you completely. Well, at least now I know...
