"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." - Psalms 1: 1-2 Struggling with spirituality? I started … [Read more...]
Are you afraid of the Big Bad Bolz-Weber?
Social media is a blessing and a curse. The part that is so difficult is the encounter with hate that is ever present when you decide to be a part of an online community. Anonymous hatred is infectious. It was with great delight that I happened upon this statement from Nadia Bolz-Weber, and it is … [Read more...]
Back to Joy
It is funny that no matter how hard we try, our natural inclination is toward entropy and disorder. Quite immediately, my "joyful" blog....or my search for "joyful" blog...degenerated into a platform to unleash every rant in my head. In theory, and to be fair, this did spell more joy in my real … [Read more...]
Outreach? Does everything really count?
Of course, I only blog when I get really feisty and no matter how many times I speak a truth, it fails to resonate with anyone or anything. If you have been to any Christian church, the word of every hour is "outreach." In my rudimentary investigation of "outreach" I googled the definition and got … [Read more...]
What Does A Christian Say To, “What’s Wrong With Make America Great Again?”
As with a majority of my posts, this post is in response to something that, in the moment I had no response to. Here is the story. We are at a church meeting that is brought about over the idea that we are all Samaritans. So, two of the 10 or so people there, posited that very query, "What is wrong … [Read more...]
Gutenberg and A Citation Lesson

How the Mormon Church “Ruined” Me….(wink, wink)
Ok...so if you thought this was the post where I was going to rail against growing up Mormon, you are wrong. But how can you say you feel ruined by the Mormon church and this isn't a post against Mormonism? Well, fool, because in this instance, it is the opposite. When I say I was ruined by the … [Read more...]
Knock knock, Judgey McJudger Here
Judgey McJudger is a fictitious friend who we often see about in the world. You know the person. My father would call him or her a pickle-puss. They are people who, instead of looking out at the world with a smile and love, they approach the world with a critical eye. Lately, the concept of … [Read more...]
Why I Remained Friends With My Husband’s Girlfriend
& why I am not any longer.... So, there is so much secrecy in the world. In fact, although I will publish this on my site, and it will go out to (I think 3) you via email, I am not going to publish in my normal fashion. Why? Well, mostly, I don't want to embarrass my husband. It is a silly care … [Read more...]
Midsummer*Litha*Summer Solstice + Full Moon = Power
So June 20th (yesterday) was Midsummer. It was the longest day of the year. From time immemorial our most ancient of ancestors honored this day, along with other holidays attuned to the wheel of the year. As you may have been following....I honor the Father, all the time. I attend a church that … [Read more...]
