I have a friend on Facebook who posted this today: “I was having conversation with one of my dearest friends earlier tonight over dinner when we got on the light topic of abortion (lol). If I actually had time, I would seriously consider bringing gifts once a month to all abortion clinics. I would hand…

I made someone mad again. It seems that upsetting people is my super power! In my defense, though, nothing I ever say is mean-spirited, derogatory or untrue – and I did apologize. But I have a way of saying things that are what leadership gurus today would call “Emotionally Unintelligent.” I remember when I worked…

I have a love-hate relationship with Facebook.

I haven’t done a blog in a while because I’ve been spending all my time studying. After what must have been a 10-year discernment process, I decided a couple of years ago to complete my education requirements for ordination. On February 17, I passed my ordination board interview and was ordained by the Evangelical Church…

One of the things I find difficult about church is it can be kind of feminine in its approach. If you think about it, much of the language we use in church certainly is not the kind of language men use when they are around each other. And I’m not talking about cussing or that…
