I’ve found that most of my readers, or at least the ones who comment regularly, tend to be women. As such, I was THRILLED to receive an email from Nick who expressed interest in submitting a couple of guest posts. Even better, Nick is an extremely talented writer (just check out his bio — wow!) […]
I knew that I had to share this story with my readers as I totally teared up while reading it earlier today. (But then again, what doesn’t get me emotional these days? I cried while watching the newest episode of House last night.) As my readers can testify, pregnancy is not all about unicorns farting rainbows. Take the […]
My sister sent me this video along with a note that read, “I know you’re already hormonal, but this is guaranteed to make anyone cry…” And you know what? I totally bawled like a baby watching this video. It reminds me of the first ten minutes of Up, except this is a true-life story as […]

ETA: Some of the comments on the YouTube video page can be upsetting/offensive to theists. I personally praise God […]
I read this story on WithoutWax.tv and I had to share… * * * * * Emotional Whiplash Whiplash is a word I’ve used more than once when describing the emotions I often go through as a pastor. Yesterday was a difficult day. I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I […]
This made me tear up… I unfortunately do not have any toys I can pass down to my children. I always preferred books over toys and never developed an attachment to any particular item. There are, however, many many many books that I’d love to read to my children in hopes that they will love […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
