Oldie-but-goodie Nameless Post: Christian Surfing
You may or may not know that Adam & I are part of a ministry team here in Tucson called Nameless Ministries. We specialize in youth & young adult ministry, and we run retreats for youth & young adults, as well as for youth ministers, core members, and other volunteers. This is a post I [...]
Lord, make me humble. (Or, something I’m learning this Lent)
I have been called opinionated and forthright. I have been described as assertive, honest, and forward. Unfortunately, these are all nicer ways of stating the truth: I’m kind of a bitch (and by kind of, I mean, very much). For Lent, I’ve been trying to give up this kind of behavior, and my success has [...]
7 quick takes 12 (My Siblings)
It’s Friday, and I hope for your sake that I’m the only one with that song stuck in my head. Anyway, as per usual, Friday means it’s time for 7 Quick Takes, hosted by the lovely Jen over at Conversion Diary! After my last 7 Quick Takes (The Power of Positive Thinking) post, this last [...]
Note to self: It’s not a competition, Stupid!
I am enormously blessed to have many friends. Some of my friends have parents who were able to pay for their education. One of my friends’ parents even paid for their car, still pay for their credit card, and for their ticket home to visit. Some of my friends have bought houses already, and have [...]
7 quick takes 11 (The Power of Positive Thinking Edition)

By the Grace of God Alone
I’m starting to think that every single person in this country should spend time in a classroom. You know how Israel has compulsory military service for citizens? I want something like that for America. Not everyone is cut out to teach, but even the most challenged, most short-tempered person can cut out templates in the [...]
7 Quick Takes 10
My God, I’ve been doing 7 Quick Takes for 10 weeks. You know what else I could have done in this time, if I was sticking to things? I could be back in my old jeans, for one thing. Well, I guess that does it. By 7 Quick Takes 20 I’m going to be back [...]
Don’t tell me how to Worship
Well, my husband must be rubbing off on me, because I’m about to do some quoting. 1 Kings 19:9-12 There he (Elijah) came to a cave, where he took shelter. But the word of the LORD came to him: Why are you here, Elijah? He answered, “I have been most zealous for the LORD, the [...]
Mardi Gras
So, if you read yesterday’s post, which was a part of the Lenten Linkup over at Alluring World, you saw my self-congratulatory rambling on my Lenten theme, but I didn’t give any specifics. Well, believe me, my inner Martha wouldn’t let me get away with not having very specific, concrete goals, so here they are: [...]
