Finishing Well
Today I did something I really never thought I’d do: I “retired” from running. What does that mean? Well, it really means that, for the foreseeable future, I will no longer be enrolling in races like this. The above certificate is from the Plaza 10K event in Kansas City, Missouri. This was my second time…

I Speak Jesus
This blog has been a few years in the works… since even before I had this blog. The Lord finally gave me the release to write it, so we get to see how this goes together. My brother and I grew up in a Christian household. Our parents got saved when we were both very…

You’ll Always Be…
I know I’ve talked about my bestest friend, Esther, before, and I’m sure you all remember. We started going to our church’s Bible school at the same time and sat next to each other on the first day. She forgot her Bible and was called on to read a passage. I passed her my Bible…

3AM Thoughts
Have I had 3am thoughts before? *shrugs* Either way, here we are. You know it’s funny, people say that you should live as if there’s no tomorrow. And I get it. “Live your life! Do the things you want to do! Do them now! Don’t wait.” Even Jesus said that tomorrow isn’t promised to us.…

I Survived Survivor (Or, A Lesson In Friendship)
I know what you’re thinking. How could you possibly survive a game that you’ve never been on or even seen an episode of? Funny story… buckle up. It’s a lot of a long story… almost a decade and a half long… For the past 13 years (so basically my entire adult life), I’ve been following…

A Facilitator
The Lord has been teaching me a lot about myself in the past few weeks, and the biggest lesson I’m learning is that I have an overall calling and what I’ll call a “seasonal” calling. It wasn’t until last Saturday (before the apocalypse– I mean, the eclipse) that I realized my “seasonal” calling is simply…

Be Careful…
I might be lying if I said I never post in an emotional state, but this one feels like a “breach of protocol” in a way because my ire isn’t specifically directed at myself. Someone else is involved in the emotions. So I will try not to lay blame or do anything like name-call (though…

Good Things Come To The Persistent
This is a longer story post. Get ready for a ride. 😉 I love Planet Comicon. Anybody who’s spent more than 5 minutes with me will automatically know that. Even if there’s not one celebrity there that I want to meet, I still go, just to be a part of it all. This year however,…
