Hey there! You haven’t read my written word in a long time and there is one explanation. The ‘Rona. It’s changed my life.

Not Crying On Sundays Part 4: For the Bible Tells Me So
One of the biggest struggles we’ve faced even with Side A people who are affirming is the often said sentiment of, “You know, I know what the Bible says, but I just can’t not love everybody.” Or, “I know what the Bible says but I’m willing to look the other way, cuz hey, we all … Continue reading Not Crying On Sundays Part 4: For the Bible Tells Me So

The church has been celebrating their recent happy middle ground. "We can agree that you can be gay, we agree that probably won't change, but ACTING on it is a big, fat, sin." The church can congratulate themselves on this victory of practicing humanity while holding their self-appointed high moral ground, applauding themselves for being … Continue reading Not Crying On Sundays Part 3: The Forced Choice

Their phones had become a tiny gaming system, ironically unable to function as needed, for communication. Except our daughter’s. She used hers … Continue reading Unplugged
Screen Kids
This isn’t the first blog about the subject. I’m sure there are thousands out there. And this isn't a "here's how it's done" post either. It’s a struggle for everyone and I’m not sure there’s an easy solution, as much as I’d like it to be. Or I’m in too deep to see the … Continue reading Screen Kids
Labels
We all fall into 2 categories, labelers and non-labelers. Not so much that you are one or the other, but more that there are 2 sides of us. There is a side of us that craves labels. Not just for others, but for ourselves. Labels help us make sense of our world and help us … Continue reading Labels
