What is UP?

(Warning, sarcasm alert!  If your sensibilities make saracsm difficult to swallow, please close this window now). What is up with the obsessive use of the Webster’s 1828 Dictionary by so many patriocentric families?  Are they aware that 181 years of language has developed since this dictionary was published?  What is wrong with my good ole’ [...]

A Father’s Day Tribute

Father’s Day has been bittersweet for me the past four years.  My husband has been a father for four years… but I’ve been without my father for that same amount of time.  I want to celebrate my husband and thank him for the amazing job he does with our children, but at the same time, [...]

An Explanation

I just wanted to take a brief moment and explain why I closed the comments on the Round-Table post.  It was my decision, though it was made with Jennifer/Cally’s consent.

Extravagant Worship

An Exercise In Submission

Sarah Mae at Like A Warm Cup of Coffee, recently wrote a blog post challenging women to say yes to their husbands for one day.  An exercise in submission. Now, submission is a touchy subject among Christian women.  Many of us have a hard time submitting to God and He’s perfect. Submitting to a human [...]

Do I Need to Recant?

I no longer believe everything I used to about Christianity or the Christian life.  Does this mean that I need to publicly recant for all the false beliefs I used to hold?  I have this fear that twenty years down the road, my Arminian-baptist-baby dedicating-anyone can baptise me-praise music-premillennial past is going to catch up [...]
