For some reason today I was thinking about a time when I was Music Director at Elizabeth Chapel UMC. It’s been a few years ago now. I absolutely loved that church and its members. One day we were warming up to sing the anthem, when I looked up at my choir. All their faces were […]
So, my Bible Study is in the hands of an editor. (Yay!) A real, live person who is finding all my mistakes and showing me girl, you might have been writing for that past 7 years, but you don’t know how to write. Ahem. Yeah ok, I usually have editors for that kind of thing. […]
Yep, time-stealers.

Nope, I’m not going to tell you to go out and preach the Gospel. I find that some of you can, and most of you are pretty uncomfortable doing it. But the cool thing is we can show Jesus through the way we live. I was at the doctor’s office a few months ago, a […]
