Happy Early Father's Day, Dad!

by

I told you early this week that I am working on being “real.” So here it is, I am usually A TOTAL SLACKER when it comes to remembering Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Sure, I always pull through with the day-of phone call, but I never quite get the card in the mail in time. […]

Tough Conversations

by

Lately I have been “trying” to be “real.” I would never go so far as saying that normally I am fake, but sometimes when situations are tough, sometimes when relationships are frustrating, sometimes when life isn’t fair, I can be fake-ish. (I know, I know, that really isn’t a word, but why don’t you just […]

What Did You Just Say?

by

I am going to Bonnaroo tomorrow afternoon with a friend. As we bantered back and forth about what we’d need for the weekend, she asked me if I was going to bring a “book bag.” I said, “a what?” wondering why in the world I would take a bag full of books to a music […]

Viva La Vida

by

Last Saturday night, ColdPlay was in Nashville. And I went to see them perform at The Sommet Center. And as Michael Hyatt, would say it was a “wow experience.” And it was not just a “wow experience” because I had low expectations. My Birmingham friends had certainly built the experience up during long play-by-play recaps […]

One is Silver and the Other's Gold

by

Way back when, during my time in the Brownies (the pre-Girl Scout society) we used to sing this song: “Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other’s gold.” I never had much of a singing voice (actually I never had ANY of a singing voice) but those lyrics sung over-and-over […]

Legacies You Want to Leave Behind

by

Last Christmas when I was in Texas with my family, we went to this A-MAZ-ING independent bookstore in Plano, Legacy Books. Legacy Books was the kind of bookstore where you get lost in books. You wander around for hours and discovering new authors, exciting adventures, and gourmet recipes. You sip on lattes while browsing through […]

San Francisco Bound

by

On Saturday, I am headed to San Francisco and the Napa Valley. To say I am excited, doesn’t really cut it. I am elated, beside myself, about to burst. My traveling companion is a good friend, Sarah, who I have gotten close to since I moved to Nashville. This summer Sarah is moving to Chicago […]

Hurt People, Hurt People

by

This Spring in my Crosspoint Community Group, we have been studying a book called Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazzero. Big title, right? It’s a big study too. It is the kind of book that makes you dig deep, ask tough questions, and work through your issues – and let’s face it we all have […]

Summertime is…

by

It is really starting to feel like summer. (If it would only stop raining here in Nashville? I swear you’d think we live in a rainforest with the way the weather has been.) I love summer. I don’t love the heat. But I love summer. Here are 10 of my favorite things about summer: 1. […]

Meet Deva

by

Last week, before the Compassion Bloggers were even in flight to Kolkata, I sponsored a little Indian boy named Deva. Deva is 3 years old. Deva is 3 years old and adorable. Devi is 3, adorable, and he needs ME. (I am not going to lie, it feel great to feel needed.) He needs me […]
