Men, please answer!
How do men view themselves as being the Bride of the Christ? How do men view Jesus as their Romancer and intimate Lover of their souls?
I’ve posed this question before to Christian men, and I am so intrigued by the concept. As a woman, I am created to love and be loved, and be swept away by romance - and Jesus is the ultimate Romancer of my soul. I was made to yearn to be beautiful and...

Me: *talking to my little cousin Jon*: Jon, what are you asking for for Christmas this year?
Jon: Well....I was going to ask for a guitar....but a guitar is too big for me.
Me: So, what are you going to ask for instead?
Jon: A ukelele. It's my size.

Plagerism isn't good.
I’m the first to admit that I LOVE Audrey, but she did NOT write the “Time Tested Beauty Tips”:
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk...
Here's how this works...
I go on Tumblr, see all the recent posts on my Dashboards. That takes about, eh, 10 minutes. By that time, I think, “Hey, maybe there’s some new stuff on Facebook.” So I check that. That takes maybe 5 minutes. Then I think, “Hey, what about Pinterest? I haven’t been on that site for, like, 15 minutes. Maybe there’s new pins!” So I check that. That takes...

The Real Deal
The movies would have us believe that love is passionate and faultlessly timed and superbly scripted. They would have us presume that it develops quickly (ideally, in about ninety minutes, or enough time for us to finish our popcorn and soda), comes in a nice, well-dressed and perfectly shaped package, and usually involves some theatrical climax, preferably in the rain, where the heroine...

More of You.
I’m tired - so very tired - of this disease we humans are suffering from. It’s called self-absorption. Some know it as selfishness. Others call it narcissism. (I call it sin, and I was diagnosed with it many years ago, too.)
Facebook doesn’t help the problem. Giving us ample opportunities to post pictures and status concerning OURSELVES - our attractiveness, our brilliance, our...

My Soul Thirsts for You
Psalm 143 (ESV)
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness! 2 Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead. 4 Therefore my spirit faints within me;...
WatchThis. Can this be my life, please?
