I have long admired you- your heart for the orphan, your humorous-without-being-demeaning writing… but I mostly admire your big earrings. I have watched you tackle hard subjects, and do so with fairness. But I’m at a loss over your post yesterday about the horror in Orlando. The one that stated: It is very difficult to accept…
I have taken my show on the road and recently got to visit with the students at Lighthouse Christian Academy. I love and can relate to high schoolers on so many levels but the best part about them is their willingness to just say what they are thinking. So we talked about sex. A lot. Not…
In the past, I admit, I have judged Jonah. What a navel-gazing, self-absorbed jerk, right? He intimately knew God’s character- you know, that part where He describes Himself as “gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love.” The part where He eagerly forgives those who repent and turn from their wicked ways? But Jonah knew better…
Finally. A rare, spare kid-free moment during the horror show we call Summer Break as a mother of four. Because I am a “yes” woman, I have about 15.75 plates (one was sadly chipped, short story) spinning currently and they all needed some attention. So many plates require copious amounts of caffeine so I was dutifully in the…
I attended a conference on ministry this week that included a session called “Living in the Tension,” which was designed to guide us in ministering to gay peoples. Like most areas of the country, that’s happening here in the Great Northwest on occasion. The discussion reconfirmed a couple truths. First, when people tell you that…
In the comments I’ve made mention of my spry, red-headed editor. But this woman, let’s just call her “Frau M,” deserves some direct recognition. Let me state this plainly- this blog would be b.o.r.i.n.g if I were working alone. This is how it goes with us: I crank out an uber-serious, way-too-heavy post and send…
“Mom, are you still looking for Yuki?” I can’t help it. Even though my cat of fifteen years has been gone for nearly a week I keep hoping that she will come home. In every room of the house I find myself looking out the windows, pressing my face against the screen so I can…
In response to “Is being gay a sin?” lcamyopinion writes: I am trying to get you, rather than make judgments about my gay friends, to walk in their shoes. …You condemn them to a life of being alone. If they pursue their love you call it evil. You would prevent them from forming families of…
Are you saying being Gay is a sin? If this is so I would imagine a Gay person would find this prayer offensive. Being Gay is not a sin. Unlike your lesbianfriend I am finding it hard to respect your right to believe homosexuality is a sin – have you posted on this topic –…
“You sent me the link to your blog, and I knew I was never going to open it,” one of my closest friends who falls on the other side of this issue told me. It was reported that a family member said something to the effect of: “I just began reading a few words of…
