where my heart and His Story collide
23 years ago yesterday I answered, “I do” to a question that seemed basic enough. But, oh my word... how little did I know then all of what those two simple words would eventually call me to. Marriage is wonderful and covenantal and intimate and protective and chock full of some big blessings... but, it’s… Continue reading But, God and The Meet Up
Favorites are funny. No rhyme or reason, sometimes fickle and flimsy, but they remain favorites all the same. And, love stories? Well, we all love a good love story. Our favorites keep us filled with the hope that good wins in the end. I bought a sort of frame once that said, "Our love story… Continue reading A Favorite Love Story
Yeah, so it's been a sweet, hot minute since I posted a thing. For many reasons and not super clear reasons (yet), I've just been unable to transfer thoughts to words that seemed worthy of sharing. I'm praying for a breakthrough. But, today, I came across this little something I wrote last year to kick… Continue reading Love and Florida State Football

With a capture we thought we had him. With the charges we chose to blame him. With an… Continue reading With His Death
Dedicated to Weapon... We break. We’re broken. Death splits wide open hearts we never seem to mend. Death of a dream. Death of a love. Death of the ones we will dream of, Yet, never to hold here again. Left limping and wounded And, torn all apart. We search for the why, We sit in… Continue reading From Death to Love
I think I’ll just lay it all out here, today. Yep. Why not speak some (not so lovely) truth in (this month of) love? I think it’s overdue. So, the truth is this blog business is kinda hard business. See, I keep going over and over in my mind and on my keyboard these ideas… Continue reading It’s True Love, I Tell Ya
He was in the beginning, yet born as a man. He's on the throne with God, yet died as a lamb. He held the hand of his mother, yet holds the whole world. He loved unto death, yet no sin He performed. He is Risen, yet was raised like the worst of criminals. He is… Continue reading Fixing Our Gaze
