Spiritual Bites for the Weary

  • still searching

    The only thing we want is to be lost inside of beauty for our souls to feel safe in silence for something sure to know the way the water moves the path of sunlight fading the mysteries the wind shares to enjoy now to see people as people yet see the divine in their eyes Continue reading

  • Happiness, Now

    Every once in awhile, I like to write a list of what  I am currently thankful for. I know it’s a little early for thanksgiving, no matter, it’s more about perspective on how blessed my life is. So, here goes in no particular order. Sitting on my futon in the evening drinking earl gray tea Continue reading

  • God’s Gravity (Or, Stand On Your Head)

    My life has typically been nothing but typical. I can’t understand some things, but I know whatever I understand that matters is not even understood by my head anyways. I know that I, like every other human being in the world is not completely together, in pieces, broken. Things are missing: who I am  is Continue reading

  • To Those Who Will Rise

    Let the words come tumbling out from backstage Unrehearsed as they may be Metaphors awkwardly fumbling Tripping past understanding Let the young ones speak their minds Crumpling scripts in defiance Let the ones who’ve lived, be Let them have their silence Cause its a long way to the front row it’s along way here so Continue reading

  • Jesus wants you to change the world…politically?

    In honor of election day, I am re-posting bits of a blog I wrote right after the news that Obama won the election, intertwined with some of my current thoughts. I hold to my stance that if we really want change in the world, we need to focus on the Kingdom of God, not what Continue reading

  • Autumnal Face

    “No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.” (John Donne) Lately, I ride my bike to work, slowly. Pacing myself over large bumps in the sidewalk. Counting squirrels, feeling the morning coolness. Wishing leaves would turn brilliant colors instead of just fading to crackling dead brown. I Continue reading

  • My Epistle (From Bitterness to Forgiveness)

    *Please note, this is not written to one particular church or group, this is my experience as a whole. Dear Church, I feel like I need to write this letter to you or I will explode. I need to express a few of my honest feelings and opinions in hope to make amends. First of Continue reading

  • Dizzying Carousal

    I have decided to sporadically release some poems from my book, partially in order to work up motivation to re-do and re-market a better and newer version. Enjoy, and give me some feedback. 🙂 Dizzying Carousal Somehow, beyond this crumbling garden wall We see the world through the same colored lens You laugh like a Continue reading

  • Green Tea Toast

    I am sitting in a Panera, down the road from Six Flags, close to the new neighborhood I will be inhabiting in a week and a half. Arlington, TX. This northern girl has finally caved in. When I decided to attend Teen Mania after High School. I never imagined I would in Texas, three ministries Continue reading
