The Mirror Image

June 25, 2012

Michael Winegeart, one of my college business professors and a wildly successful man in his own right, told our class about something he called the “mirror image”. According to Winegeart, everyone has a mirror image. You can’t be without one. Your mirror image is that one ...

Sex by Design

April 14, 2012

I had this crazy epiphany yesterday, a radical paradigm shift in my thinking! But to make sense of it, I should start at square one. The environment and culture I grew up in echoed a recurring message to me: Sex is bad. As a result, I not only learned that there is something inherently ...

Expecting Prince Charming

January 22, 2012

Ladies, this one is for you. You know when you like a guy — like, REALLY like him — so much you’re willing to let him get away with “bad behavior”, maybe treat you less than you hoped for? Maybe you jump at his last-minute invitations, excuse him when he fails to ...

Lay it All Down [Nightminds by Missy Higgins]

November 1, 2011

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAr9mdb6Zdo&feature=player_embedded] Music has a way of expressing how we feel… stealing words right outta our hearts, better said than we ever could. Sometimes they pinpoint how we’ve been feeling or what we’ve been struggling with ...

Tribute to My Best Friend: My Husband

October 24, 2011

The Best Revenge

October 5, 2011

It ain’t heavy if you don’t pick it up. It sneaks up on you. Fine one day, you find yourself changed a short time later. You may have heard the story of how to boil a frog: Put him in cool water and slowly heat it up. By the time the little guy’s aware how hot the ...

Leading to Love or Be Loved?

September 14, 2011

“If you wanna lead the orchestra, you gotta turn your back to the crowd.” I’m a big fan of Pete Wilson. He pastors Cross Point Church in Nashville. He wrote a great post Friday titled “My Biggest Mistake in Ministry”. O Lord is this ever one I need to keep in ...
