Chaos vs Order
Some of us live for routines. We like unambiguous answers and we thrive in certitudes.
However, that isn’t always possible. And perhaps in our Lenten faith journey, if we would allow our certitudes to be challenged, we will find that we ...
“It’s On Them! Not Me!”
“Well Andrea, I’ve probably screwed up.” My clergy friend explained he’d frustrated a church member so much so that she’d left the church.
The first time she met with him he heard her concerns. She felt like the people on her ministry team ...
Does This Make Me Look Fat?
I’m not sure if guys do this, but some girls, myself included, do.
“Does this make me look fat?”
Recently I asked a friend that question as we were standing in the middle of a wedding reception.
“Really?” she responded. “You are asking me that ...
The 140 mph Car Ride
Last year right before Annual Conference (the yearly Methodist Conference at Lake Junaluska) I went with some friends to South Carolina, which involved a two-hour road trip. We were driving back late at night after a day of pottery making and ...
How to Kill an Air Plant
One would think that air plants would be very simple to keep alive.

After the initial crash there ...
Unplugged, Uncut, and Uncensored
We really have created a place of grace.
It was bound to happen. At some point it was inevitable that we’d let something slip.
Perhaps you’ll be disappointed (and I’ll apologize on the front end) but your pastor does use a few four letter ...
There are two types of families . . .
“There’s two types of families, dysfunctional and those that think they are not.”
“I just wish we could be like the _________ family.”
Words I heard a gentleman share with me years ago as he was lamenting about the estrangement of his ...
Seeing Love Through an Empty Snickers Wrapper
There was a homeless gentleman walking down the sidewalk in a large city when he noticed what appeared to be a Snickers Bar lying there. He bent over to pick it up and upon doing so the wrapper crushed in his hand. There was no Snickers Bar in ...
Calculated Moves
It was a calculated move on her part.
Running errands in the Target shopping complex she saw that PetSmart was having an adoption day.
OR - maybe she knew there was an adoption day thus the need to run errands in that same shopping ...
Finding Beauty in Ashes
“Susan and Peter’s house burned to the ground last night.”
It was a text I received on my last morning in Uganda. I knew exactly who they were referring to. Peter and Susan Stoltzfus Halliday.
