As some of you may know I am in the midst of my first home purchase. It is a new-build and so some of the fun was picking out upgrades and major decor items to my taste rather than walking into a previously owned home that needed to be upgraded room by room [...]

I’ve rearranged my schedule in hopes of being more productive. It seems as if I just can’t get it right. I like working on Sunday nights and Monday mornings– things are still fresh from the service and I’m able to make good connections week to week with the sermons if I start working on the [...]

I am constantly in awe of the people I visit pastorally. We have some absolutely wonderful and amazing people in the church and in the community.
There is a great strength and faithfulness that I haven’t experienced in quite some time. Truly elders in the faith to learn from. I feel very blessed to be here.
Holy [...]
A brand new day!

Wow! I’m still in awe that Barack Obama is now President Obama! Yesterday I watched the inauguration via cnn on facebook. It was awesome to watch and also converse with my friends who were also watching. I think most of us were crying with joy.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has been one of my “faith heroes” for a very long time. He was a hero long before he became my “faith hero.” Back in college one of my roommates would send me a MLK Jr. postcard to celebrate.
I was excited and nervous to preach about MLK Jr. yesterday. We [...]

Songbird writes, “Although written by a young man, this song from “Rent” became an anthem for women of a certain age ready to be taken on their own terms. Maureen and Joanne love each other, but they are *very* different.
Whether it’s new friends or new loves or new employers, what are five things people should [...]

I should be cleaning the Karrsonage. Today my youngest niece, Althea, and her momma are coming to stay with us. As usual our house is a disaster! Plus I need to do some pastoral visits today so it’s not going to get much better. I just hope that it is clean enough.
I can’t wait to [...]
The Westboro Church is at it again!

Good grief, the Phelps clan is at it again–trying a new lawsuit to stir up some free advertising, unfortunately me blogging probably helps them. ICK!
You can check out the latest here. I was shocked to see Westboro Church in our local headlines (sort of local–St. Joseph is the “city” that we head to when we [...]

Sophia asks:
1. Scratch or mix? Buttermilk or plain?
All of the above? Don’t really care as long as they are light and fluffy!
2. Pure and simple, or with additions cooked in?
Both–I’m terribly easy!
3. For breakfast or for dinner?
Both yet again!
4. Preferred syrup or other topping? How about the best side dish?
If we’re at home and having [...]
Strange dreams

I woke up from a dream in which I was a white woman with a bi-racial child. It was a time of war and a time of slavery. When other whites would realize that I was the mother to a “black” child they would shake their heads–you could see the horrible names and thoughts they [...]
