I’m 40! It’s a milestone birthday, but the truth is, I don’t feel any big shift. I’ve been waiting for it to drop, that je ne sais quoi feeling, I don’t know what, but it’s something. Yet I got nothing. I had a great celebration with family and friends, but that undefinable feeling that was […]
How To Wait In Season
I shared what it means to wait in season, and I told you how I waited for a new phone. But that wasn’t the first thing I waited for this year. After writing that post, suddenly I’m reminded of these short-term waiting periods that happened so far this year. I’m not talking about waiting for […]

I love musicals and while past experience has shown me how cheesy and badly produced some Christian musicals were, Journey To Bethlehem was not one of them. While they took artistic liberties […]
Stop Asian Hate
“You know what immigrants sound like? The passion of the Christ when they’re killing him. Disgusting.” Those were the words said to me by a man at the grocery store. Said so casually. Said so full of hate. I have been trying to write this post for a while now. The words don’t seem adequate […]
