Social Distancing Week 20…Literally Nobody Is Functioning Normally
Friday, July 31, 2020…10:16am The end of week 20. My husband said to me yesterday, “I feel like I am living the in the plot of a totally unbelievable movie.” I think that sums it up for me this week. That and this… We’re heading to the beach to find a piece of unoccupied sand…

Social Distancing Week 19…Running on Empty
This week broke me in about a million tiny ways. But in the grand scheme of things, they are all tiny.

Community With A Capital C…
I had the opportunity to “guest preach” at our church last weekend. In this super strange time where it seems many people are more interested in personal “liberties” or preferences, I had a whole bunch to say about the need for all of us to live with the common good at the center. I kept…

Social Distancing Week 18…Choosing Okay
Friday, June 17, 2020…10:03am The end of week 18. If COVID-19 were a person, he/she/they would now be considered a legal adult.

Social Distancing Week 14…Wear The Damn Mask!
For the record….I am totally pro mask wearing. Also for the record….if you are still refusing to wear a mask (unless you have an actual health reason not to), I am completely judging your decision as selfish and shortsighted.

Social Distancing Week 13…Kind of a Big Deal
By stripping away the people, pressures, and noise of the world, the man-child has been able to fully accept and own who he is and begin to claim his space in the world. It’s definitely a big deal.

Social Distancing Week 12…With Privilege Comes Responsibility
Friday, June 5, 2020…7:17am The end of week 12. For those doing the math, that is 3 entire months. For. The. Love. At about week 2.5 I made an intentional decision to step away from the 24 hour news cycle. It was essential to my mental well being. That all changed this week. With the…
