Happy Birthday Joni
It’s after midnight and before signing off from a day spent web designing my churches site in the warm glow of a 14-inch Macbook, I thought I’d head over this way to post a few weekend links but before I do, let’s all join together in sending big ol’ birthday wishes to Joni [...]

The Floor is Open

Date May 28, 2008

While I’m working today behind the scenes on the website for the church D and I attend, I thought it would be a good time to put a question out to everyone regarding what conversations you’d like to see here on the blog. I have some topics either already in the works or lingering in [...]

This Should End Any Doubt That She Is Indeed My Better Half

Date May 27, 2008

I don’t know how much the rest of the country and world is hearing about the recent decision by the California Supreme Court, extending the fundamental right to marry to same-sex couples but understandably it’s made it’s appearance on the front page of California newspapers more than a few times since May 15th court ruling. [...]

Weekend Links

Date May 23, 2008

Allyson over at Crossing the T wrote an excellent piece today on The Questionable Ethics of “Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin.” prolific Lindsey kicked it up posts on Perceptions, Labels, and Marginalization and Are Marriage Rights “Special”? at *! [Emphatic Asterisk] and Joni at Got Authenticity? wrote from her heart again with Like A [...]

Weekend Links

Date May 16, 2008

If you’ve been following my blogging patterns over the past couple months you’ve noticed there is no blogging pattern. When my head, heart and hands are all in alignment I write. When they aren’t, I’m looking for the best price on two-ply toilet paper and tossing the contents of the food pantry into a saute [...]

The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round, Round and Round..

Date May 15, 2008

A sharply divided California Supreme Court today legalized same-sex marriage, a historic ruling that will allow gay and lesbian couples across the state to wed as soon as next month and inflame the social, political and moral debate over gay unions. In a 4-3 ruling written by Chief Justice Ronald George, the Supreme Court [...]

My Nose is Running

Date May 6, 2008

I’d intended to have another blog entry up by today but mid-day I took a flight to the Pacific Northwest to spend a few days with my mom and so most of the day has been spent packing, departing, flying, arriving, and loving on mom. I pulled my laptop from my messenger bag only a [...]

It Has Nothing To Do With Being Chubby

Date May 2, 2008

I remember seeing the words “morbidly obese” on my medical chart for the first time when I was in the sixth grade. Though I didn’t fully understand what the words meant I pieced together it wasn’t good. No one had ever called me “obese” before, but as the biggest girl in all my elementary [...]

Sore Legs and Shiny Bling

Date April 29, 2008

Incoming metaphor! Stop, drop, and roll.
I’ve only entered two other races in my short “athletic” career. I completed a half-marathon a couple summers ago which turned out to be a miserable experience due to ridiculously hot weather that slowed me to a pace considered competitive only among potato bugs. By the time I crossed the [...]

Just Around the Bend

Date April 26, 2008

This weekend I’m in Monterey Bay for the Big Sur International Marathon and no, I’m not putting 26.2 miles on these precious piddy-pats of mine, particularly since the route follows Hwy 101 along the coast between Big Sur and Carmel making for one ridiculously hilly course. Instead I’m going to be sashaying my sweet little [...]
