Bridging the Gap
Oh! It’s an election year? I hadn’t noticed. But since it’s been brought to my attention, let’s evaluate a few things:
1.) Republican v Democrat: Voting Based Solely On Party Lines - I don’t know if you know this, but there has never been nor will there ever be a perfect Republican or Democratic political candidate. This form of voting is pointless and ridiculous....

Beauty
Is this what you think of when you think of “beauty”? If it is, you’re among many people. In the past few weeks I’ve been attempting to define its full meaning. And yes, this is a beautiful picture of a beautiful girl and she very much represents the word, but if all beauty is just this, what does a person have left when the wrinkles appear? Their skin begins to sag and...

Couch Potato
Here’s a list of shows I’m thrilled are returning for a new season:
Once Upon A Time - If you haven’t checked it out, check it out. For real.
Hart of Dixie - I’m hoping it picks up a little in the second half of its first season, but it’s still good enough to watch at the moment!
Gossip Girl - I know, I know. It’s my “stories” as Granny would say....

My Heart Is Home
In Christ alone my hope is found; He is my light, my strength, my song. This Cornerstone, this solid ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace; when fears are stilled, when strivings cease. My Comforter, my All in All; Here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ alone who took on flesh; fullness of God in helpless Babe. This gift of love...
