Edited to add: I have to start out by saying that this post was saved as a draft quite some time ago.  So, we obviously know who won the primaries by now.  But I still feel the same about all of what I said, so I’m posting it.  I’m not sure what I had hoped [...]

Did you feel it?  There was a 5.4 magnitude earthquake at 11:40 a.m. PST.
The quake was centered in Chino Hills, and major aftershocks were centered in Chino Hills, Yorba Linda and Diamond Bar.
There is a one in 20 chance that this was a foreshock to a larger quake, according to CBS2, but we are more [...]

I’ve been in Foursquare churches all my life.  And while I know they’ve always been amazing churches, I’ve never had the same experience I’m having now.  What I feel for my church is very hard to explain.  I probably sound like I’m talking about a cult but it’s not like that.  This church has just [...]

I have the most amazing parents in the world.  I love them for so many different reasons, that listing them is quite a chore.  They’ve stuck by me at some really hard times in my life.  They’ve also taught me a lot about marriage and love.  In fact, they just celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary [...]

I thank God everyday for my husband.  A marriage is a special relationship that one could not even begin to understand without having experienced it.  A best friend of the opposite sex doesn’t count.  Living with your significant other doesn’t count.  There’s a strange mix of love, friendship and commitment (for life) to that other [...]

I have a few friends who want to be parents, really badly.  They had a little girl named Grace that was born prematurely, and they lost her.  They’ve undergone numberous infertility treatments.  It just doesn’t seem to be working out for them.  Now, we all know God has a plan but, obviously, sometimes it’s easy [...]

Anyone who lives in this world can understand how important friends are.  I have a rather extensive, varied set.  And I love each and every one of them.  Whether we’re talking friends from high school, friends from youth group when we were young, or biker friends, they all mean the same to me.  I cherish [...]

Thank You, Lord for forgiveness.  Without it, and Your Son’s sacrifice, on the cross, where would I be?

My husband and I have been under heavy spiritual attack lately.  Our relationship has been in jeopardy and I’ve been having mini nervous breakdowns at work.  I also got bronchitis out of the blue.  These were all spiritual attacks.  It’s easy to recognize because every time I/we get closer to God, something like this happens.  [...]

I praise God for my freedom. I’m blessed to live in a country where I can worship God freely… At least for the moment.  I know it seems like more and more things are slowly being taken away, every day.  And tolerance is spreading.  But not true tolerance.  It’s funny…  You can be gay, straight, [...]
