We are "Not Just" who we seem to be on this Earthly plane, but so much more. We are ALL children of a loving God who is calling us home to Love. This blog is dedicated to those of us on that journey together…
Here’s the thing, it is easy to see and to judge other people’s faults and wrongdoings. Super easy. So easy in fact we might assume that we are better than they are… you know, less “guilty”, “annoying” or “wrong”. When we look at ourselves we have a difficult time finding real fault… and even when …
So what, you messed up? You say you feel like a filthy piece of garbage at the bottom of a dumpster in the back alley behind a sleazy bar? You feel like a loser? You feel like trash? Before you throw away the rest of your life… before you give up on your future… before …
When we open the door to darkness we welcome this darkness into our lives and into the lives of those closest to us. Once this door is opened there is a force of evil that will beckons us to step into it’s shadows! The darkness will entices us with it’s lies and tempt us with …
The quest for perfection is filled with folly. We can only do our best, and even with our earnest efforts we are guaranteed to fall short! We should never be ashamed of our imperfections, as if they define us or predict our value. Not one of us is perfect, nor can we ever be! Through …
Wether or not being gay is a sin is completely irrelevant! We could debate all day whether or not being gay is a sin. Whether or not it is a sin does not justify why many Christians treat those who identify as LGBT like they are evil-doers deserving of Hell! Many Christians are hypocritically treating …

When I was a teen I was not sure I was willing to give my life to God because of all I feared God would ask me to give up! The sins listed in the Bible (particularly in Leviticus, and in the New Testament by Paul) seemed impossible to avoid… and sometimes the “sins” as …
Recently, after a fairly impassioned pro-gay rights rant I was asked by my husband: “You’re not gay, so why do you care?” He asked this not in a jerky-judgmental way, but in a I-don’t-know-why-you’re-so-worked-up kinda way. After all, I’m a legally married, heterosexual, middle-age, middle-class, mom. I live the American tradition. I teach Sunday School. …
Sin isn’t about breaking the rules, it’s about playing the wrong game. With sin, you will never truly win. When you choose sin over Spirit you choose darkness over Light. Sin separates us from God and from feeling His Love. God never stops loving His Creation, however in sin we are unable to feel His …
Why is it that some sins are socially acceptable while other sins elicit shame and condemnation so great the “sinner” often feels unaccepted by their fellow Christians and unwelcome in the Church?
