Today on my run there was this turtle. I run by a beautiful park and seeing a turtle is not really that unusual. This, however, was no ordinary turtle. This is not my turtle. But it looks a lot like my turtle. I first noticed her because a couple of women who were walking their […]

Only Human
That song (by Christina Perri) won’t stop playing and replaying in my head. And every time it comes on the radio, I start to cry. I’m only human. And I bleed when I fall down. I’m only human. And I crash and I break down. I’m there, Friends. I’ve been there for awhile, in fact. […]

Because on Thursday, I registered for the WDW Marathon (regular registration to the general public begins April 22nd or right now if you’re a DVC […]
Performance Anxiety
“My biggest fear is that I’ll get to heaven and hear Jesus say that there was so much more he had for me to do. I don’t want to miss it.” My sweet friend sat across from me as we discussed what God was saying to us on retreat. I paused for a moment. Something […]
