I write about leaving deception to discern the true Gospel from false. Sheep-loving wolf-hater. Cleansing, not deconstruction. Wife/mom/Bibliophile.
🥀A woman who fears the Lord🌹 Every year I eagerly await Christmas cards from old friends, but this year one arrived I did not recognize. I pulled it from the envelope to see brilliant smiles beaming from a crew built from our blueprint. Three young men and one daughter, a dog,…
I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of. For to have been thought about - born in God's thoughts - and then made by God, is the dearest, grandest, most precious thing in all thinking. -George MacDonald
“Globalization has eliminated historic boundaries, flattened traditional cultures, and ensured that ways of living that lasted for centuries (or millennia) survive only in small cultural islands. For the young to inherit the culture of their ancestors takes a herculean effort…
"In the West, @roddreher notes, comfort is the new gulag. The hellholes of Communism have given way to chosen chains: pornography, perpetual entertainment, ubiquitous digital addiction. This functions like the drug 'soma' described by Aldous Huxley in his dystopian novel Brave…
Dad opened an empty sock drawer one too many times. He made the boys do a housewide sock hunt They all spent a couple hours enthusiastically making pairs and haggling over who gets which ones I have only been trying to accomplish this for 18 yrs, but ok. When Dad does it, it’s…
SUFFERING So many of the heroes in Scripture came to a point where they cried out to God some variation of this: Please, God, no. Death would be better than this life. Our God, as I said in my dad’s eulogy two years ago, is Absolutely Real, and there is no pretending in or…
Naomi’s story is no sentimental tale wrapped in Hallmark platitudes. Her words are raw and honest. She doesn’t sugarcoat her suffering. God’s hand, she says, has struck her (Ruth 1:13), emptied her, embittered her, and brought calamity—literally “evil”—upon her. The one who is…

In a lifetime of doctors and ER visits battling chronic illness, I just experienced the worst, most dehumanizing, torturous visit to @uchealth memorial north ER Told to “snap out of it” while in convulsions, that I had felt weak so I had come there to put on “pseudo…
Bye for now, Twitter…it’s Go time for business and homestead and all the people that arrive in summer, so I gotta go. I look forward to s’more later 👋🏻
Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers to share the mighty Gospel with hopeless young men. They are precious to God, who sent His Son to save them, not to condemn them. He loves them and can wash them clean and pure, like He can you and me, and make them His…
“We are evolving a new species of asexual, asocial males.” Incredibly bleak. Pray for young men.
Just a warning: If you walk by my 16yo and he sees you He is going to preach. The Bible or history, depending on what he is reading The boy will need a wife. A special wife. I don’t know how he got that way
It kinda makes me laugh that when they really want to be nasty, they call me a Boomer. Don’t get me wrong, Boomers are great! My parents are Boomers! It’s just… Beatles v Boys II Men Watergate v Monica Lewinsky Vietnam v Gulf War Cuban Missile Crisis v 9/11 These are…
Boomer brain is fully propagandized. I feel bad for you.
🚨@GovofCO has just signed HB 1312. He did it at the end of the day on Friday, because he is a coward who knows this is the most controversial bill OF ALL TIME and the people are (at least) 90% against it. Even Gavin Newsome vetoed this bill’s equivalent in CA. We will not…
In 2018 dearest friends whisked me from my sleeper cell mom-life in CO to visit them in South Africa. 🇿🇦 Bc why should they be the only ones haunted and undone? I left stunned, like you would walk away from a mother who shows you baby pictures of her addicted child on the…
My parents were first gen believers, radically saved in the Jesus Movement. My dad pastored a small city church in Chicago, hundreds of miles from our well-heeled, coastal elite relatives. So my aunts and uncles and cousins were the poor, urban, multicolored people of the…
Some want a set. Some want an assortment. But I feel like this is an odd prayer.
“If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and readied his bow; he has prepared for him his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts. Behold, the wicked conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies. He makes a pit, digging it…
