Breaking the Habit of Unbelief
Breaking the Habit of Unbelief Why am I awake at 3 am writing about the habit of unbelief? Well, we could be superstitious and assume I just wasn’t sleeping well. But I was sleeping well. And this is usually how it works, at least for me. You are welcome to doubt this. And I suspect…

Read MoreIncreasing Faith Outside the Comfort Zone
Increasing Faith Outside the Comfort Zone Tis the season to reflect and take stock of my belief, or perhaps my unbelief.

Justifying Jesus: Memory & Belief Justifying Jesus is by far the greatest hindrance I have experienced in my faith walk. I cannot type fast enough. My cheeks are aching, from smiling, all night. No, I haven’t slept, and I do not care. Y’all, I just laughed out loud. I do not doubt, in this life…

When Your Cup Is Empty, or Just Cold, and Needs Nuked… I love a big cup of coffee. Or a big cup of hot tea, English Breakfast, please. Like, I am not sure what life would look like without that first drink in the morning. I vaguely remember the days, when I would…
