Being a pastor gives you a unique lens -- being a female pastor who doesn't fit the mold gives you a REALLY unique lens. Here are some thoughts as I try and understand the world around me through that lens.

Are you ok?

September 23, 2015

Last week I shared that my birthday has sometimes been a difficult day. The truth is that the whole month of September has traditionally been a rough month for me. In years past, I’ve gone through tough break ups, disappointing job experiences and a car accident, all in the month of September. This year with […]

It’s My Birthday… and I’ll cry if I want to

September 16, 2015

I woke up last Thursday, looked in the mirror and sighed – how is it possible that I have both a zit and the beginnings of some wrinkles? Yes, that was the deep theological question on the morning of my 35th birthday. My birthday for the last 5 years has been something that I wish I could avoid. I […]

Family Ties

August 27, 2015

It was a hot day and people were shoulder to shoulder; the area was crowded worse than a summer fair ground. It couldn’t have smelled very nice, as most people had been standing there for a long time and many had traveled for days to get there. Imagine the last day of Coachella. People were chatting and […]

I hate change

August 20, 2015

I hate change. That would probably surprise most people who know me. I love to travel, I love to go on adventures, I am always up for trying new things; and yet there is a deeper, shadow self that hates change. I write this as I am surrounded by boxes, a sure sign that something is amiss. I am […]

Last week I decided to be brave and run with a running club. Why is that brave? Well, the leader of that group is a professional trainer and a sponsored Spartan racer. He is fast, and I mean really fast. I was worried that since I just recently began to run again after an injury, I would be […]
