This Is Just The Beginning (Exodus 40)

Where Do You See Yourself In Twenty Years? (Exodus 39)
Summary: I kind of hate it when people ask that question. First of all, I have no idea. Second of all, why does it matter whether or not I can answer that question? After all, your answer is always judged. Have you set your sights too high or too low? Do you have purpose in … Continue reading Where Do You See Yourself In Twenty Years? (Exodus 39)
Clap For Me (Exodus 37)
Summary: Earlier last week an email showed up in my inbox. It pointed out a problem, a mistake, an issue and it gently suggested that I was the one to blame and thus, the one to find a solution.

The Power Couple (Exodus 31)
Summary: I admit that some of y’all talented folk make me a little jealous. Those of you who can sing at church and in the choir without their throat burning and their eyes watering.

Here’s My Heart, Lord (Exodus 28)
Summary: Do you remember the crappy gifts you gave your parents when you were little? I remember drawing my best imitation of a blue first place ribbon and cutting it out for my father.

Beauty Is In The Eye (Exodus 26)
Summary: When I was in high school, I used to love getting school supplies at the start of a new school year. It felt like a fresh, clean, pure beginning.

You’re Being Really Extra (Exodus 25)
Summary: There's just something about the old days. No, not those old days. The old old days.
