Horror Favorites for Halloween

In honor of this year’s Halloween and with some inspiration from a Miss Sophie Miller, I’d love to share with you a list of my favorite horror/thriller/suspense movies. Obviously, I work for a horror movie channel but my love for horror began long before I started working in it. I can’t say my horror expertise … Read more

The Draper in All of Us

So I’m finally catching up on Mad Men. Awful. I know. I took a class on it for crying out loud. I had seen seasons 1 and 2; wrote my final paper and presentation on The Mountain King (S2) but for whatever reason never followed through with my obsession. I remember the first time I … Read more

“Peculiar Grace” Blog Premiere!

Having been quoted calling chick flicks “Porn for girls” and refusing to watch anything that comes close … Read more

This is me.

This is a couple journal entries from the last few Sundays all smooshed together. Some things God is teaching me.   This is me. I am a new creation in Christ. He who started this great work in me, will not stop until He is finished and I am complete in Him. My identity is … Read more

Please tell me what there’s to complain about

  Loved Pastor Tim’s sermon on Naomi’s bitterness tonight. The main points you ask?   God’s blessing was not dependent on Naomi’s goodness. She had already left Israel and her people, forsaking God’s plan, taking matters into her own hands. Not only that, but she returns complaining that she left full and came back empty– … Read more

Old.

The young feel tired at the end of an action; The old at the beginning. – T. S. Eliot     In my morning commute, I was stuck at a green light. I realized eventually we were waiting on a pedestrian. As we inched closer I glanced over to find it was an old man … Read more
