we currently live in a world that is full of atrocities, and evil. it seems that at nearly any given time, there are world events that could break your heart if you attempted to grasp the severity of suffering and evil. currently ISIS terrorists murdering innocent children and martyring...

i've long observed that lots of singles seem to turn marriage into some "achievement" or accomplishment that is made to mean something that represents far more than it should ever be. not unlike an idol, hoisted upon this gilded platform, such as a milestone for which one's life can "begin"...

in the recent thread, "too many divorces" people were quick to point out how we ought not to judge people for being a divorcee, because the circumstances can be complicated. i saw a lot of support for those whose lives have been touched by divorce, which i think is great. however, i couldn't...

i love dictionaries and words, but unfortunately, some of the best words will probably never make it into merriam-websters official book. so, here's how this works: 1. someone will post a word (confirmed to not be an ACTUAL word) 2. we all can post/suggest the best definition for it the...

mystery contents explained: a carbiner : is traditionally a climbing gadget (how i was first exposed to them) but they're pretty much one of the greatest little inventions EVER. i probably have 20 and use them in a myriad of ways. if i have to temporarily suspend something (or someone...

ok, some of you know that of late, i've been doing these iv iron infusions. which i liken to being chained like a dog to a post for a 2-3 hours, forcing me to find things that i can do with that time. it's been a challenge to have to sit still and find things that are productive, but last...

one of my catchphrases, somehow seems appropriate...

i think it was rachelsedge that earlier this week discussed her mutual distaste and fascination with spiders. i'm in that camp. see, spiders in their milieu are quite fascinating to me. i can sit and watch a spider work for quite a while, provided it's not in my home. the manner in which...

dude, i don't even pintrest! ; p um, and this seems quite relevant right now:

perhaps for many, you have grown up with lots of models of successful, happy, loving marriages that work. in small ways, i envy that. growing up around the carnage and graveyards of floundering, failing and broken marriages has inadvertently created an ability to recognize and value the...

so this is the first and only no make-up selfie i'll be posting anywhere. it's almost a year old and i call it my "chapstick selfie". ; p and yeah, this has an expiration date. i meant the photo. : ) but i'm calling y'all out now. i want to see everyone's no makeup selfies...

a couple days ago, an MBTI personality type and preference discussion popped up on the streams thread. i had planned to respond to some of the posts that people made. rather than post what i wrote in streams, i'm going to create a new thread for this discussion, since i feel that there are...

one thing i occasionally ponder is what my life would be like if i wasn't a christian. i can see aspects of it so clearly, that envisioning my life that way is almost a "scared straight" moment for me. i can continue that path in my mind and see the pain and destruction my life would find were...
