What Do You Believe?

March 30th, 2011

This morning I started thinking about religion, I don't know why.

I used to say all religions worship the same God with slightly different rules. I know now that this is.....

Barrington Bunny

December 31st, 2009

Off Guard

March 8th, 2009

Over the past couple years, I've developed strong opinions about worship. And over the last several weeks they have been obliterated. Looking back on these ideas about God and church, I've realized.....

Running

May 14th, 2008

One of my favorite pastimes is running. Over the past year, trying to keep up with it feels like chasing a rabbit at a racetrack. I never catch the rabbit and die trying. However, I'm slowly beginn.....

Confessions

May 11th, 2008

I spent Mother's Day morning walking. I needed to be alone. I walked to Colby Lake. The changes in the trees and the air was nothing short of heavenly. I listened as the wind weaved in and out of t.....

Experience

Out of Control

October 24th, 2006

The last few weeks life has been out of control. Everything is out of my control, and that is okay.

When are we ever truly in control? We aren't, we never were and never will be.

When Is Enough... Enough?

May 23rd, 2006

I am strangely reminded of a Jennifer Lopez movie as I type this. The movie just crossed my mind, however there is no correlation with this post.

Let's start with a nice puzzle with a beautif.....

A Good Life

May 9th, 2006

This is... hard. You wouldn't understand, unless you knew me... and how I feel.

Today was a good day, for a beautiful dog, to go to heaven. Her name was Kodi. Many people knew her by other na.....

April Showers

April 2nd, 2006

These Minnesotan skies have been painted with clouds, throwing down rain and keeping the air cold. No more a reflection of April than of my weekend. I lied when I said I didn't know why I ran. The .....

When I Wake Up

January 16th, 2006

When I wake up, I am already trying to make someone's day. I know it sounds stupid, but it's true. I need to feel like I'm making a difference. I am always thinking about my family and friends when.....

Christmas

December 25th, 2005

As is tradition, I re-tell this story every Christmas. Our priest at the catholic church always reads us this story during Christmas time. And it brings tears to my eyes... everytime. So I feel com.....

When There Was No One Else

November 11th, 2005

Before we start here, I just want to say a few words. I am not in any way trying to impose my beliefs on anyone. This is just something I needed to say, because it is how I feel. If I left it out, .....

How It's Meant To Be

September 27th, 2005

Genesis was powerful this weekend. I am telling you this now because I've just been swamped with studying. However, it is something I needed to get out there.

I don't think alot of us know th.....

Trying to Stay Strong

September 11th, 2005

When some of us are weak, the other ones have to stay strong. And all I have to say is, that it is hard.

As few of you know, my grandma went into the hospital. I was making light of the situa.....
