This post was originally shared January 28th on Medium. This past Sunday in the wake of the news about Kobe Bryant, I had a lot of thoughts. Among them, I was wondering whether or not I should post something on Instagram, and if I did, what would I say? In the midst of my questions,Continue reading “On expressions of grief in the Age of Social Media”

Can we talk about racism in the church?
How about now? In the wake of one of gospel’s greats finding the strength to share his story, I wonder how much longer it will be before he receives an appropriate response. I also wonder about the kind of opposition he might be facing. I keep imagining Christian celebrities and civilians muttering behind the scenes,Continue reading “Can we talk about racism in the church?”
Wicked Words
As a content writer, I’m committed to my clients’ success. I remember when I first threw myself into this field, I was incredibly enthusiastic. I didn’t anticipate any problems. I mean really. Content’s all the rage. I’m an amazing writer. How could business owners not understand that they needed me? It didn’t take long forContinue reading “Wicked Words”
Who’s baking your kid’s biscuits?
Somewhere in America, an elementary school teacher let a feminist bake her class some cookies. I’m a feminist. Hence, I can understand looking at that sentence and thinking, “So what?” Well…There’s more. This woman didn’t just bake any cookies. She made VAGINA cookies. From Reddit: …Friday rolls around and the kids are excited. Autumn LilyContinue reading “Who’s baking your kid’s biscuits?”

Every day offers another chance to close the door on what you don’t want, and open another one. The media reminds us thatContinue reading ““Looking back, looking back, looking back…””
Thought of the day.
Human beings are teaching me more about God than religion ever has.
Get ready?
I have one week before school starts. You’d think I’d be more prepared. One final but vital detail needs to be sorted out. If you’re spiritual at all, pray or send out positive vibes. In spite of that concern, the other 99.9% of me is overcome with excitement. I’m really looking forward to experiencing theContinue reading “Get ready?”
Throwback – Post prep
While setting up my latest post, I found a few fantastic versions of one of The Temptations’ hits. Happy Friday. 🙂
I need a break.
Don’t you? I joined Luvvie’s 31 Write Now challenge a few days ago. After yesterday’s post I decided to exhale. After all. It’s Friday. *ahem* 😉 I’ve never seen Sons of Anarchy. But this video confirmed it… I need SoA in my life. ASAP. Sesame Street parodies rule. And here’s something for those who wantContinue reading “I need a break.”
Justice for Trayvon
Source Stacia wrote this poetic and poignant post. I honestly don’t know what to say. Although I’ve been upset, all along, something has kept my soul from making an absolute connection to the anguish that others have expressed. In all honesty, to me, the end of this trial felt more like a cliffhanger than aContinue reading “Justice for Trayvon”
