Before I knew Jesus, I didn’t have before and afters. I just lived.
Now, I do.
And lately, my before and afters have taken on a whole new meaning.
God has given me some very amazing friends, women who LOVE Jesus, and I can’t remember my life before them. It’s all after now.
So, girls. You know who you [...]

(not MY helmet, but similar end result)
God moves in mysterious ways, doesn’t He?
3 years ago, today, right about this time (10:02 a.m. PST) I was riding in a bike race in Portland OR.
Top of the world, top of my game, top of my life!
God had other plans. Plans to knock me down, shake me up, [...]

God doesn’t extend His grace and mercy in a vacuum. The body of Christ, the Church, is called to lift and care for one another, extending the grace of Christ to those around them. All believers are given a capacity to extend grace, as shown in Ephesians 4. There are people in your life who [...]

(Stairs at the hockey rink. I miss that place.)
I am NOT a resolution girl. I used to be. New Years was my very favorite (OOH! New Diet! New Goals! New Shiny Things!) But meh. Lately, not so much. See, I don’t want to break those “promises” to myself anymore, and that’s what always (inevitably) happened…

God certainly MUST have a sense of humor.
Two Quotes by these famous men….
In 1880, in reply to a correspondent, Charles Darwin wrote
“I am sorry to have to inform you that I do not believe in the Bible as a divine revelation, & therefore not in Jesus Christ as the Son of God.”
Abraham Lincoln, the [...]

When I think about the Lord
How He saved me, how He raised me
How He filled me with the Holy Ghost
How He healed me to the uttermost
When I think about the Lord
How He picked me up and turned me around
How He set my feet on solid ground
It makes me wanna shout;
“Hallelujah, thank You Jesus,
Lord You’re worthy [...]

Shannon will appreciate this post. Oh, yes she will.
Ann most likely won’t. Animals aren’t her thing. But she’ll appreciate the idea behind it.
I love it when bloggers are honest and transparent. It makes their lives seem less ideal, and more for real.
Jess had a great post yestserday –full [...]

I love thrifting. $1.00, baby. Who, in their right mind, donates 100% wool, (and the GOOD stuff, too), to an unknown entity? Bonus for me.
