In today’s society, it seems we are constantly bombarded with messages about “Going Green.” Commercials, billboards, product labels, the internet… always streaming us ideas on how we can be more environmentally conscious. Ideas about recycling, the right times to use your electricity and washing machine, etc. But you know the one message that could make [...]

It’s Definitely a Sin to Attack the Pope.

Alright, I’m no Catholic… but I’m QUITE sure its a sin to jump the Pope. Did you hear about this lady? Some woman from the Vatican leaped over the barrier and tried to take down the Pope right before the Christmas Mass service began. W-T-F. While she was at it, she also took a Cardinal [...]
Stealing the Messiah is Almost Definitely a Sin.

Around the holiday season in Orange, they city adorns the famous Old Towne Circle with various holiday decorations. A big fancy tree, a menorah, lights and of course… a cheesy and inaccurate nativity scene. A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I were taking a walk through the Circle and stopped to look. We noticed [...]

[I just heard through the grapevine that TBN spends approximately $10,000 a month on their electricity bill. Eeek!] Anyhow, several months ago I decided to cut back on my wardrobe in order to live more minimally. So far, its been pretty good. But recently, the two pairs of pants I own both got holes in [...]

A few weeks ago, TOMs invited me to be a guest artist at a few events to paint shoes. Here are some samples of the work I did: If you’re interested, I’ll custom paint your TOMs or plain canvas-base shoes for $10.
Out of Shape. Big Time.

I love blogs, really truly. I regularly follow somewhere between 10-15 blogs. Love. Them. One blog that I follow, called Flower Dust, written by author Anne Jackson, is currently tracking her journey to get back in shape. It has totally encouraged and motivated me to at least take steps to start caring for my health [...]
T.V. Dinners.

Televisions at restaurants are a terrible idea. Have you ever noticed how T.V. sucks us in, even if we aren’t even the slightest bit interested in what’s on? I know that I’m guilty of this, myself. If I’m out at a restaurant and their T.V.s are on, I find myself zoning out watching it… even [...]
He judged me faithful.

God never fails to astound me. When I sit and reflect on the number of amazing things He’s allowed me to do, I can’t help but be amazed. By His grace, I have been given a lot of amazing breaks and opportunities. Preaching to kids in Africa, speaking at conferences in Romania, participating in a [...]
Christmas without Christ.
Posted in Jesus, Lesson's Learned, Our Crazy World, Pet Peeves, The Media Sucks, Uncategorized, tagged Christmas, Jesus on December.10.2009 | 3 Comments »
It fascinates me how we, as a society, try to celebrate Christmas without Christ. This hit me as I was watching one of my favorite shows, SNL, this weekend. The opening skit was Blake Lively singing “Angels We Have Heard on High” with the cast members dressed as The Muppets. There are a billion Christmas [...]
Apple and Eve?
Posted in Uncategorized on December.9.2009 | 2 Comments »
What the heck? I just saw a commercial for a juice company called Apple and Eve. I had to look it up to make sure it wasn’t a joke. Who would name a company that? “Yeah! This story is about the fall of all mankind… this is the perfect name for our company!” Strange.
