Tail Light Troubles
Once upon there was an amateur writer who went by Redheaded Jill and she had a problem. Her left taillight was broken. Well, the plastic lens was, the light itself was fine. (She got into a fight with a tree and lost, ok?) For about a month Jill drove around with nary a concern. Sure,…

Farm Cats
I got kittens y’all. And I have a VERY intentional purpose for them. There are too many mice in my garage/basement/car. (Yes, they get into the car. I wish I were joking.) It’s just a normal thing all country folk deal with, but I’m getting tired of it. SO, when my Aunt told me she…

Unpacking My Unhealthy Relationship with Food
I was thinking yesterday about how often I used food as a reward when I was a kid. (And I say “I” because I don’t think this was taught to me, I think I took sometime I enjoyed and turned it into a bigger deal than it should have been.) When I was little food…

Fasting for God
I have some experience with fasting. I have tried fasting for my health several times. Intermittent fasting is something I try to do at least monthly, if not weekly. In Bible Class recently we were challenged to try fasting as a way to grow closer to God. Let me tell ya… it is hard! I…

Sometimes it’s humor, sometimes it’s mistakes, sometimes it’s something unseen in the background. What happens most often when I watch movies these days is my idea of beauty changes. I am the Twilight…

Self Inflicted Exposure Therapy
Sometimes I do things that I don’t want to do because I know they’re good for me. The “thing” I chose to do this week was attend a church function even though my family wasn’t there. After the evening devotional they had a cookout to celebrate one of the graduating seniors. Super nice. Good idea.…

Habit Stacking
I’m not sure which self help book mentions habit stacking, but it is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I like to do certain things at certain times for productivity’s sake. I respond to voice memos and marco polos when I’m in the car. I listen to podcasts or self help books when…

Power Trips – Freshman Year of College
When I was a freshman at a private christian college I didn’t join a sorority but I did join a social club. One of the first “events” we had was a devo at some random lake. We were all freshman, sitting on the ground, full of hope and excitement waiting for the words of Biblical…
