    I’m officially a ministry-mama and a TEEEEENSY bit excited about it. Also I am clueless, so there’s that. 🤣🙃😂 Can I just tell you that this whole thing IS A SURPRISE TO ME TOO, Y’ALL?! I never imagined this would be a path God would lead me down, but here we are: I done went and…

    (A MINISTRY BABY, THAT IS.) As many of you know (especially if you follow me on Instagram,) I have been hard at work launching a new ministry. I am equal parts terrified and giddy about it, and have been posting weekly updates over on my IG page every Friday. Here is last week’s 2 minute…

    I recently taught on Ephesians 5 and how we are to walk in love, live as light, and love in unity. If that all sounds like hippie-poet talk, that is understandable because: I actually am a hippie poet. That is crazy talk and who knows what that all even means? However, I will be doing…

    Holy guacamole. I graduated from Seminary, y’all. And let me tell you something: It ain’t for sissies. It is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done and also one of most enriching experiences I will likely ever have. HOW WAS IT? …you ask. To be honest, I went in with more than a little…

    Gold is my favorite color. And before all you ladies say AMEN, I don’t mean jewelry-gold (although that is quite nice and I am certainly not opposed to it). I also don’t mean sunshine or lemon or butter or dandelion yellow . I am talking about that deep, earthy, honey-soaked, butterscotchy, royal autumn gold. You…

    Before I repost some of my other favorite pieces, it makes sense to first retell the story of how this journey as The Jesus Gypsy began. It is, quite frankly, my very favorite story to tell anyway (I am a sucker for good love and redemption stories, and this one is both.) 😉 Plus, I believe that when we…

    I don’t mean to be controversial, but I am not a huge fan of Oreos (I know, I know- the scandal.)  It is just that food items that have one texture on the outside and another on the inside give me the icks. But one thing I do admire about the Oreo is that it is one of the…

    I love all the new beginnings God offers us.  But I hadn’t spent much time studying “The Beginning” until now.  Recently (and quite accidentally,) I have found myself smack dab in the middle of a huge and very in-depth study of Genesis.   And if I am super honest about it, when I first heard that we would be…
