That’s funny. There is no end in sight when it comes to change. What I mean is, this is the last of my “Changes coming…” series…for now 🙂 This last week I’ve had a heightened awareness of the fact that we as humans are constantly on the go, in and out of the grocery store, […]
I am a child of God. Born from above. Born-again, not of the desires of mankind, but born of God… Born my true self, my child-of-God-self. I have zero shits to give for the approval of others. God’s fingerprint on me is TRUE. When God made me, He said, “GOOD.” Period. My first identity, just […]
“You hate the Bible.” Recently someone said this to me. It was interesting…more intriguing, really, to hear these words specifically directed at me. I was only slightly curious how this person had drawn this conclusion, not because I actually hate the Bible because I don’t. But because I’ve had a theory brewing for years of […]
Ending gun violence begins before the gun is ever purchased, it begins before there’s a supply and demand. Ending gun violence, ending VIOLENCE: verbal, emotional, physical, spiritual; must begin with exposing fear for what it is: a liar whose tactic is to divide and isolate us, a liar that would lead us to believe in […]
Oh my, God! I just did one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. I took a baton that felt prematurely passed, and I’m going forward with it, because retreating isn’t an option.

Thoughts on marriage and cancer… As we’ve emailed back and forth, Mandy and Jay and I have talked about how “cancer” is definitely something woven throughout their love story and how it’s affected choices they have made as it relates to their marriage, friendship, and commitment to one another. Today’s interview is a glimpse into […]
A year ago when we sold our house and stuff and embarked on this journey as The Graveswolds, God put two words on my heart: GATHER and TABLE. I said, “Really, Lord!? You are teaching us about hospitality, but we don’t even have a house OR A TABLE?!” And He said, “You don’t need those […]
When I was in high school I used to keep a daily calendar…to be specific, I had a DayTimer. It was black leather with a zipper, totally official and tabbed and color-coded. And every single day over the course of a month, I wrote down and planned what outfit I would wear for the week, […]
First of all, thank you guys for all the encouraging feedback, cheering me on to write. Don’t get me wrong. I love writing, but the practice of writing is something I’ve been out of for quite some time. This challenge came to me from some new friends in a blogging workshop I’m taking. There are […]
