Toxic Positivity During The Time Of COVID-19

May 20, 2020

As stay-at-home orders extend, it's natural to feel disheartened. And it can be frustrating when the people we go to respond with what we already know.

A Geek’s Thoughts on Personal Improvement: Level Up or Let It Go?

April 26, 2020

There’s nothing like a solid stats increase in an RPG to get a gamer geek’s heart to thrill. (But I don’t know why my husband has to SHOUT so loudly when it happens for him. If I die by heart attack at an early age, now you’ll know why.) It’s funny how [...]

April 4, 2020

What should our response be as Christians to the worldwide threat our world is facing? We can hide away or we can use this time to find God's higher purpose

The Doorkeeper

Doorkeepers are often overlooked where they serve, but one man doing a simple task for the Lord can change the lives of many.

The Fellowship of Grief

January 12, 2020

The grieving process is often an ugly thing. It can reduce us to body-wracking sobs or tempt us to sit in dark, solitary silence. It can shake us to our very core and lead us on a meandering path, banging on doors that open to nothing, and asking [...]

Worship 101: Why is Worship Important?

December 14, 2019

Worship is an integral part of being a Christian. It's mentioned over 500 times in the Bible! What makes worship so important, though?

We’re Not The Hero and That’s Okay

November 17, 2019

Like many in the realm of geek culture my love for superheroes started at a very a young age. Although, it didn’t start in the stereotypical, boy-walks-into-comic-book-shop way that you may see in different forms of media. I wouldn’t read an [...]

Eeveelution

October 30, 2019

Kids’ minds really are like sponges. Within three weeks of beginning to play Pokémon GO! with me, my five-year-old had the names, sounds, and CP levels of all my Pokémon burned into his little brain. And now, his two-year-old brother is following [...]

Agoraphobia, A-GO-Away!

October 27, 2019

Agoraphobia is defined as, “Extreme or irrational fear of entering open or crowded spaces, of leaving one’s own home, or of being in places from which escape is difficult.” I have also seen it defined as a fear of being stuck in a place [...]

You Wouldn’t Like Me When I’m Angry…And Neither Do I

August 11, 2019

In just a few short weeks, my family will be celebrating my oldest son’s second birthday. He loves fish, so we’ve decided to make the theme of his party “Under The Sea.” I’m going to try my hand at making cute little bento [...]

THAT Question…

May 26, 2019

It’s difficult to think in terms of absolutes. Allow me to propose a thought experiment: Think about infinity. Take a moment to really ponder the notion of the infinite. I’ll wait. … Keep thinking. ………… Think a [...]

2 vs. 1: Overcoming The Overwhelming

April 28, 2019

For the better part of a decade, my husband and I had made it a point to not celebrate Valentine’s Day on the actual day. One, because we both feel it’s sort of a silly, gimmicky holiday to begin with, and two, we have decided to come up with [...]

A Meditation on Death

April 21, 2019

I’ve been reading a daily Lent devotional to prepare for Holy Week, and I’m suddenly face-to-face with a topic few choose to explore, but that God inextricably surrounds. We aren’t always comfortable looking toward the end of life. In fact, our media can [...]

Bulletproof

March 3, 2019

I am not bulletproof. That should be no surprise to anyone, but it sure is a disappointment sometimes. Invulnerability is one of my favorite superpowers to play with in fictional universes. If someone were to be truly impervious, what would that mean for [...]

I Forget

December 17, 2018

I have a very specific rule about Christmas music: I am not allowed to listen to it until after December 1st. It’s not that I don’t love Christmas music. Who doesn’t, after all? There are so many great, classic tunes — some extolling Christ’s birth, [...]

God’s Love is the Greatest Show

November 4, 2018

From the moment I saw the trailer for The Greatest Showman, I knew I wanted to write about it. I could see it was going to have a great message. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to write one of our official Bible studies about it, and didn’t [...]

You Can’t Save Everyone

October 28, 2018

Tell me if this synopsis doesn’t sound familiar: The hero is just starting to get the hang of this gig. Saving lives is starting to become systematic, even normal somehow. Sure, there have been a few close calls, but the hero has learned from these [...]

Command? >Fight >Item >Run >Love

October 7, 2018

The thing about being an INFJ is random bumper stickers seen on my drive home will send me into deep philosophical musings. “♥ God, ♥ People” the sticker on the truck ahead of me said. How funny someone feels the need to tell me and other drivers to do [...]

Transformation

September 9, 2018

“I feel like I know you,” the woman said as she checked out her books at my reference desk. And she did; she had mentored me for a short time some years ago. Due to the time elapsed and her move to and back from another state, the dim recognition wasn’t [...]

Pillar of Innocence

August 26, 2018

My expectations for live-action DC superhero movies are generally pretty low, even for a true fangirl. When I heard they had announced plans for a Shazam movie, those expectations sunk even lower. Then I saw the trailer, and everything changed. Billy [...]

There’s More to Likes

July 15, 2018

I know I’ve started another post in a similar fashion before, but If you post a selfie and no one likes it, was it ever even posted? It comes as no surprise that this generation is just a little bit addicted to their smartphones. And why wouldn’t we [...]

God’s Gift of Compassion

July 11, 2018

Compassion, unity, and finding peace are core traits God wants the world he created to possess. God has never and will never give up on any individuals who possess faith that He is alive in this world. The core tenant of the Christian religion is that God [...]

Happy Little Faith

July 8, 2018

Watching Bob Ross is soothing – not just for his calm voice and attitude, but also because every time you think he’s added an absolutely disastrous paint swipe to the canvas, the art still ends up looking fine. Me: Ah, nothing could improve this tranquil [...]

To Infinity And Beyond: God Is Still With Us

July 1, 2018

I’m sorry this blog about Avengers: Infinity War is so late after the premiere. I needed the therapy. Jokes aside, by now it’s no spoiler to say that the last installment in the MCU was quite dark. After seeing this movie riddled with death and [...]

Dinosaurs and the Bible

June 19, 2018

“65 million years ago dinosaurs roamed the earth”. Many museum displays, documentaries, and even fictional stories contain this or similar statements about how old dinosaurs are. Some movies like “The Good Dinosaur” present dinosaurs and [...]

Diversity and Gaming Culture

June 10, 2018

Issues of diversity are a hot button topic these days, both within the church and in broader society. The internet gives people from all walks of life a platform from which to voice their opinions and shape the surrounding culture in ways that weren’t [...]

Stuck

June 3, 2018

Have you ever sat there with a book in hand and found yourself reading the same line over and over and over again? No matter how many times your eyes have scanned left to right over those same series of letters and words, you just couldn’t process them? [...]
