MY (NOT SO) SWEET 16TH B-DAY

I told this story at the Tenx9 Nashville Storytelling event last week – Theme: Courage. Enjoy! 😀 ~~~~~~~~~ It was 3am. Not a sound in the house. But suddenly everyone awoke with a small shriek, sitting straight up in their sleeping bags, half asleep, hearts pounding. Then we realized the loud, creepy, frantic laughter of […]

WE DID IT!

…Wow, and a whole day early!! I’m overwhelmed by the support shown by friends and family! Thanks SO much, you guys! Every pledge was like an unexpected surprise, one after another. Had no idea some of you guys believed in me so much, and it means a lot. I promise to get your prizes out […]

SCARE AWAY THE DARK – THE MILLENNIAL SONG

I am loving this new song (and fantastic challenge) from Passenger: Well, sing Sing at the top of your voice Love without fear in your heart Feel. Feel like you still have a choice If we all light up we can scare away the dark We wish our weekdays away Spend our weekends in bed […]

KATY WITH A HANDGUN

I was 26 years old, and I hadn’t planned on needing to defend myself that day. I’ve never desired to use a gun in my life. My dad is hunter and had taught my sister, step-brother, and me how to shoot rifles once or twice when we were kids. I wasn’t good at it, but […]

GOD’S LOVE LETTER

I have a group of friends from church who regularly meet each week, and I’m grateful for Dylan passing this along to everyone yesterday.  Not sure if it’s been circulating and I’m just now seeing it, but I feel like it’s always fitting. GOD’S LOVE LETTER You may not know me, but I know everything […]

A (TRUE) HALLOWEEN STORY

As I reflect back on one of my most disturbing memories, I recall a scene that neither I – nor anyone else – has been able to explain. My former roommate got married in 2005, and her rehearsal dinner was held at what used to be a top-of-the-line hotel in 1910: “The Greystone.” It’s been […]

THE INSPIRATIONS BEHIND “LULLABY HYMNS”

My friend Jon had asked who inspired the song choices for this new CD.  I wrote him back a novel and a half, and then I figured, why waste a perfectly good novel?  Those of you who (are awesome and therefore) have the CD might be curious to know as well. The entire musical theme […]

I USED TO BE A CAT

For one thing… hi.  🙂  I realize my blogs are becoming an annual thing… therefore, much cause for celebration!! So I used to be a cat, see.  
And I dislike cats.  

Well… It’s more that I love dogs.  And here’s why (kudos to Amy for this forwarded e-mail): From a Dog’s Diary ~ 8:00 am […]
