Tattoo Ministry

No worries my title this week is neither a misprint nor an oxymoron. I am talking about exactly that, a ministry based off of tattoos. Could it be that two of my greatest loves have found a way to be together? Jesus and ink-is that even possible? Chris Baker founder of Ink 180 created a […]

Today I don’t

Today I don’t love, myself that is. Today I’m frustrated, today I’m confused, today I seem to be going through some self-inflicted mental abuse. Today I feel as though I am mourning my body and it’s misuse. Today I can’t do this. Today I do not want a pep talk out of this unwelcome sorrow […]

Pity Fool

Hierarchy is to keep order and productivity. In itself it’s a good thing leave it to us humans to wreck a great system. With “pecking order” comes pride and judgment. A universal experience, from school days to work schedules there’s social order. I’m not a fan because a ranking system means someone outranks someone. It’s […]

This place I love, this place I fear

It’s a Tuesday, or Wednesday evening or whatever night it is that I have some writing assignment due and I can’t seem to sit there and just make myself type the words. in my head I find myself running again, chasing the ever elusive inspiration, or more so muse-inspiration’s trickier cousin.

Hearts are resilient. We know this because they brake over and over again. It’s not just once, […]

Speechless

My conclusion to life is this; I know nothing. I am 100% certain that I am completely sure, of not a single thing. Can anyone else in there twenties back me up here? The awkward stage of legally being an unstable adult is more dumbfounding than Miley Cyrus’ behavior. That song 22 hit a bulls-eye […]

My Faithful Servant

“I don’t wanna stay in the bad place, where no one believes in silver linings or love, or happy endings.” Pat said that, he was a teacher who after spending some time a mental institution, tries to reconcile with his ex-wife. He’s better recognized as the character Bradley Cooper played opposite Jennifer Lawrence in this […]

Struggle Bus

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to struggle. Thinking about the struggles that have been overcome and the struggles yet to come. I struggle, you struggle, he, she, they struggle. Just because struggling is a part of life, or that it is life. That does not necessarily mean our struggles are a […]
