from the archives My generation grew up with the belief that we could accomplish great things, realize any dream, and actually be anything we want. Well, the former two might be true, but I would argue that the latter is actually a lie. It sounds nice. It tickles the ears. It feels good to say … Read this post
My baby, my dear sweet baby, Mac has been displaying some alarming symptoms as of late and as a result, I was unable to finish the post I had planned for today. Of course, now she’s cooperating just fine. Like women, it seems Macs can be finicky. But, said post will up tomorrow, so never fear. … Read this post
I saw a picture this week (keep reading to see the picture) and it made me smile. Our God is big. He is greater than our worries. Greater than our fears. Greater than our dreams. Greater than yesterday. He is greater than Chuck Norris, even. So, I’m asking you to finish this sentence…
Today, I’m over at Prodigal Magazine talking about how God moved me from where I was and what I thought was church, to where I am now. Here’s a taste… I thought church was what I experienced with my grandmother at Mass–a stuffy room, while beautiful was rather cold, filled with lots of old people crossing themselves … Read this post

I have seen people roll their eyes, or raise their brows when during conversation I say something like, “…and the Lord told … Read this post
Yesterday, I posed this question on Facebook: If you had to describe your church in 3 words what would you say? I decided to answer the question too. I thought for a minute and then completely cheated and used two hyphenated words for a grand total of 5 words. I said: My church: Spirit-filled, Christ-centered, and family. … Read this post
My husband and I have long discussed whether or not Jesus was a funny man. You know, not funny “ha ha” but other kinds of funny. Was he jovial, a jokster, a goof? Did He like to play pranks on His disciples? Is that really what He was doing when He said John was His … Read this post
I know I don’t talk politics much here on Modern Reject. Truth be told, I am a political junkie and I have to temper myself, otherwise this blog would become a veritable political buffet. All that to say, sometimes something so juicy, controversial, titilating and downright hilarious ensues that it begs to be discussed. So, if you don’t … Read this post
