I have felt for a while like I needed to talk about the divisions in the Church, which means I have to address my feelings on Denominations and membership. This is not an easy subject because it stirs up a lot of emotions because I have seen the damage that divisions have caused. I have… Read More »

What time is it?
I have a whole list of blog posts already written but God keeps telling me that I need to write about what is going on now and not what was going on when I wrote the other posts. I want the “Mud Puddle” blog to be real, vulnerable, and what I am going through today,… Read More »
