A central theme of this blog is, of course, creativity. I’d call myself an author, writer, artist, or poet as the mood strikes, and so would many of you. As has been mentioned elsewhere, many times, there’s a dearth of good Christian (mainstream) art. However, many artists and writers and …
I just started reading through Ezekiel, first because I’m in between Bible study projects, and second because I started reading through the whole Bible last January and I’d rather like to finish it sometime. The other day I was in Ezekiel 6. Like so much of this book it’s denouncing …
The first time I listened to Sara Groves’ song “Scientists In Japan,” I laughed. It’s a rather quirky, whimsical illustration of how technology is moving forward, of our collective surprise as again and again “you see science fiction ain’t fiction no more.” That’s why it caught me by surprise when …
Yesterday I had a post published on TheRebelution that I thought might be encouraging for you, since I know a lot of people who follow this blog are fellow writers and creatives, and we all want to change the world. =) We tend to think that the world is only …
Hard to believe it’s the last week–last day, actually–of this year’s NaPoWriMo. It always goes by so fast. I’ve grown up in Florida, but it feels like I’m just now beginning to appreciate the beauty that is my state. And as much as I can’t wait to go to school …

I was lying awake last night when I suddenly realized I never posted anything on Monday. This shall now be remedied, albeit two days late. did you forget what the stars look like from here? caught in the hastening blur and the glare of rushing headlights, bending so hard, so …
I’m currently at my grandparents’, enjoying the peace and quiet of no internet or social media (or young people… haha). But I’m stealing a few minutes of wifi because I do want to do a weekly post for NaPo this month. If you’re wondering what’s going on, National Poetry Writing …
Happy April! And happy Resurrection Sunday, albeit two days late (and this post was supposed to be yesterday, but that didn’t happen either… oh well). Here are some beautiful (or just odd) things from the internet in March. prayer // it isn’t about the words | My friend Esther wrote …
