I am a HTML Nerd

I have been working, for now hours, to completely re-design my blog page.  It looks fairly simple-but I did a lot of behind the scenes stuff with the CSS and HTML junk, in my opinion, that turned out nicely.  There are some things I would to like change (like the post divider and signature), but have just lost the patience at the moment.  A lot of what I did was real basic stuff, but after toying around with my blog for some time I am starting to wonder if I should have went to college for something along these lines.  I am a nerd and actually enjoy doing that sort of thing.

On other news, after great debate, I think I am deciding to pick up substitute teaching again a few days a month (maybe 2-3 days a month).  I am quitting working the tanning salon and gearing up to cut back at my other gig, so that frees me up a bit.  As much as I hate to admit it to myself, I am missing the classroom a dash and I think substitute teaching will be just the cure for that. Wish me luck.  Last time I substitute taught, I was 7 months pregnant.  I am not sure I even remember what teaching was like without all the fun pregnancy stuff (morning sickness, hormone swings, swollen feet,  nosy high school students...etc.)  Plus, I got SEVERAL phone calls, personally requesting me (yup I am going brag on myself) to sub, so I figured I better keep that foot in the door for now.   Of course it is summer break at the moment, so that won't be for a few months.

That's all that I have for now.  Check out my new blog get-up and tell me what you love and hate so I can work on polishing it up.

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

At the time, deciding to leave felt like the most agonizing part of the whole ordeal. In hindsight, a few years of prayer journals were filled with distressing agony over desiring direction and reconciliation.  So much turmoil and emotional pain all the time. But we were constantly told that was to be expected. Hard was good. Hard truths. And iron sharpening iron. But in reality, We were all enduring death by a thousand paper-cuts. In reality, it was spiritual abuse.  In July of 2022, I sat in a lawn chair in California. It felt like a million miles from home.  We had been traveling the US, and hadn’t been home in weeks. I sat there, eating my bowl of chili.  As wonderful as the trip has been, I started to miss home. In my reflections. I counted my blessings. Home was good. Except one thing, I had a sense of dread when I thought about church. My chest would go tight. And my body felt shaky. I craved Jesus. I craved worship. I craved devotion. Being in God’s creation,...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...
