Have you been broken by loss, grief, or abuse? Maybe you've felt outcast and lonely.
I've been there too, and I'm wondering what it looks like to live beautifully broken and more than mended.
Come join me on this journey!
Where Will You Sit at the Banquet?
Matthew and Luke both record Jesus’s parable of the Heavenly Banquet. Jesus tells the story of a man who prepared a great feast. When the guests ignore or refuse the invitation, the host tells his servants to go out into the streets and ask the poor, maimed, blind, and lame. I ask myself, “Where am I in this story? Who would I sit beside?”
Longing for Home
Most of us have longed for home at some point in our lives as we think about that place that is warm and welcoming, where we are wrapped in the comfort of those who love us. But does this longing awaken another longing even deeper in our hearts?
Peace to You
A year after attending Second Baptist for the first time, I am still awed by the love and beauty I experience there every week. I love the people, the music, and the traditions observed there. This is where I am called to worship. Recently, as I looked around me during this time of fellowship, I was reminded of the priestly blessings of Numbers 6:24 -26. And so, as a benediction to 2024 and a blessing for you in 2025, I pray this for my church congregation, my dear friends, my precious family, and all who ‘stumble’ across this message. This blessing is for you.

About Me
I’m back! I’m writing, blogging, and speaking again after a long season of growth and healing. It has taken me a long time to see that God’s beautiful, redemptive work is most often seen in brokenness, so I’m wondering what it looks like to be beautifully broken and to live more than mended. Join me here as I write for the grieving, the broken, the outcast (LBGTQ Christian parents and adult children), the lonely, and the abused and how I have found joy and peace in all of these hard places.
My Journey With Justin
This book is my story – the first chapter in a lifelong journey of faith. Perhaps parts of my story may mirror yours. It is my prayer that as you read how God used hardships to heal my heart, you too may begin to experience God’s healing and peace – even in the midst of your present pain.
From the back cover
This is the touching true story of a young mother whose five year old son is suddenly left severely brain damaged as a result of unintended but devastating complications of open-heart surgery. Follow her journey of faith from heartbreak and hardship to happiness and healing as God uses the handicaps of her son to open her eyes to the handicaps hidden in her own heart.
I would like to thank everyone who has encouraged and supported me as I return to writing and blogging. I would also like to thank all of those who helped make a new laptop a reality.
And a very special thanks to my son, Jerrod! Without his help and support, this website would not be possible!
