Trigger Warning

-



 The truth doesn't discriminate. The truth is the truth, no matter if you disagree or don't like it. Right is right and wrong is wrong.

 Truth is under attack, now more than ever. This is especially true in the Western World, particularly in America. There are some things that are true and always will be, no matter what anyone says or how anyone feels about it. 

  • The Lord is in control, always. And every single one of us is going to answer to Him when we die. Jesus Christ is the One True King.
  • Girls are girls and boys are boys.
  • Sex belongs between one man and one woman in the covenant of marriage. Sex is meant primarily for procreation, but also serves as a bonding agent between the partakers of the act.
  • Sin and evil are part of this world. Sinning is a choice, and we all sin. Thankfully, God always offers forgiveness for those who are truly repentant.
  • Every human being is made in the image and likeness of God. Every single person is deserving of love and respect.  


The truth hurts sometimes. It can be especially painful to find that you are wrong about something, and to have the courage to admit it and turn toward the truth. 


There have been some major attacks on truth lately that need to be addressed.

  • Kids are hugely affected by the presence of both their mom and their dad in their lives, but especially their dad. 
  • If someone is hell bent on killing another person, they will use whatever means they can find, laws and consequences be damned.


  • Mental illness is real, and the field of mental health is not perfect.
  • Abortion is murder. Both the mother and the baby deserve life and love.

We need to speak up and defend the truth. Our world depends on it.

Nothing He Can't Handle

-
  I know it's not New Year's yet, but I've been reflecting quite a bit over 2016 lately. Sometimes I think people get a little OD'd on all of the posts that come around January 1, and occasionally all of the resolution and reflection can get overwhelming. With finals week upon me, learning to split holidays between my family and Jordan's, wedding planning, the election ruckus that keeps coming up on my news feed, and the tragedy that just struck Sioux Falls fresh in my head, my mind has been racing in all sorts of directions.   You know, worry and depression are best friends. I swear they go together better than peanut butter and jelly. It's an unfortunate thing that negatives come in pairs, and Satan loves to unleash them together, especially around the holidays. His other favorites are tragedy and despair, along with failure and unforgiveness (especially of one's self). Sometimes the devil's pets travel in packs, seeking to prey on the vulnerable. On

What A Detox Did For Me

-
  Jordan and I recently finished a month long social media detox. This did not include Pinterest (one does not simply give up Pinterest!), but focused mainly on Facebook because that tends to be the site that we wasted the most time on. We both felt that we spent an unhealthy amount of time on Facebook, and we certainly did. I remember having this pull to check my feed every 10 or 15 minutes even though there would be nothing new. It's safe to say I had an addiction.   I knew I was addicted to it, and it was a tremendous burden on me. That's so silly, isn't it?!?! Facebook is an awesome way to stay in touch with friends and family. In some cases, that's the main mode in which I communicated with people, especially in regards to retreats and such. I get my news, weather, and Steelers updates from Facebook or Twitter. Why is it a burden? Because I made it one.   It's sooo easy for us, especially women, to gauge our self worth by what others think of us. Or at leas
