Today starts a very special time for The Loved Bible Project. Many of you have heard me talk about the Loved Bible Project. I may be just a little obsessed with the idea of paper crafting in a Bible. Founder, Anne Marie, explains it better here: http://lovedbible.wix.com/thelovedbibleproject#!about/jadgi . During the month of July, Anne Marie has created a study to identify who we are in Christ. Each day has a verse that can be studied, copied, and in whatever way you want - put into a loved ... read more
Love One Another
50 people died today. That's the beginning, middle, and end of that statement. Not 50 tall people, 50 skinny people, 50 fat people, 50 tall people, 50 short people, 50 gay people, 50 straight people, 50 ugly people, 50 gorgeous people. Just - 50 people. And that is not okay.

It breaks for the city that is ... read more

Not just to free ... read more

Each time a new layer is revealed, it is necessary to continue to heal all the broken places. I knew there were still more broken places. So I asked to be on the launch team. All the time wondering if the ... read more
But, have you seen my excuses?
I apparently, no I definitely, have a problem with authority. It isn’t a conscious decision most of the time; I just think I know what is right. Most of the time, I acquiesce and do what I am told. Sometimes, though, I fight it, hard. After several weeks of frustration and confusion, I came to the realization that I was having trouble accepting God’s ideas over my own. I have been trying to negotiate with God about what obedience looks like. I didn’t realize that I had put so much time and ... read more
