    The failed princess

    Once upon a time, in the wealthiest land in the whole wide world, there lived a beautiful girl who dreamed of growing up to be a princess, and/or a ballerina, and/or a missionary.

    Unfortunately I was too uncoordinated for ballet, too young for Prince Charles, too old for William or Harry, and, well, my excuse for not becoming a missionary is a bit weaker. Frankly, it turns out I’m just a bit too selfish and spoiled to head off into all the world.

  • The Pastor’s Wife

    Jesus was a fatty

    Two months after I married my pastor husband, I did the appropriate pastor-wife thing and quit my full-time job. I had to find something to do. I did what any good pastor’s wife would do, I found a Tuesday morning ladies’ Bible study. A Bible study not affiliated with the church where my husband preaches.

    An evangelical body, broken for you… into six convenient types

    Public opinion tends to pigeonhole evangelicals as part n’ parcel with conservatives, fundamentalists, born again Christians, over-the-edge fanatics, homophobes and other general crazies. Certainly, it is true that some fanatics are evangelicals, but not all evangelicals are fanatics.
