Post-Grad Life: First Month

Walking across that stage and taking my diploma in hand was one of the most empowering experiences I’ve ever had. Getting a college degree is an accomplishment that not everyone can claim. I can now tell the world that I’m a college graduate, but having said that, the title comes with a little weight. Well,Continue reading “Post-Grad Life: First Month”

Escaping Shadows

By Leah Jordan Meahl These are the things I’ve come to know, The Sun sets in the west, in the east it will rise, But with abounding light lies a shadow. When hope dwindles, the spirit sinks below Into a cavern deep, dark, dry. These are the things I’ve come to know.Continue reading “Escaping Shadows”

Trendy Christianity

The Bible has no disclaimer saying “this might offend you, read with caution.” Similarly, this post will have no disclaimer at the end telling you that what you read is “to each his own.” Let me tell you something, Christian to Christian, believer to believer. Maybe you are not a believer,…

When You Fail at Your New Year’s Goals

Specialists say that eating a good breakfast can help you get through the day. Your average person may say a strong cup of coffee is the best way to start your morning.

I’m a Christian who Celebrates Hanukkah

I love decorating the dining room table for festive occasions, a trait I’ve learned from my mother who’s skilled in this particular area. Crystal candlestick holders, my parent’s wedding china, and a new freshly pressed blue tablecloth are spread about. The perfect fixings for a fancy table. At this time of year, you no doubt assumeContinue reading “I’m a Christian who Celebrates Hanukkah”

A Sonnet to Self

By Leah Jordan Meahl How wonderful it is to be so rich, With beauty like a precious stone of quartz, And shine with light so glittering and clear. No one can hardly stand but notice you, Your steps so strong and eyes that rise above It all. The Sun marks clear the way beforeContinue reading “A Sonnet to Self”

America Black and Blue

Let us fight for justice the way Jesus instructed us to fight.

The Purple GT

My summer job allows me to turn up the Christian radio and sip on my coffee as I spend the mornings driving all over town making deliveries. Those closest to me know that I’m not a huge fan of driving, so this job is definitely God’s way of pushing me out of my comfort zone.Continue reading “The Purple GT”

Glory be to Me!

I stood backstage with my fellow cast members as we waited for the houselights to go down. The pre-show butterflies fluttered around my stomach causing me to pace. Finally, the announcements began. It was nearly time to take the stage again in front of a new audience. This particular night, as the announcer prayed, IContinue reading “Glory be to Me!”

God, I will be so angry with you.

I had to usher Mom into the house, both of us on the verge of hysterics as we listened to the sound of one of our kittens crying out for help from atop a tree. It was only a matter of time when one of our two kittens, about 6 months old, would discover howContinue reading “God, I will be so angry with you.”
