Everything Is Gonna Be Alright...

Everywhere I turn people are going through things that seem to be weighing them down, me included. This song - Three Little Birds by Bob Marley - just makes me happy and somehow seems to make all of the obstacles less insurmountable...

What Are Marshmallows Really Made Of?

This is the subtitle to my blog title, and there is a story behind it (just think high school, Monty Python, and junk food at 2:00 AM), but enough about that. A friend of mine read the subtitle and laughed out loud because she had written a wonderful poem about Marshmallows over at Peace Lives Here. Please check it out!

Be A Marshmallow

I Was Having A Conversation With A Friend...

Were you expecting a joke? I know, the title seemed like a lead-in to a joke, but really, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine just over an hour ago. We were discussing the trappings of seminars, conventions, etc., on how to ______________ (fill in the blank) instead of just following what God has already told us to do - to listen to Him and His direction. Then I read this post by Keith Giles, and he put it so much better than I ever could that I will send you over his way to read his blog. Ironically, in sending you to read the post in a way I am actually doing the opposite of what he is posting about.

Stop. Shut Up. Move.

Okay, for those of you expecting a joke, here you go:

A rabbi, a priest, a pastor, and a monk all walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What is this, some kind of joke?"
