Greetings to all in this strange time we find ourselves in. And that's the proper way to put it, isn't it? I find myself here. I am a nurse in the time of COVID-19. While I find discrepancy between the state of the hospitals and the state of the hospitals as told on the news, … Continue reading the heart of the sea: a lengthy blog post of a Christian facing COVID-19

saved by grace at lent
I’m often attempting to delicately articulate what this Genesis commentary - produced by Tim Keller - expresses. It took me a long time and lots of fumbling around to be grabbed by this message which I now understand to be the complete gospel of Christ. Paradox-y, strange, nonsensical, holy. This lent is my season of … Continue reading saved by grace at lent
I ran out of anxiety
Seven and eight years ago I experienced anxiety attacks after the quick death of my mother from a ruthless type of cancer. I could almost count on the attacks on specific days of the week. I reached out to professionals for help (and they did help!) but still struggled. In time I started to realize … Continue reading I ran out of anxiety
I did a thing
I competed in a triathlon. I swam. I biked. I ran. I conquered! Well... I completed it. Completing a triathlon is one of those things I never saw coming (until I started training for it last year). After the fact, I sort of still cannot believe I did it. That was me! I did it. … Continue reading I did a thing
til death do us part
A few friends of mine have encouraged me to write a column or blog on dating on a number of occasions because I always seem to have new funny dating stories to tell. Of course, writing about them does not appeal to me because the funniest details would be obvious to the person I’m writing … Continue reading til death do us part
hope
I think that hope calls from a long way off but from the most intimate and close place, too. I've occasionally struggled to maintain a sense of hope and I think this is a more common thing of modern living. A lot of life is singular, fringe-y, and alone. I'm certain that in times past, … Continue reading hope
Thanks be to God
Today is Good Friday! Good Friday is the remembrance day of the death of the Christ. Why is it called "good"? The majesty of Christ is understood by his followers in his part of the tri-union with God the Father and Spirit. Jesus exhibits that he is God during his earthly ministry by miracles (and … Continue reading Thanks be to God
a heavenly father
From Matthew 6, Jesus talking: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there … Continue reading a heavenly father
grace in all things
It's the mosquitoes that inspire me the most to keep up an adequate pace running through severe southern heat and humidity. The moment I stop they're ready, prepared to taunt my weakness by most annoying stings of itch. The dastardly beings offer contrast of miseries: remain scorched with poison spots I must will myself not … Continue reading grace in all things
living: on crutches
I have a temporary problem (let's hope!) but a problem, nonetheless. I cut my foot in a significant enough way to inhibit my normal living by causing me to rely on crutches for ambulating. On the bottom of my right foot are cuts (rather than a single cut) that are too painful and open-woundlike to … Continue reading living: on crutches
