A Date with the Devil? (Part 2)

Last updated on: March 20, 2011 at 4:32 pm   By Grace Sandra

In conclusion to part 1, the one about why I shouldn’t date demons or want to run off and marry them in Vegas. I press on. A dear friend reminded me the other day how often faith looks like confusion and courage looks like fear. Who among us has ever faced a life-altering event with complete bravery?  She said that in me she sees faith and courage.  She says that when it comes down to it, I’ll do that which... Read more

The One About Why I Shouldn’t Date Demons. (Or Want to Run off & Marry Them in Vegas) Part 1 of 2

Last updated on: March 18, 2011 at 12:13 am   By Grace Sandra

I’m pretty sure my past has caught up to me. Back when I was in undergrad, a boy I loved broke up with me and I lost my marbles.  Of course,  I’m thankful now that he gave me the old heave-ho, but back then it forced me to face demons that frankly, scared the bejeezus out of me.  My neck started killing me, I had panic attacks and was severely depressed.  At the time, I didn’t believe in “depression,” thinking... Read more

I’m -Like- Soooo Promiscuous Y’all

Last updated on: March 14, 2011 at 10:36 pm   By Grace Sandra

Socially, speaking. Recently, an article ran in the LA Times about how women who post lots of photos of themselves on facebook value appearance and need lots of attention. The article goes on to say that women who spent a lot of time managing their profiles, the number of photos they shared, the size of their online networks and how promiscuous they were in terms of “friending” behavior and have the largest social networks were more highly vested in their... Read more

Lent: I’m Finsta go Ninja on yo behind!

Last updated on: March 9, 2011 at 10:57 am   By Grace Sandra

If your new to Lent, here’s the wiki primer on Lent. The gist?  Lent is the 40 day season leading up to Easter, beginning on Ash Wednesday.  All a part of the Christian Liturgical Year.  It’s typically a Catholic tradition.  I’m not Catholic but a good idea, is a good idea, right?  It’s meant to help one keep the gospel of Jesus in the forefront while we allow ourselves to journey with Jesus on the sad journey towards the cross... Read more

Remember the time I fell upside down and hung by my shoe and my two twist ponytails got caught in a tree and we had to pick the needles out for 3 hours? No, I didn’t remember it either. Until now.

Last week, facebook connected me to a friend I grew up with.  We met at 6, dated by 8, made out by 9.  Broke up by 9.5.  Then it was over until I tried to flirt my way into his heart during our college years at Wayne State.  He now says he turned me down then because he “was a total dooch bag.” (more…) Read more
