Cleansing the Temple: Our work post the inauguration of Trump.

Last updated on: January 18, 2017 at 6:17 pm By Kimberly Stover

As I awoke from my depressed slumber from the late eve of election night, I immediately checked my phone for the results. There it was. Donald Trump had won the presidential election of The United States of America. Tears started to well, and body temperature began to raise as I could feel my cheeks getting hot. A great feeling of sadness waved over me and all I wanted to do was pull my blanket over my head and stay all... Read more

Debating Jesus, Part I.

Last updated on: January 15, 2017 at 3:27 pm By Kimberly Stover

From the moment I was born, I was immersed in Fundamental Christianity, pointed toward Jesus. I had no choice in the matter, nor did I have any other reality to perceive. Jesus loves me, he died for me, and I have to earnestly ask him to come into my heart, and if I don’t, I will go to hell after I die. Hell was explained in very literal terms where it was an actual physical place where fire would burn... Read more

Debating Christ, Part 2.

Last updated on: January 15, 2017 at 2:59 pm By Kimberly Stover

I imagine that if Jesus was physically here today he’d knock at my door after being invited over to lunch, and I would open the door and see a brown skinned middle Eastern man, dressed in something he purchased at a thrift store, and he’d be carrying a nice home brewed bottle of red. Standing next to him would be an interpreter of language because we couldn’t understand each other without one. He doesn’t speak English, and I don’t speak... Read more

God is…

Last updated on: January 9, 2017 at 4:05 pm By Kimberly Stover

God is the sunset, with her hues of purple, red, and hints of gold. He’s the snow that falls in the night, only so she can sparkle like diamonds at dawn. He’s a labyrinth of adventure. She’s a wing of safety, freedom, and Love. She’s the Life in your Spirit, and he’s your blood on fire. We are God, together. A piece of God, alone. God is everything. God is…Everyone. He isn’t outside. She lives within. Waiting to be noticed.... Read more

A Message of Hope this Christmas to a Dying World

Last updated on: December 14, 2016 at 2:29 pm By Kimberly Stover

Approximately 2000 years ago a Jewish man began walking the earth, speaking revolutionary words and performing healing miracles. He didn’t speak English. He wasn’t American or Christian. He wasn’t a democrat or a republican. He was just a man. A 33 year old man with a regular blue collar job. A carpenter who left it all to “back-pack” across the Middle East and spread his message. He spoke of loving others. He spoke of using non-violence to solve conflicts. He... Read more
