{merry Christmas folks}

The time of year in which red and green, jingle-bell songs, star-shaped sugar cookies covered in sprinkles, pine scent throughout the house, wrapping paper cuts, shopping frenzies, holiday cards, gingerbread houses, tacky sweater parties, anticipation, lists, stress, online shopping, hoping it arrives in time-ing, peppermints, hot chocolate....it's everywhere. You can't turn on the TV without seeing a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie. Every radio station is playing Christmas music...both the annoying ones and your favorites. All the stores have their shelves and walls and even ceilings weighed down with crazy decorations. Driving through your neighborhood means a mini light show. Late night snacks end up being leftover sugar cookie dough. {which is the best} Christmas hymns are sung at church. Little brothers count down the days to the glorious morning of Christmas. It's December, y'all, and that means Christmas time. It means braving the mall and sh...

People disappoint people. People let other people down. People hurt people.  People are broken and sinful. Parents, siblings, friends, parents of friends, acquaintances, people you don't even know personally but know enough about them (through countless hours of stalking on social media...come on, I can't be the only one) to basically know them...we all have those in our lives who we look up to.

Maybe you start reading the books they read, singing the songs they sing, wearing the kind of clothes they wear, praying the way the way they pray, posting the k...

{to share or not to share...that shouldn't be the question}

I was in the grocery store tonight, like I am A LOT of the time (we are very regular at our local grocery stores.) and as I was checking out I told the 2 cashiers who were there about something exciting...something wonderful and heavenly. I told them about Pirate Day at Krispy Kreme. "The deal is," I said, "if you talk like a pirate you get one free donut and if you dress up like a pirate you get a free dozen." I mean...how amazing is that, right? A dozen free, hot, Krispy Kreme donuts.  It is a wonderful, exciting thing. The 2 people I shared this with thought so too....in fact they said they were definitely going to do it because who doesn't want free donuts? Especially Krispy Kreme. It was so easy to tell them about it. I felt obligated to do so too, because free donuts is something everyone should know about and take advantage of. I feel like I made their weekend that much better. So why did I beat the steering wheel on my way home in anger and f...
