Memoirs of a Redhead

Yesterday afternoon I arrived safely at the Philadelphia airport.  I had a couple-hour wait because I was hitchin’ a ride to my parents’ place with my brother and his family, who were flying in from Chicago.  Salivating about the Philly cheesesteaks my mom was going to make for dinner, I…

Just walked in from a quick jog. I’m beat.  Last night I worked out at Curves and was ultra-motivated to jog.  So I went to my friend Jamie’s house and used her treadmill.   My goal was simple-one mile.  It was during this time that I realized just how out of…

I just finished my 2 month study on the book of Isaiah, which in its 66 books has an abundance of lessons to learn.  I have been intrigued by history (although I’ve never been a great history student, remembering facts) and in reading through this book I have seen God’s…

Friends are so great!  This past Sunday night I got to hang out with some of my coolest friends-and I even got to make a new friend in the process.  We had our annual CotK Christmas Challenge and our team was "Jingle Bells".  We did a picture scavenger hunt around…

It’s confession time.  I lied today.  I’m not a liar and I hate that I did it but I couldn’t think quick enough, and to be honest, looking back now I don’t know what else I could’ve said. We did the Secret Santa thing at work and at the end…

Nope!  I’m not talking about the movie. Here I am at Caribou (as always, working hard on a Saturday night:).  This guy comes in and sits in the comfy chair diagonally from me, in front of the fire.  He didn’t buy anything (and he’s clearly not with anyone), so I…

Last night I had a conversation with someone about guarding our hearts.  I was sharing some of my own failures in that area and about how I was realizing that the purpose of us guarding our hearts had to do with others, and not just ourselves.  It’s an area that…

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have recently stumbled upon an amazing gospel singer named DeWayne Woods.  You’ve gotta check this guy out!  I referenced him a couple weeks ago when I talked about a song that kept coming across my path, "Let Go."  After searching for awhile, I ended up finding…

It’s late and I’m tired, but I really wanted to publicly announce just how much I love hangin’ out with Sullivan kids!  Tonight I had the pleasure of watching them (this is no sarcastic pleasure…it’s pure pleasure).  Jonathon had us cracking up at the dinner table, doing his funny imitations…

Allow me to give you a backstory to what you’re about to read.  During the summer of 2000, I had a conversation with a good friend of mine one evening.  It was a Wednesday night and we had just left our regular Praise Gathering-completely inspired by God’s presence.  It was…
