My mother is one of the most amazing women in the world. Really. Sometimes I just look at her and wonder how I got so lucky to have her as my mom. She’s incredibly smart, fun, light-hearted, diligent, passionate, loving and self-less. She grew up on a farm in Ohio with 5 brothers and became a nun out of highschool, which she graduated from at the top of her class. After she graduated college and before making her final vows, she got radically saved, met my dad during the Jesus Movement in the 70’s and the rest…well, the rest is below, from my point of view, anyways. For each of my 28 years, my mom has impacted me beyond measure. I want to share a snapshot of that impact below. Here’s to you mom! I love you! Continue Reading »
I so enjoyed reading this post by Shawn Blanc that I decided to do one myself. I’ll share with you what a typical Friday is like for me, because that’s my day-off, and it’s usually more diverse than a regular day, which would look like: work, eat, pray, sleep - unless it was Tuesday, which would then look like: pray, pray, pray, sleep. So, here’s a glimpse into my oh-so-exciting life: A look at yesterday, Friday the 11th, a day-off in the life of Molly.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Yes. But what does this mean? Many people sing this song and immediately assume that these lyrics justify complete unrestraint in the expression of their heart in a corporate gathering – freedom to shout, freedom to dance, freedom to clap and sing as loudly as desired. I greatly appreciate corporate contexts where this behavior is valued and expressed. I love clapping, shouting and dancing. What I do not appreciate is mass misunderstanding of the principle of this verse and the implications of this misunderstanding to a corporate body. Without understanding, immaturity and self-seeking fester, and a lack of meekness and love is the result. Continue Reading »
Flamingo Road Church in Cooper City, Florida just launched a website – ivescrewedup.com - where you can confess your sins anonymously for all the world wide web to see. Jennifer Lebovich of the Miami Herald wrote an article about this site, portions of which I’ve included below: Continue Reading »
Well, the mysterious and potentially diagnostic pain in my ear is completely gone! Yay! Thanks to everyone who prayed for me. I’m glad to not feel like someone is shoving an envelope-opener into my ear canal anymore. Continue Reading »
Well, I went to the emergency room earlier tonight to get to the bottom of some pretty intense stabbing pain in my ear that I’ve been feeling the last couple weeks. I thought it would go away but then my face and scalp started to hurt, on the right side of my head, the same side as the hurting ear. So I thought that was weird. So I went to St. Luke’s and they checked me out. All I can say is, dear Lord, please don’t let the doctor’s diagnosis be true. Continue Reading »
Here’s a tough one – why do most alarm clocks’ snooze alarms go off every 9 minutes? I would think 10 would be the obvious choice. Those 9 minutes are brutal - I’m guessing there’s something scienctific behind 9 – it must be the perfect number of minutes to let you almost drift back to sleep, and then BAM! You are jolted awake, robbed of that 10th minute that would have somehow made the alarm less annoying. Anyone know what’s up with the 9 minutes?
Also, for fun, try to convey what your alarm sounds like. Mine is like this…EHNT, EHNT, EHNT, EHNT…
Kiss your coffee goodbye. Shower Shock soap featured by Think Geek helps you wake up because it contains caffeine, which you absorb directly into your skin as you lather up.
I know.
A random comment by Mike Baker on Steve and Amanda Offfut’s wordcast prompted me to remember one of my favorite books from when I was a kid – BARBAPAPA! Who remembers the awesomeness that Barbapapa was? I have not met many people who have even heard of him, so I’d be really interested to find out who knows what I’m talkin’ about.
