Sunday Night Slowjam: You Make Me Feel Brand New– The Stylistics
I wish people still wrote songs like this. A love song filled with gratitude. Whenever I listen to it, I end up screaming the chorus with my arms raised above my head. My roommates have learned that I will sing to them on my knees when this song comes on. It’s super-fun to live with […]

Found In Philly
As the bus pulled into Philadelphia, I started to feel anxious.

Thirsty trees sprout Up from the earth awaiting the truth of summer rains. John 3:31-36
Naked and Not Ashamed: Lessons in Vulnerability From Adam and Eve
Each death brings up the last one and the one before. When it happens, I have to let the names reverberate in my soul like residual sound waves from the repeated crashing of cymbals. I can brace myself, but each vibration is stronger than the last, emanating from my chest until I’m on my back. […]
Sunday Night Slowjam: This Woman’s Work– Maxwell
