"Where Sin Abounded, Grace Did Much More Abound" Romans 5:20
I once asked Mary Magdalene in the course of a conversation what the point was in being born. Specifically, I was questioning why I was born, because trying to muck through the fallout from a traumatic childhood has often left me feeling as if my existance on Earth has been pointless. But to my question… Continue reading Becoming Fully Human
A little more than a year ago, I was unexpectedly given a vision of Hell, and in many ways, it wasn't what I'd expected. Certain aspects, yes, but there were several things that surprised me. I've been a little hesitant to write about this, because so many visions of Hell that people have claimed to have had are really in many ways just projections of their own fears or convoluted beliefs about God's nature, and to claim to have a vision of Hell feels to me to be a bit sensationalized or overly dramatic, which is a turn-off in my opinion.

These questions were related to specific struggles I've had as an adult that are directly connected to my suffering as a child. A Caveat Throughout the years, I've had many questions surrounding suffering, as I'm… Continue reading Conversation with Mary, 7-24-24
Happy Feast Day of Mary Magdalene! 😊❤ In the charismatic churches I grew up in, we never really celebrated Feast Days, aside from the main ones that were Christianized, Protestantized, and tweaked even further to suit our charismatic palette, such as Easter (also known as Feast of First Fruits, among other things), so at this… Continue reading Meeting Mary
