musings of the dog obsessed

The Henry Hugglemonster and I sure do enjoy bedtime! Especially after long days of excitement and/or separation. Nothing like coming home exhausted from work to a happy greeting and good, quality, soft, furry snuggling. (I could do without getting jumped on though...we're still working on that one)

when theology offends and almost destroys you

Christian theology emphasizes our fallen world and fallen humanity right and left. Jesus came to be the "2nd Adam" because the first Adam condemned us all to be slaves to sin (no matter how hard we fight it).  I have a big problem with this teaching. The aim is to point everyone to their need for salvation and make what is holy fundamentally necessary in our lives (i.e., to point us to Christ). However, the reality is that it teaches us to look down on our planet, ourselves, and those around us as fallen or ruined until Christ comes again. Salvation is supposed to be what sets us free from this slavery to sin and death. However, Christianity never gave me freedom from sin. It merely gave me freedom to confess my sins and gave me forgiveness . Sure, that perfect, utopian, absolute freedom from sin happens when you die or Jesus returns, but what about now? I'll be honest, as a kid, it made me hate myself, and want to kill myself. I'm talking ...

Yes, I'm pregnant and it's a good thing

Many have been concerned about the fact that I'm pregnant, so let me set you all at ease. Once upon a time, doctors were not sure what my health issues were and serious consequences arose to the possibility of me getting pregnant (such as permanent paralysis). Then, I got a new GP who referred me to many specialists who ruled those possibilities out.  My GP then reached the conclusion that I most likely have something called Porphyria. A very rare, hereditary blood disease that literally explains all  of my symptoms (consequently, many can carry the disease without any symptoms). Thus far, they have not been able to definitively prove or diagnose me with Porphyria, but living like I have it has proven to help me manage my symptoms.  Once my doctor deduced this possible diagnosis, he told me I should get pregnant.  Studies have shown that menopause, for instance, can lessen symptoms or completely cure symptoms of this disease due to its sensitivity to hormone cha...

2013 Tour P.6

 Hello April!   (both the month and my beautiful friend April Green whose house I stayed at when I got back) I returned to Memphis the evening of April 1 st and the rest of my time in Tennessee was quickly filled with hours in the STUDIO! Kirk Smith was amazing to work with and all the pre-production help he gave me before this made our time in the studio a lot smoother than I had expected. See, I am NOT good at playing guitar in time and a producer who can get me to play in time is, seriously, the BIZ-NESS ! Not to mention the fact that his arrangement "suggestions" made my songs even better! Then we brought in my friend Matt Fritzler to play some percussion on some songs, as well as Chaz Mattison on the shaker. I couldn't have dreamt of better people to work with on this project! Now, I am looking forward to a day when I can play with people LIVE to re-create the magic we made in the studio (it's THAT awesome!) - Beyond excited!
