Friends, colleagues and I sometimes discuss our celebrity crushes. One Sunday afternoon, some friends from bible study and I started talking about our biblical crushes.
As the conversation progressed, I told them all about my interest in Paul. He was a writer and a great communicator. His heart was on fire for Jesus. He made several mistakes, learned from them, and never let them grapple him with fear and condemnation.
Y’all. I have a biblical crush on Paul.
Hello, my name is Toni and I’m a sinner.
Just like you.
And your friends.
And the most religious person you know.
And your mama too.
For years I’ve written about my life as a mom. In 2006, I started blogging as a mommy blogger. I wore that title proudly and as my writing focus has changed over the years, so has my title. Just this year, for example, I changed the title of this blog in anticipation of a very important event.
My oldest is going to college and leaving the nest. Continue reading “Born in 2000…College in 2018”
One of the things I enjoy most about being a blogger is that I get to share my family with the world. When the kids were little, it was fun. Know that they are older, it’s still fun and funny, but it’s also heart-warming.
In all of their extra, rebellion, and emotion, they are also amazing. Every day they give me something to be in awe of. Every.single.day.
Especially when one of them is preparing to teach a bible lesson to her church youth group. Continue reading “A Girl, Her Teaching, and The Bible”
Every once in a while, the Internet does strange things that make people like me panic and go absolutely crazy. Some are justified, some are not. Last week, a new law went into effect and it caused bloggers everywhere (including me) to panic and update our privacy policies.
And if that wasn’t enough, we then have to notify our readers that everything’s been updated. I did all my updating on May 24, 2018. You can now consider yourself officially notified.
The updated Terms of Use and Privacy Policy will protect your privacy and adhere to GDPR, also know as the new privacy law in Europe. But Toni, I don’t live Europe. You don’t, but this little old blog does have a handful of readers in Europe, and I’m here for the internet safety of everyone in the whole wide world.
Yes, it’s that serious. Continue reading “Your Secrets Are Safe With Me (Let’s Talk About GDPR)”
