  i write and teach Bible studies to lots of cool ladies. There. That explains the lack of blogging going on around here. We just ended a cool 11 weeks of Ecclesiastes; i was writing the study for a few months before that. It’s been deep. It’s been heavy, but mostly, it’s been rich and […]

(re-post from 2014, true then, true today) Re-entry. Head is still a mess…heart is tangled up, too. But felt like I need to get some words down and out there in the middle of this spin cycle of re-entry. 24 hours ago I woke up in Hopkins, Belize. No, not the fancy resort part of […]

one year and five months.

by Kris · Aug 1, 2016

(originally posted on June 17, 2006) One year and five months. As I type this, my hands are shaking. Remembering. Feeling it all again.
