What is The Mudroom? October 26, 2016. Bull; 1 Comment. Amy sat with me on my screened porch at the lake, listening the way only a woman who has spent thirty years as a cloistered nun in a monastery, then three more years training to be a therapist, can listen. You have compassion fatigue, she said. I asked. There’s an actual name for this? It’s not just that I can’t manage my time and relationships well? I feel a little slammed. Isn’t that an oxymoron? Then my role is Julie, the Cruise Director. Amy ask...

What is The Mudroom? When Compassion is Exhausting. October 10, 2016. Bull; 2 Comments. The first year of giving a crap, that’s the exciting one. For me, it was back in 2009 and Twitter was a twinkly new toy and. Was a new buzzword and everyone had a birthday campaign. This year for my birthday,. All I want is clean water for a village,.

What is The Mudroom? Social Justice is a Pot of Spaghetti Sauce. October 12, 2016. Bull; 6 Comments. I didn’t want to write a post on social justice. It feels fake sitting on my couch in my largely white, affluent, suburban neighborhood. What do I have to say? As a white woman, I feel like my steps at connection across lines even on Facebook feel privileged, bumbling, and awkward. Justice cannot be a platform. Justice flows from the heart of God. What did I have to offer? Nothing, rang out loud and clear.

What is The Mudroom? The Places We Are Pierced. May 8, 2015. Bull; 17 Comments. Wondering what it means. To follow a God who points to his scars as a sign of resurrection. –. It is the Thomas part that they always harped on in Sunday school. Thomas, the guy who was doubting, the guy who didn’t believe. It was not the Jesus part, and it certainly wasn’t the scars part. I found myself red faced and weeping in front of a Facebook status asking for prayer. I may have been healed, but there was still plenty o...

What is The Mudroom? A Peculiar Kind of Christianity. October 28, 2016. Bull; 0 Comments. One of the verses that was drummed into my head as I was growing up in the church was 1 Peter 2:9. 8220;But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light”. There was even a praise song we’d sing in church, that was basically just this verse. We knew the way to live that insur...

What is The Mudroom? The God Who Sees. August 12, 2015. Bull; 12 Comments. I’m the girl you know who overplays the role of prophet. Cassandra and I would have gotten along just fine. Sometimes I warn people in conversation, I’m just that girl, who gives unwanted perspective all the time. I shoot from the hip. If you want sweet and sugarcoated, go play with someone else. I stop my tongue. Even my bedrock, most unchangeable convictions are challenging. I don’t believe in making more money, rising up la...
