My God Space: March 2011
http://im4givn.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
March 15, 2011. Lent(ish) – Day 5. So I decided to stop taking in all of this stuff and see what happened. Would I become completely out of touch with the world, but be happier? The first few days were a little hard because I’m a news junkie. I like knowing what’s going on in the world. But I stayed on course. Then suddenly the whole experiment was put into jeopardy when the catastrophe hit Japan. I saw a Twitter post saying there was an 8.9 earthquake followed by a tsunami. Links to this post. It’...

My God Space: Let's Pray Real Quick
http://im4givn.blogspot.com/2014/06/lets-pray-real-quick.html
June 24, 2014. Let's Pray Real Quick. It’s a statement I hear often, and aside from being a grammatical tragedy it also leaves me wondering if the event may not go as well as it would if we had stopped and spent time truly communicating with God first. What would our mindset be after 20 minutes of connecting with God instead of 20 seconds? 8221; Mark 9:29. Jesus is telling us that prayer is so powerful that it can drive out the most stubborn of evil spirits. God, thank you for the gift of prayer. Tha...

My God Space: January 2012
http://im4givn.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
January 12, 2012. The Choice of Blaming. I'm surprised everyone in the room couldn't hear my heart breaking. All Ryan said was "Fair enough," and we sat in silence eating our lunch. He finished his meal and said it was nice to meet me and went on his way, alone, head down, destroyed. God, I pray for pastor Ryan. Please reveal your plan for his life and relieve him of the hell in which he has relegated his life. I know you don't want that for him. Please. Heal him.". Links to this post.

My God Space: May 2012
http://im4givn.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
May 10, 2012. Finding the Right Direction. In a recent interview President Obama came out of the metaphoric closet and said that he supports homosexual marriage. That’s his prerogative as an American and this post isn’t about marriage, it’s about priorities and focus. It’s amazing to me that homosexual marriage is such a big deal in this country. Seriously, it’s a topic that gets talked about on the news almost every week, and it’s caused division in our society on a national scale. What does it say abou...

My God Space: A Book and Its Cover
http://im4givn.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-book-and-its-cover.html
December 18, 2014. A Book and Its Cover. The owner of the pub is a neat lady named Tina, and she comes up with fun things to do which the pub sponsors, and one of those events is a Mystery Tour. The concept is fun, you meet at the pub on a certain day and everyone piles into a bus. Where does it go you ask? Only Tina and the bus driver know, it’s a mystery! We all wondered if this guy should be driving his own car, let alone a passenger bus. The driver nestled the violin under his chin, raised the bow, a...

My God Space: December 2010

December 21, 2010. Jackie finished her undergraduate degree at age 61 with a 4.0 GPA. But that wasn't enough for her, she went on to receive a Masters degree a few years later, again with a perfect 4.0 average. She finally became a teacher, bringing her education full circle to do what she did best, enlighten others. Rest in peace, beautiful soul. Links to this post. December 9, 2010. The Bill of Subterfuge. I just have to weigh in on the news I've been reading about the bill defeated today in Congress b...

My God Space: April 2011
http://im4givn.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
April 25, 2011. I wanted to see what life would be like without the negative inputs that can come from media. So I cut out everything: no liberally biased NPR radio, no conservative leaning Fox News, no news at all except for collateral information gleaned from posts on Facebook or Twitter. What did I learn from this experience? Why was this news that everyone in San Antonio needed to know? Has my social experiment changed me in any way? Overall, I’ve felt better the past 40 days not having the ...

My God Space: September 2010
http://im4givn.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
September 9, 2010. To Build, or Not to Build. I’ve been reading about this religious place some people want to build that has some other people up in arms. The residents are saying they don’t want it there and it’s not an appropriate place for it. So where do we draw the line between our personal likes and dislikes, and what this country actually stands for? On one hand, this happens a lot. Residents in New York once stopped a Wal-Mart from being built simply because they didn’t want it in thei...But the...

My God Space: October 2013

October 24, 2013. Forget Priorities. Blame Someone! So recently the Affordable Healthcare Act went into effect and people can now go to HealthCare.gov ( link. To create an account and find healthcare resources. Well, it didn’t go so well. The site has been plagued with problems, everything from not being able to sign in to incorrect pricing for insurance plans, and now it’s a daily headline about the company that created the site being substandard ( link. A website that doesn’t work as advertised? But le...
