Only Wounded Soldiers Can Serve

Only Wounded Soldiers Can Serve

“When you die……have you ever wondered what people will say about you at your funeral?” I take a sip of my drink and mull this over. In High School I wasn’t a very popular kid, so planning my own mental funeral was a game I played to see if anyone would really miss me. Would [...]

The Best Acceptance Speech of All Time

The Best Acceptance Speech of All Time

The Grammy’s is a day for music fans to gather, remember, and celebrate the best music of the past year. When Adele won the Album of the Year award in 2012, we all got to take part in a celebration of her music. We got to smile as she did, snicker at her bloody brilliant [...]

Envelope

He stared at the blood stained manila envelope, sitting on his dresser, unaware at the contents inside of it.  As he picked it up, his hands trembled at the thought “I can’t believe it…he wrote to me.” As he opened the envelope, trying ever so carefully to not get his hands stained, he couldn’t help [...]

Mud or Masterpiece?

Mud or Masterpiece?

This is just not right!” Tracy thought. “How am I supposed to worship God with that right in front of me?” Tracy sat completely distracted by the woman with short, spiky blue hair occupying the seat in front of her. She quickly processed the information—no makeup, short hair, blue-jean jacket, pierced, and tattooed—and delivered the [...]

Are You A Pharisee? Probably.

Are You A Pharisee? Probably.

I deeply wounded a Heartsupport reader recently. The two of us had begun a conversation on faith, sexuality, life, and God.  He (we’ll call him *Alex as he’s asked me to protect his identity), had said a few things I disagreed with and in return I sent him an email challenging his faith, his relationship [...]

Covered In Vomit For Christmas

Covered In Vomit For Christmas

My 2 year old niece calls me “Uncle Suds”. When my niece, Raegan, was born I immediately protested the given name of “Uncle Ben” due to the fact I didn’t want to sound like a white rice pilaf or Spiderman’s uncle, so I had her start calling me “Uncle Sledge”.  Being that most 2 year [...]

The Line Between the Pig Trough and Pouting

The Line Between the Pig Trough and Pouting

  “Christian simply means condemnation” My friend Sandy tells me this calmly as he sips coffee and I rub my eyes because it’s 6:15 in the morning. “When this guy at work found out I was a Christian….that’s what he said.” Sandy is one of those guys who’s soft spoken and always stoic looking, but [...]
