This week was VBS at McKinney Fellowship. Our theme for the week – in case you hadn’t already guessed – was Cokesbury’s Galactic Blast, a week of learning about the universe, the cosmos, and the God who created and rules over all of it. As you might suspect, I was privileged to be on the… Continue reading Havin’ a BLAST! (Galactic Blast, that is)

Threads of Gratitude: Birthday “Suit” Edition
Wait…that didn’t come out quite right. *sigh* Regardless, it’s Thursday, and it’s time for some gratitude. And in honor of my 12th anniversary of my 29th birthday, I’m going to offer up 41 reasons I’m grateful. DEBILY’S TOP 41: I’M GRATEFUL…. for another year to celebrate life, even if I am officially over the hill. … Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Birthday “Suit” Edition
Threads of Gratitude: White Linen Cloths Edition
Sin is dirty. Ugly. Staining. A bloody smear across a canvas of white. Sin is shameful. Wretched. Filthy. Exposing my nakedness to a mocking, unforgiving world. Heaping guilt upon guilt for all the times I have failed, fallen, given in. Sin is constantly reminding. Accusing. Judging. A cruel tormentor to my burdened soul. Amidst all… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: White Linen Cloths Edition
AI Predictions: A Perfect 10!
LOST has completely messed with my universe. First, we have the mysteries of the island. Then we have alternate timelines and realities and smoke monsters taking the form of formerly dead characters. As if that weren’t enough, now we have the whole mythos of the “list” and the “candidates” and the balance between light and… Continue reading AI Predictions: A Perfect 10!
AI Predictions: The Final 11
Really, I should just take a mulligan on this because: 1) I haven’t watched the show yet and 2) I don’t really have time to blog about a show I haven’t even watched. But I’m not going to do that. I’m going to live on the edge and make a prediction based solely on the… Continue reading AI Predictions: The Final 11
AI Predictions: The Final 12!
It’s that time of year again…March Madness, Spring Forward, and Debily’s American Idol Predictions!! Seriously, folks, it doesn’t get much more exciting than this. For those of you who are new to my blog, this has become a tradition for the past couple of years. Before I head out to party with the Idol Girls… Continue reading AI Predictions: The Final 12!
Clear as Mud
That last post was far too serious. Now for something a little more light-hearted. I’ve always loved the AFLAC ad with Yogi Berra. When I received this from one of my piano teacher friends, I knew I had to share it. Enjoy! “YOGI BERRA NOT EXPLAINING WHAT JAZZ ISN’T, OR SOMETHING” Interviewer: “Can you explain… Continue reading Clear as Mud
Livin’ on the E.D.G.E.
This week is VBS week at McKinney Fellowship. Our theme this year is Camp E.D.G.E.: Experience and Discover God Everywhere. It’s a cool theme and the church is decked out with terrific Camp ambience. This is my first year to volunteer for VBS at McFBC and – no surprise – I was placed with the… Continue reading Livin’ on the E.D.G.E.
In a Nutshell
A friend of mine is on a creative journey and part of the process has been to write a 7-word bio. For me, that would be more of a punishment than a “creative process.” What? Only 7 words? You must be joking! Surely you mean 700…and even that’s a stretch to truly define “ME.” Alas,… Continue reading In a Nutshell
Threads of Gratitude: Coat of Many Colors Edition
This week, I have been involved in a music camp of a different sort. The participants are a little older than last week’s, and the content is certainly more challenging in many ways. It’s the annual elementary-age music camp, and this year they’re doing Joseph: A STOMP Musical. And as I’ve gone through this week,… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Coat of Many Colors Edition
