The End of the World As We Know It

So I have this niece who lives in paradise. You think I am speaking metaphorically? I am not, thank you very much. The girl LIVES on the Hawaiian island of Kauai… where it’s pristine, and paradisaical, and practically perfect in every way. All day. Every day. Sure. Whatever. Of course, I am crazy jeal… I mean, […]

PODCAST: Mrs. Oswald Chambers… the woman who gave her utmost so we could read “My Utmost…” – chatting with Michelle Ule.

I suppose it’s possible you’ve never heard of My Utmost for His Highest? Not that we’re here to judge you if you haven’t, of course. (Hey you, rolling your eyes, be nice. We’ve got all types here, remember?) Juuust in case you haven’t, well, you’re in for a double treat, my friend. It’s only considered […]

A New Logo for a New Year! And Permission to to be Imperfect…

Hey, look, it’s a Brand New Logo! Wheeeee! Shout out to Andrew Maher, of Maher-velous Graphic Design for turning my Misfit design dreams into reality… (I just totally made that name up, by the way… cause I think it’s a cool name… plus I’m weird… but I’m NOT making Andrew up. He’s for real. And […]

B’bye 2017… and one more mini PODCAST to boot – and this time I’M the guest!

For a newbie blogger/podcaster type like me, it’s been a great year! And of course, I have YOU to thank. Yes, YOU over there in that cool new Christmas SWEATER (DON’T return it, it looks great on you)… And you with the phone in your hand… All of yous. In just a few short months […]

And So This is Christmas…

A Merry Misfit Christmas to you! Ready or not. Perfect or not. Merry or not. The Day is here. Even if you didn’t get it all done. Even if the family fun… took a turn for the dysfunctional. Christmas is here. And you know what? All is well. Emmanuel has come. Even into your present […]

PODCAST: Hungry? Literally or metaphorically, Shellie Rushing Tomlinson’s got you covered…

Come for Grandma Stone’s Butter Pecan Muffins. Stay for the wit and wisdom of Shellie Rushing Tomlinson, as we talk about her newly released devotional… oh, and did I mention she threw in a few recipes as well? As in the whole Grandma Stone deal? And that’s just the start. This is what we call […]

PODCAST: The search for Stolen Jesus… with Jami Amerine

Who stole Jesus? That’s not very nice. They should put Him back. Or at least tell us how to find, or reclaim Him. Now, I’m not talking about manger scenes… although this time of year is when we hear about such hijinks… I’m talking about… well… I guess you can just listen in on my […]

Too Much, Too Little… and the Glory of God in the Both’of’em.

It’s a time honored tradition. Every year I tell myself, “This is the year. The year of Christmas Simplification. We are stripping it down… Going back to basics… Cuttin out the hoopla, man.” Not that hoopla is all bad, of course. Why some of my best Christmases have involved plenty of it. But I’m talking […]

And now… a wise word from a Guest Misfit

“It’s not only permissible to be who you are, it is your sacred duty”. I wish I had come up with that little gem right there. But alas, it wasn’t me. It was, however, someone related to me. So I’ll take partial credit. I’m sure she won’t mind. That “she” to whom I refer is […]

PODCAST- Daniel Rice: Hashing out this whole HASTHTAG business… oh, and the #Gospel, too.

What’s trending on social media as we speak? Who exactly IS Generation Now? And, not that you aren’t completely hip and don’t already know, but… how would you explain this whole hashtag thing to someone who is not as completely hip as you, and doesn’t know? And… oh yeah, what does ANY of this have […]
