America the Beautiful

By now you may have seen the preview for the documentary film America the Beautiful set for release this Friday in Chicago, followed by 30 other cities across the country. If you haven’t seen it, be sure to watch it here:

As you read this, I am preparing to go to Chicago for the premiere Tuesday night and have an opportunity to meet the filmmaker Darryl Roberts. I embark on this trip with great anticipation for several reasons.

First, film is one of my passions and the idea of jetting off to Chicago for a film premiere just seems too good to be true. Now I know there won’t be a red-carpet lined with paparazzi snapping my picture, but I can’t help but wonder who I might meet there, after all, Paris Hilton seems to make an appearance in the film.

Getting Gussied up for the Nursing Home

Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - Comments 0

This past Saturday my community group did a service project as part of a church-wide effort to impact our local area. Every group did something different; my group’s task was to sing for residents at a nursing home.

Wow, we’re so glad you’re here at our site, reading this message! This has been a true labor of love (no pun intended), and we’re excited to finally have things up and running.

I am one-half of the team that you’ll hear from most often. My cohort is Travis Stewart. He’s a counselor, a dad, and a pretty good guy. I’m sure you’ll hear more from him soon. Plus, we’ll have guest bloggers from time to time – people who are on a journey toward replacing lies with truth in their own lives. Until then, here’s a little of my story…

When I was twenty-seven, I walked into my primary care physician’s office and made a confession. “My dad thinks I have an eating disorder,” I said, a little tentatively. I felt kind of silly being there. For one thing, I was a successful woman with an exciting job in the music business, a great husband, and what I considered to be the ‘perfect sized’ body.
