The Truth About Sinéad O’Connor

By Ordinary Servant | Published October 4, 2013

There is a feud in cyberspace between Sinéad O’Connor and Miley Cyrus. Miley revealed that her Wrecking Ball video (which I have not seen, nor care to), was inspired by Sinead’s iconic video of Nothing Compares 2 U. This comment prompted a response from Sinéad by way of an open letter to Miley, which I […]

Why Do You Write?

By Ordinary Servant | Published September 26, 2013

I enjoy reading interviews of writers and their creative process. In the past few days, I have been reading interviews of great authors, such as Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner and Gustave Flaubert. I noticed a common thread in these authors is narcissism. There seems to be a correlation between creative genius and […]

No Compromise

By Ordinary Servant | Published September 23, 2013

A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. Galatians 5:9 I keep hearing this verse in my head. When the Lord puts a scripture on my heart, I know there is a reason. What is the Lord is trying to tell me? Recently, I have been making bread from scratch. It’s been fun discovering the magic […]

Just Don’t Do Porn

By Ordinary Servant | Published September 20, 2013

This is what I wrote on my Facebook status yesterday after posting this article. When I posted it, I wasn’t intending to spark a debate. I was only trying to bring light to the spiritual climate.
