About my blog and About me
This blog is my knee-jerk reaction to what is going on in my life. While I attempt to filter what is said, there are times that I am not successful, so enter at your own risk...and please don't take what you read personally. If you do, then you should probably not read this blog because it's never going to be full of happy walks through fields of daisies.
I grew up and currently live in the Delaware Valley. My heart is torn between Boston, London and Philadelphia, not necessarily in that order every day. I work in the dental field. While I am passionate about teeth, I am more passionate about God and what He's doing throughout the world. Teeth pay the bills, but my love for God wakes me up in the morning and puts me to sleep at night.
I write, tweet, facebook and check in on foursquare. I laugh, make people laugh and make people uncomfortable by saying what they, at times, refuse to face. I am passionate about helping people figure out who they are and find out what success is for them.
I could go on, but then why would you read my blog?

What do pastors do?
Today I was walking back from lunch with a friend, and she asked me a question that stunned me. “Deneen, what do pastors do?” Wow. How does one answer that question? Seriously. We were talking about school. I was really … Continue reading

I’m going to write something of substance today. But while you’re waiting for my time to catch up with my brain, read this post by Tony Morgan. It’s…yeah. Just go over and read it.
Whirlwind
I don’t know where to begin in trying to describe this weekend. Whirlwind. Busy. Exhausting. Exhilarating. I think my favorite part of my 9-5 is our Saturday training sessions with the dentists. I love being in a classroom environment. I … Continue reading
Stand, part 2
Yesterday I posed the question, for what do I (we) stand? Today, I have some answers. I stand for those things that the scriptures tell me I am supposed to stand. I stand, first of all, for the name, the … Continue reading
Renewing of the psyche
Today was an excellent day. I love watching God move…in the lives of my friends, family, acquaintances and people that I’ve just met. When good things happen, I know that God is blessing people. When bad things happen, I can … Continue reading
Transparent, real, raw
I wish I were the friend who could tell you what you want to hear. I wish I were the person who could tell you, and fully believe, that tomorrow, when you wake up, everything will be better. But God … Continue reading
Challenging day
Sometimes I wonder if God laughs with me or at me when I take a step back and look at my thought processes. Deneen, I want you to be a voice in the church. God, do you realize that I’m … Continue reading
