Lent 2026: Ash Wednesday.
Whoa. I didn’t blog at all during Lent last year. I felt like the whole of last year was Lent. Still no Easter, though. […]

Happy Sunday! It’s raining here today, so it started getting dark before 4. I hate it. Not the rain, but the short daylight hours. […]
Not Like Us?
"Once upon a time, all of us was in chains"
The Preachers: The Prophet Matthias.
His kingdom came. And went.
Of Segregation and swimming pools.
Just follow me down to the Jordan's stream/ God's a-going to trouble the water
For Forty Years, This Was a Thing.
Probably better than this year's break dancing competition. Not as funny, though.
On your 40th.
"the diamond glints on snow, the sun on ripened grain, the gentle autumn rain"
Straight from the crApp Store!
Some more on En----tification, which may just be may new favorite word.

"I am the paint, and I'm the brush, and I'm the canvas I am a saint, but if you touch, I am a savage"
To my Z, on graduating 8th grade.
Keep God first, and remember, there's always money in the banana stand.

@myeastofedenTo borrow a line from Drake: I’m more than just a number. But if I had to pick one, I’d be a 7 — not perfect, just honest about it.
I’m Alisha: 30, a Christ-follower, married to my husband Keiron, and mom to our daughter Zoe. East of Eden is where I write weekly about faith, culture, and relationships — a curious mix of the relevant and reverential, covering everything from religion and politics to pop culture to the quieter, more personal stuff.
I’m slightly off-kilter (but aren’t all “ar-teeests”?) and not your average girl. Hope you enjoy the rantings — don’t take the sarcasm too seriously, and know that comments are always welcome. Very welcome… ahem, HINT, HINT, HINT.

“A curious mix of the sacred and profane… too nice for a run of the mill blog?”
“Are you really bored, or something?”
