Lent 2021, Day 30: This is a really bad sermon, too.
I've got another entry for the "Bad Sermons" tag...
East of Eden
Blog
Lent 2021, Day 29: This isn’t the Good News.
Come along, Friends, as we take a trip back to 2005, to a time when "The Office" was brand new, cell phones weren't smart, and I heard the worst sermon…
Lent 2021, Day 26: Overdue, but appreciated.
Eisenhower was in office when this book was borrowed.
Lent 2021, Day 25: Bad Religion.
Another homegrown terrorist.
Lent 2021, Day 24: Repentance AND Reparations AND Reconciliation.
Putting in that work.
Lent 2021, Day 23: About *that* Kirk Franklin recording…
Let he who has not used a four letter word... still not cast a stone. Like, not even a pebble.
Lent 2021, Day 20: In the midst of things.
It's been a really, really, really, long year. Really.
Lent 2021, Day 19: This is what religion without religion looks like.
“Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.” ― Blaise Pascal
Lent 2021, Day 18: Very, very, very wrong.
And just like that, it's later-latter rain, and a brand new Upper Room, complete with monthly Zoom calls.
Lent 2021, Day 17: All that glitters.
A gilded cage, wrapped in pearls, diamonds, and gold, watched by billions, and lit by paparazzi lightbulbs is still a cage.

@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.
