People (and episodes) stack so well.

    Joe has a way of harassing me into watching shows I wouldn’t normally view. Sometimes because I’m too busy. Other times, I […]

Who do you say I am?

      “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.” Mark 8:29   […]

NKOTB, BSB, NSYNC…ROTFL!

To 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?”
— Joe, my brother
“Are you really bored, or something?”

Get East of Eden by email.

One note a week — faith, culture, and the questions in between. No spam, ever.
