“Two” is Worth It

December 2, 2017July 25, 2018 Emily P. Blackwell

“Most addicts here,” he says, “come with an empty glass inside them; when they take heroin, the glass becomes full, but only for a few hours, and then it drains down to nothing again. The purpose of this program is to gradually build a life for the addict so they can put something else into

Dry Bones Come Alive

December 1, 2017July 25, 2018 Emily P. Blackwell

The opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety. It’s connection. It’s all I can offer. It’s all that will help [you] in the end. If you are alone, you cannot escape addiction. If you are loved, you have a chance. For a hundred years we have been singing war songs about addicts. All along, we should have

Nothing Wasted, Nothing Perfect

October 9, 2017October 9, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

Over the last year, writing here has been more sporadic. I was working through some things, taking some time to write my words for no one but God and me to see. I was feeling a bit like my words had been stolen – like I was sucker punched and they were ripped right from

The Lovely Center: A Follow-up

August 22, 2017August 22, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

“Mommy, watch my cartwheel. Did you see that one? Was it good? Did I do good? Look, I’ll do another one. Did you see that one? Was that one better?” “Yes, sugar, they look great. They’re all great! You’re doing so good – getting better and better! Why don’t you go practice over there while

To the Lovely Center

August 21, 2017August 21, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

I’ve always been very aware that I am a lot. Just – a lot of person for people to handle. I remember feeling aware of this at a very young age when I reacted strongly to something – not even negatively – just strongly, and people would look at me like they had no idea

The Down and Dirty Truth about Marriage: The Call to Ministry

August 21, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

We sat across the glass top table in the dining room at my grandmother’s house, which we were renting at the time. Sweet Gra’ma let us paint the whole house whatever color we wanted. And rip up the carpet to paint the slab. I honestly credit a great deal of my decorating sense to the

The Down and Dirty Truth about Marriage: The Proposal and Wedding

August 21, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

One weekend on a trip home for my twenty first birthday, Josh took me out on a date to celebrate. He elaborately planned for us to relive our firsts: First date – dinner at Logan’s Steakhouse. I felt like this was a little lame for my twenty first birthday. Then he had procured our church

What Wonder Woman Taught Me about Marriage

July 10, 2017August 21, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

I’m going to take a brief pause from our story this week to tell you about how Wonder Woman made me cry.  Josh and I love super hero movies. We know, we know. The plot is predictable; the stories essentially repeat themselves over and over again; and the scripts are always borderline cheesy. But this is why

The Down and Dirty Truth about Marriage: Spain, Peru, and a Hot Springs Wedding Chapel

July 10, 2017July 10, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

Josh and I fell right back into our relationship, but in a new and better way – at first. I started sending him a “Question of the week.” There were things, I realized, that we still didn’t know about each other. Real and important things that we needed to learn and know. So, I started

The Down and Dirty Truth about Marriage: The Final Reunion

June 26, 2017July 11, 2017 Emily P. Blackwell

Three to six months passed. It’s all a little fuzzy because we fizzled more than we split. Josh dated around and scratched whatever wild itch HE had. I dated – I don’t really know if you can call it that. I spent time with other guys. One of them was smart, kind, and quietly funny
