Clusterfuzzle - Susan Isaacs on SBE

Erik Guzman January 15th, 2010

Anne Lamott says that laughter is the carbonated form of holiness. If that's true, Susan Isaacs is an effervescent, snarky, super-saint.

Join Susan on this week's Steve Brown Etc. as we discuss the tragedy in Haiti, Pat Robertson, and we finally get the answer to the question, "If there's a good God, why does he allow so much pain and suffering?" How's that for comedy?!! Waka waka.

We also talk about Susan's current projects and, in her words, "the c … (Read More)

Rejected by eHarmony!

Susan Isaacs November 11th, 2009

How do you get rejected by eharmony? Start by telling the truth.

Two and a half years ago, I decided I needed to get over my ex. It had been five months since we broke up, and he managed to meet someone the following week. So I did something I swore I would never do. I tried internet dating.

Five years ago, internet dating felt like a realm reserved for the desperate. Mail-order brides, ex-nuns with facial hair, obese IT nerds who live alternate lives online as robo-cut Japanese animé heroe … (Read More)

Sharon July 25th, 2008

If you're just joining me and my story, here are chapters one, two, three, four and five of A Doxology in Darkness.

After this startling awakening, I began to recall various singles groups I had attended in my life. A couple had been great: healthy people, truly there with no agenda but to meet with others in their same social bracket, which was single. These people were not there to find their mate necessarily, but really just to make friends and interact. For these people, if it just … (Read More)

A Doxology in Darkness - Chapter 5 - Needing

Sharon July 16th, 2008

The next catastrophic blow to my belief system arrived on January 19th.

Oddly, for such a life-altering epiphany, it padded in on unspeakably soft feet. In fact, had the Holy Spirit not taken it upon Himself to underline it quietly, I may very well have overlooked it entirely.

Once again missing Tom terribly, searching frantically for an escape from the pain, I cried out to Him, asking if there was any way Tom and I would ever be reunited.

“Lord, is it ever fixable?”

Once again, in His qu … (Read More)

A Doxology in Darkness - Chapter 4 - Unearthing

Sharon July 10th, 2008

I started seeing Ruth as soon as our busy schedules would allow. I truly had no idea what to expect from our time together, but I didn’t really care that much. I just needed to feel some relief, no matter what shape that relief may take.

I could never have predicted the life-changing healing I would come to experience.

Funny how we often look back on dramatic periods of time, and cannot for the life of us imagine what we were feeling just moments before the big event. It is as though the hug … (Read More)
