daily bread.

here’s what’s ridiculous: how long it’s been since i’ve written. let’s just ignore dates and move on:) i can’t promise i’ll become more diligent anytime soon.
seriously though, a dear friend of mine and i were talking a few days ago and she reminded me of something very precious and true. [first a little context] unfortunately [...]

love to love

every once in awhile i like to do a little love to love action on my blog. i love to love a good scarf. the marion walmart had these great scarves for 5 dollars! can’t beat that. they look fabulous, come in lots of colors, and keep me nice and warm on these cold fall/winter [...]

hope. change.

well, the election is over. a few months ago i was posting articles on ron paul, who did not make it as the republican candidate, obviously. within the past few weeks i have been presented with a new thought: not voting. it sounds silly now, but i literally never thought of intentionally not voting. (yes [...]

reflect.

i just went back and looked over some old posts. kind of interesting to see what i was writing not too long ago. it’s funny to see what i was anticipating is now what i am doing. my semester is halfway over! well, at the end of this week. we are hitting mid-terms and fall [...]

all you need…

i love my children’s lit. class.  my professor is hands-down my favorite prof. he started off our class without any introduction yesterday and then played this video. he then ended by saying there is truth, even in the Beatles, especially in the Beatles. needless to say…i was really happy. what a great way to start [...]

exposure.

this little one amazes me. i watched her in class today and she blew me away. just listen to the feeling behind her playing. no, i cannot do that. it is a very difficult song, but to be able to play, from memory, and with emotion is crazy. then to top [...]

be still.

a new semester. a new phase. new experiences. new challenges. new people. new places. new job. new professors. new challenges. new joys. new. new. new.
with all of these ‘new’ things i am finding it difficult to slow down and rest. in the midst of being busy i have learned more than books can teach me.  [...]

jermtech week!

dedicated to his job.

hello twenty.

this is a new era for me. i have left my teen years and i am wandering into my twenties. twenty holds a lot for me, i suppose every year holds a lot, but i am sitting here looking ahead. this year i am taking on the duties of all hall chaplain, which means i [...]

this one is for you…

recently i have been threatened by gretchen. she said if i did not write on my blog soon i would be taken off her blog roll. that’s pretty serious, yet understandable. so, in honor of gretchen’s blog i’m going to do a little love-to-love post.
i love to love…. crocs
i know it’s a little ridiculous. even [...]
