  • August 2024

    A whole lot of nothing… not really, but that’s what life feels like these days. I’ve sat down and wrote a few times, but nothing that has felt shareable. Nothing bad is going on, just hasn’t felt like anything newsworthy. I think that’s in part due to not writing. So……

  • Mid-March 2024

    I’ve been home from Africa 3 months already! Sometimes it feels like yesterday, but other days it seems like a lifetime ago. I don’t know how to feel about that, a little confused, I guess. Things were just so out of the normal before, during, and right after, that looking…

  • Early April 2023

    Life and death. Endings and new beginnings. These are the things on my mind recently. My dad, work, classmates, friends, and so much more. March 27th was my dad’s birthday and he would have been 70 years old. A lady who knew him when he worked reached out because she…

  • Late January 2023

    In 25.5 hours, I turn 44 years old. I don’t really feel any sort of way about it, just another number. I mean, there are things I thought I would have experienced by now, but anytime I’ve ever tried to push those things and not wait on God’s timing, it’s…

    Over 300 posts since Sept 2009, wow! I was scrolling through to see when I started and glanced at some of the topics, which I used to do instead of the date. I’ve covered A LOT of topics! Weight loss, health, depression, mission trips, Scripture, music, books, school, family, relationships……

  • End of April 2022

    It wasn’t planned or intentional, but apparently I needed a break. I don’t know if this is just a drop by or if I’m back to writing, but time will tell. ‘They’ say this comes with getting older, but the concept of time has changed so much in the past…

  • Mid-January 2022

    How is it the middle of January already?!? It is 8:30pm, I’m drinking coffee and baking. Does tell you my state of mind? It’s more like the state of my body, I guess. I’m grateful for the job I currently have on days like this! I don’t clock in and…
