    • Road Trip Time

      Somehow by the grace of God, I remembered that I needed to do a post for this week. Above are some of the pictures from this weekend. We still have one more day of the convention and then a travel day, but I doubt many of those events will have pictures. This week was the…

    • Four Weeks Down, Eternity To Go

      This week, I’m going out of town with a few friends, so I’m technically in the middle of trying to get my room ready… I’m already packed… that’s like packing for pet-sitting and I can do that literally in my sleep. It’s been almost exactly a month since I deleted the socials from my life.…

    • Rekindled Passion

      The past couple of nights I’ve been using my “evening energy peak” to work on fixing an old story that’s something I probably should’ve written long ago and I realized I’ve really enjoyed using my evening peak for that. So I’ve basically found a hobby that’s not watching TV or wishing I still had social…

    • Three Weeks?!

      Two things occurred to me about 20 minutes ago:– I forgot to post a blog yesterday– It’s been 3 weeks since I deleted social media I legitimately forget everyone else can see what other people are doing with their lives until something comes up in conversation. For example, someone made a reference to my hair…

    • New Habits?

      I’ve been watching these dogs— Ellie and Mabel— since Monday afternoon and I changed my bedtime habits for them since they’re what I affectionately call “old people dogs.” Although one of the dogs is about 12, the other one is less than a year old. However, their people are at the age where going to…

    • A New Beginning

      Today is my “check-in” day, where I tell you all about how I’m doing. After Wednesday night’s post, here’s what I learned about myself: I grieve differently over the loss of social media than I do over the loss of my father. I’ve heard it said that every loss is different, but even before I…

    • There Will Be Ramblings

      I had no intention of writing tonight. I also had no intention of going to my church’s young adult gathering either. This is what happens when you allow yourself to be led by the Spirit. For the learned folks, you’ll recall that when Jesus was “led by the Spirit” into the wilderness for 40 days,…

    • One Week Later…

      Today is the official end of the week and this is the official end of the week “review”, for the simplest of terms. This week was rough. There were highlights, there were lowlights. Every week has them, but this week was— at first glance— more low than high. However… I was thinking about my week…

    • Withdrawal Symptoms Are Real

      I’m writing this as I’m at church on lyrics and I just have to say, I am SO. TIRED. Physically tired. I haven’t been this tired at a church function since I first came to this church in 2014. The only thing missing in my life is something by way of social media, so I’m…

    • Emptier… but Fuller

      I deleted social media two whole days before I said I was going to. “Why wait anymore?” I asked myself. “It’s not as if there’s something to wait for.” Since then I’ve worked two much fuller days than I’d like, hung out with family (pictured above with one of my nephews and two of my…
