The Practice of Slowing
One of the things the Lord has been teaching me this year is the importance of Sabbath in my life. My Sabbaths usually consist of turning off my phone, putting it in the downstairs bedroom Friday night after church, making banana bread every other week (when I have the ripe bananas from a client-friend), going…

What AI Taught Me About Myself
On Thanksgiving, there was an ad during one of the football games about ChatGPT. On a whim, I decided to download it and see how it perceived my current writing project. It was a WILD experience seeing my characters shown back to me in a way that was like taking a personality test for them.…

My First Virtual Reality Experience
Well, here’s a fun post for you! Every time I close my eyes, I see my Virtual Reality experience today, so you now get to go through it without all the Inception-like feelings of confusion with me. Also, if you ever plan to go on this fun excursion, there will be spoilers and more details…

“For Purple Mountains Majesty…”
Last weekend, I had the honor of going to my favorite area of Colorado for the 5th time. This was my third time going for a women’s conference, and it seems as though every time I go for a conference, I fall more in love with the area. Obviously, I love visiting, but something about…

Being Apathetic Is A Pathetic Way To Be
In the rarest bout of honesty I can muster on this blog (and I do a lot of it anyway), I have to admit… lately I have felt as though I have been struggling to have emotions. Or at least, good emotions. And by “good”, I mean, “not snippy, snarky, or otherwise biting or sarcastic.”…

You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello
Last week, my bestest friend Esther and I went on a road trip with her brother to move her back to her childhood home for a little while. The Lord called her back there and while I’m excited for her new adventures, I’m sad she is so far away. When I went back to work…

Blimey Camp 2024, Pt. 3
Sunday morning, I woke up at 6:52am because all but two other women in the cabin were awake and trying to silently pack. I rapidly ruined that silence by accidentally knocking my plastic travel coffee mug onto the floor. “Well, I guess we’re all awake now,” I muttered loudly. No one responded, but I did…

Blimey Camp 2024, Pt. 2
This is part 2 of 3 about my Blimey Camp experience last weekend. This is going to be the longest blog since this was the only full day of Blimey Camp. Yesterday, we left off with a question: did the Lord wake me up in the morning? What time? The answers to those questions are:…

Blimey Camp 2024, Pt. 1
This post will be 1 of 3, for each day of Blimey Camp. These may just be story posts, or they may have a lesson… I may do one that is an overall lesson after these 3… we shall see… This past weekend, I went to Tennessee to meet up with a bunch of other…

Finishing Well
Today I did something I really never thought I’d do: I “retired” from running. What does that mean? Well, it really means that, for the foreseeable future, I will no longer be enrolling in races like this. The above certificate is from the Plaza 10K event in Kansas City, Missouri. This was my second time…
