I Survived Survivor (Or, A Lesson In Friendship)
I know what you’re thinking. How could you possibly survive a game that you’ve never been on or even seen an episode of? Funny story… buckle up. It’s a lot of a long story… almost a decade and a half long… For the past 13 years (so basically my entire adult life), I’ve been following…

A Sabbath Trip
Today is day 3 of a 5-day trip I felt the Lord lead me to plan for my two best friends and me. I think I had originally called it our “besties trip”, and it is… but I’m realizing it’s more than that. It’s a Sabbath trip. Aside from the initial planning on all our…

Good Things Come To The Persistent
This is a longer story post. Get ready for a ride. 😉 I love Planet Comicon. Anybody who’s spent more than 5 minutes with me will automatically know that. Even if there’s not one celebrity there that I want to meet, I still go, just to be a part of it all. This year however,…

Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

The Trouble With Journaling
A lot of things have happened over the last week to cause me to feel like “now is a good time to write.” And then I came home from my Chicago trip and it felt like the world was falling down around me. I’d like to say I’m okay with a certain amount of stress,…

On The Road Again…
Last night, my best friend Rachel and I drove just over 3 hours to Hutchinson, Kansas, for Smallville Con to sell her books. After one day of sales, connections, and generally goofing off, I have determined that the best part about any type of pop culture convention is the people. Have also decided I really…
