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…

New Year, New Me?
Happy New Year!And also, Merry Christmas…And also… Happy MLK Day…And also… Yeah… sorry about that. Definitely meant to blog a whole lot more over the last month. See, what had happened was… I didn’t actually get less busy like what usually happens in the month of January. But I do have a good reason for…

Surprise Friendships
“Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful friend who can find?” Proverbs 20:6, ESV (emphasis and word change are mine) I haven’t talked about it in a while, so I’ll reset my life story briefly: my dad was in the Army from 8 months before I was born until well after…

Keep An Eye Out
This one’s for you, Bekki. 😉 As I was trying to go to sleep tonight, I turned on my go-to “sleeping music,” K-Love 90s. A song came on that was big around the time we lived in Washington State, and it caused me to go through the whole timeline of what happened in the world…

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…

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…

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,…

Endings Bring New Beginnings
This weekend I am on the last Christmas/New Year’s, help-people-with-their-dogs adventure for at least two weeks. I promise I really did quit dog-sitting as a business. Last year Erica would wonder how much “quitting” was actually had… Speaking of Last Year Erica… I was thinking about a year ago today. I remember how tired and…
