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.…

Quirks: Everybody’s Got Them
This weekend I am helping with my church’s school play. I’ve helped with them in the past, but this year I am more emotionally involved and therefore need an outlet. (Good thing I already have this blog 😉 ) I was thinking about the play tonight while trying to wind down and instead my brain…

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. 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:…

One Generation To The Next
This post will probably be shorter, since I’m on my phone and don’t have my keyboard and tend to say slightly less when that happens. But this was something I started to write for somewhere else and decided it would be better suited here. My grandma passed away earlier tonight. The above picture was in…
