This afternoon I ventured out to an independent movie theatre to watch An Education. What I have to say about the movie is that it is fabulous. The theatre is situated right next to Sacs Fifth Avenue, and the parking lot is full of Lexus, Minis, BMWs, Cadillacs, and the like. I felt sheepish as I [...]

what makes a great morning?
This morning was amazing. I got up at 6:30 and had the quiet to myself. I brewed a french press of Birds & Bees shade grown organic coffee (I don’t like it because of the organic shade grown, in case Gina is reading this). I ate some Trader Joe’s cheerios. I read. And, what makes [...]

Good things
For my birthday 2 years ago, my friend Amy Hatcher gave me this Gerber Daisy plant. Several times a year it blooms for me and the flower lasts an impressively long time. This bloom opened up on Friday.

Things I don’t relate to
I am sitting in a class on Job this week. Yesterday we discussed Job’s anguish in losing his children, etc. One thing he asks,
“Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?” (10:10)

5 days ’til B-day
In just 5 short days the beer I brewed with my Dad will be ready. It really is the the gift that keeps on giving, at least 47 times. Cheers!

Lazy Saturday Afternoons
This last Saturday I roasted my first turkey, because I had the time! I seasoned it with lemon-pepper, salt, and butter. Out of the oven came 12 pounds of goodness. Snaps to Karen for helping me with planning and carving.

Home
I think it was sometime in September when one of my professors asked me where home was. He clarified by explaining that home doesn’t necessarily have to be where I grew up or where my parents live, but rather, he wanted to know the place that felt like home to me. In my head, that place was [...]

It’s not over ’til it’s over, and it’s over!
10 minutes ago I finished semester #1 of 4. It feels good! I will now watch brainless television until I have to start reading some books for my Job class.

What I learned in class today . . . Abraham was a pimp!
Dr. Michael Williams, my God and His Word professor, whom I deeply respect, said in class today, and I quote, “Abraham pimped out his wife twice.” After much snickering amongst my classmates and I, he said, “That’s the right word for it!”

First days
On Thursday I had my first day of classes at CTS. I so wished I had some brand new #2 pencils to sharpen for the occasion, but alas, I purchased mechanical pencils. I also bought highlighters and new ink gel pens. I had an uncontained giddiness and idealism that has yet to be jaded. I [...]
