It just feels good.  Check it out and laugh hardily!

Anxious Anxiety

I have had an extremely anxiety filled week.  I met my potentially future supervisor for my counseling internship (it was kind of like an interview), saw my first client (I’m pretty sure she wanted to hug me), set up my first couples therapy session, had a wretched group therapy session via my group dynamics class, [...]

Ahem.

Okay, I’m back for now.  Summer has arrived, so I feel like I have some down time.  I’ve got two classes for the summer.  One’s over and done with and the other just started–Group Dynamics.  My counseling internship is just underway. I’m slightly intimidated, but at the same time not.  After just one short year [...]

I’m shutting down for awhile

Due to feeling pressure to update, and not wanting to, I’m shutting the blog down for awhile.  If you keep the blog on some sort of feed you’ll notice if I start up again.  But, don’t hold your breath.

Why New Testament History & Theology is Important

Today in class I learned one of those little jewels of information.
Jesus was born in 6 B.C.  
How could he do that, I wondered?  My friend Hayden said it’s because he is God.  
My professor said that the theologians did the math wrong.  King Herod at the time only ruled until 4 B.C., so if Jesus was [...]

Last Chance Harvey

I saw this movie with Karen yesterday, and it was wonderful.  It showed a desire for companionship and relationship.  It portrays the risk and fear that is involved with starting a new relationship or with trying to reconcile a past one.  There’s wit, charm, and redemption, all things I like in a good movie.
My favorite line is [...]

Feliz Navidad

We got a little festive in the apartment yesterday.  

Two J’s in a pod

This last weekend Karen and I managed to do not one, but two spontaneous activities, both involving food.  First, on Saturday we went to Chick-fil-A.  Then, on Sunday night, after bringing the partridge (grilled steak, mashed potatoes, cooked carrots with brown sugar and butter, and a bottle of $6 wine)  we went to The Cheese Cake [...]

Today in history

I’m a big fan of knowing what happened long ago on today’s date.  Here’s what happened today.
 
On Nov. 13, 1956, the Supreme Court struck down laws calling for racial segregation on public buses. 
On Nov. 13, 1850, Robert Louis Stevenson, the Scottish author best known for his novel “Treasure Island”, was born. Following his death on Dec. 3,1894, his obituary appeared in The Times.

A plug for The Secret Life of Bees

On Sunday night, Suzy, Nathaniel and I went and saw the movie The Secret Life of Bees.  This was a most anticipated movie for me after getting completely sucked into the book, written by Sue Monk Kidd.  This movie is about relationship, healing, and redemption.  It’s a crier, people.  Don’t get thrown off by the [...]
