People come over. Photography ensues.


Hammocks

01May09

They are the coolest thing ever. Except when you want to sleep. After I recieved one of the greatest gifts ever given to me, it was decided that the group would string them up for a night and sleep outside.
Here we are at the campfire; you can see the hammocks strung in the background.

We ended [...]


Lasts

30Apr09

I accidentally invited myself to a commissioning service. How embarrassing.
After church last night, I headed back to the office to get in one more hour of work before my “find a job” vacation started. Upon being done at 10pm, I walked to my car only to see my friends walking down the road past the [...]


I went to Nigeria last November with a discipleship program that I’m somewhat connected to called LIFT. The story of how that came to be and what I learned through it can be found here, here, here, here, here and here. A guest post from one of the LIFT directors is here.
LIFT runs on a [...]


In my obvious neglect of the series I started way back when, I promise I was busy. Last weekend, after a long week, I was given three days off of work; like a kid in a candy shop with her 3-minute-old allowance, I set in my mind to travel. My goal? Rest.
Will I ever learn [...]


Nerd Cool

24Jan09

I recently had a conversation with a friend about the term “cool.” She proceeded by telling me a theory she developed in high school that has continued to stand the test of time.
People fit into two categories: Nerd Cool and Jerk Cool. She said that on some level, people fit into either category. The jerk-cool [...]


This was my first Christmas away from home and while I missed my family dearly, my day was not lacking in joy and excitement. I had the privilege of spending the day with my mentor and her family (her dad also happens to be my rockin-awesome pastor). On top of excited children, there was snow, [...]


Did your mother ever say to you, “if you don’t stop playing with your toy like that, it will break and you won’t have a toy anymore?” My mom said that to us all the time; followed up with “and I won’t be buying you a new one.”
Well, the grown-up version of that warning came [...]


Chicago!

22Apr08

I was in Chicago last weekend for what I was describing to people as a little R&R. But, it was more like a little walk&walk. I had a fantastically awesome time in Chi-town, but I’m very tired. There are many, many stories that I’ll share with you soon, but for now I just have photos.
These [...]


Theme Song

14Apr08

Ok, I have a friend who likes putting new words to old tunes and often writes songs about people he knows. Not wanting to be left out, I asked/persuaded him to write one for me. It’s set to the tune of Don’t Cry For Me Argentina, and I’ve put a video of the song below [...]
