Outside my window... snow.. a winter sky... and a wee bit of steam coming off of Fall River
I am thinking... about change... in life, in people, and how hard it is to embrace it sometimes. How comforting to know that God is faithful! "Emotions vary. Truth cannot" Jesus is the way the TRUTH and the life.

I am thankful... above all for my Jesus who came to earth to die for me while I was still IN SIN and for God's abundant mercy! And for the little things: like coffee to help you stay awake when you've had one hour of sleep all night...

From the learning room... Plato said that the person of God and the soul of man are the same and that the eternal invisible world is far superior to the material.

From the kitchen... Dale's Family Restaurant for breakfast (typical diner coffee, french toast, bacon, and sprinkled generously with small town flavor), for lunch -oh wait.... i haven't had that yet (she says at 3:09 on the dot) :)

I am hoping... to sleep all night long. this would be a Nice Thing.

I am creating... a church history timeline (hence the Plato comment)

I am hearing... the Olympics (yes, hearing, you don't always have to watch, you know), the medics yackety yacking it up, and the clickety clack of my keys as i type

I am praying... for my unsaved friends, and for wisdom... always...

Around the dorm... books, sleeping, coffee, good friends and lots of laughing

A few plans for the rest of the week... say goodbye to friends, dive into an exciting week of Bible Conference, and attempt to successfully sing in a quartet

Pictures I am sharing: one from Christmas in the Trailer. These girls are a blessing, these girls I love. We are family! :)

nothing new [under the sun]

I feel like I am in a transition place. waiting. planning. carrying on with "normal" life. anticipating the changes that the future holds. just trying to get laundry done and keep the dishes washed and the bags out of the way of foot traffic. I feel like I have been blessed with so much.   a great support network of friends. awesome church family. job = perfect for me. so many opportunities to satisfy my wanderlust this year. the black hills in my back yard. family who love Christ and love me.  that's why I was a little surprised to find myself searching. to find myself dissatisfied . i wanted more  places to go. more people to spend time with. longer nights. everyone's schedule planned around me. better experiences. more adrenaline thrills. time off work. the responsibilities to take care of themselves. why is it not enough?  because i found myself seeking for attention  or acceptance  or satisfaction anywhere other than fro...

Hello (a long, rambling introduction).

If you have been reading this blog for longer than two seconds, you most likely have been with me for some pretty painful blogging years (let's be real: they probably aren't over). Those early days -yikes. I have long held to the personal principal that I started this blog for fun, and that's how I want to keep it -however weird it may get at times. I don't want to feel like I have to produce content to keep up the page views or to sell a product or to get some Pinterest pins.  I think (ok KNOW) part of that is due to pride. In other words, if I am not feeling like I have anything to publish here that will be The Best, and get a lot of shares or comments or ... whatever... then I don't want to do it. A lot of what Amelia wrote recently resonated with me in that regard. I read a lot of blogs. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances who blog. I am guilty of condescendingly rolling my internal eye-balls at people I feel like are just blogging to get the page c...
