Courage This Day

Not long ago, in a fit of nostalgic insomnia, I was searching through some books tucked away in my childhood bedroom, and I found this poem, which was written by a woman named Edith Kent Battle. It resonated so clearly with me and my daily thoughts and prayers, so I thought I would share. ThisContinue reading “Courage This Day”

Real Life: Unprepared

Recently, I have come face to face with a few things I am not prepared to deal with; situations that have left me agog and without any sort of real response. Completely nonplussed. 1.) My Roommate, asking for advice on how to deal with getting arrested. source What was she arrested for, might you ask? Oh,Continue reading “Real Life: Unprepared”

via You may have heard the old adage “Too many cooks spoil the batter“? (Batter, broth. . . you get the picture.) Well, I have just come to the distasteful (literally) realization that too many batters can also ruin a good cooking venture.

So you end up soundingContinue reading “Reflections on being “home”…”

Blast from The Past: My Roman Holiday

I wrote this in the early Spring of 2007, after travelling to Rome for the first time.  Today marked the end of my four-ish days in the Eternal City . I am exhausted, but I saw it all. Or at least, it feels like I did. It was a whilwind trip. Four days is a remarkablyContinue reading “Blast from The Past: My Roman Holiday”

The Little Things…

I love music, as you may already know. Today, I received a digital copy of a song that I recorded as part of our music group this year. After giving it a listen, I was struck by one significant thought: I am unbelievably thankful for the opportunity to make music as part of my job.  In honor ofContinue reading “The Little Things…”
