The Bible on My List

I have to confess: I have been experiencing Bible envy for well over a year now. My dear friend and roommate Sarah, who reads the New American Standard version, has a beautiful compact black leather Bible. I would give you the link, but I can’t find it right now. It’s a little larger than most [...]

12 TV Characters I Love

Yes, you read that right. I’m actually posting about television. This is definitely a first. But it’s Christmas break, and I have been recovering from surgery for the past few days, so I’ve had a little extra time on my hands. And now it’s after midnight and I’m bored, and I keep sleeping in so [...]

This video was posted at Ragamuffin Soul today. It is soooo funny.

Confession #93

This may sound strange. But hear me out. I know being single at Christmas can be kind of a bummer. With all the nostalgia and sparkle in the air, it just seems like it would be so nice to have that special someone to share it with, doesn’t it? Plus, each time another Christmas rolls [...]

upheld.

I’m doing well. Thank you for the comments, stories, and prayers! Yesterday was kind of a hard day. The medicine I was taking was really hard on my stomach, especially since I hadn’t eaten anything forever (per the doctor’s orders, and it wasn’t really forever). Anyway… I’m feeling a lot better today, and my purpose [...]

My First Surgery

I am getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning, and I am not excited about it. I always get strangely nervous about these sorts of things. But I’m sure it will be fine; they’re not impacted or anything. And I’ll be glad to have it over with!
If you have any wisdom teeth stories you’d like [...]

God Is Not Dead

“I don’t really want an answer; I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So goodnight, dear void.”
If you think about it, that quote from the movie You’ve Got Mail says a lot about the age we live in. One of the most noticeable characteristics of postmodernity is the relinquishment of [...]

Young Women to Watch: Taylor Moore

Taylor Moore is seventeen years old. I first encountered her in Girls Gone Mild, and since then have found a whole section of blog entries written by her on Modestly Yours. She has been raised in a single-parent home on the south side of Chicago, attended public schools, and has been a speaker on non-violence [...]

In My Dark Your Lights Go On

So I almost made it… but I have two days to go, and plenty of time to get everything done, so I am returning a bit early. I really and truly missed writing during the break, but I also found that I was less addicted to it than I would have thought, which is a [...]

Colorado Shootings

I’m interrupting my blogging break to urge you to pray for those affected by the Colorado shootings, both of which have taken place earlier today. The first was in Arvada, Colorado, at the Youth with a Mission headquarters. My best friend and roommate Cheyenne used to live in Arvada, and I know a few people [...]
