Okay so some of these aren’t quite thoughtful, but none of them are flat out stupid. And besides sometimes the worry and stress of life is reason enough to step back and enjoy something that doesn’t require much brain power but puts a smile on your face. Here’s my list of such movies. Enjoy! AndContinue reading “A List of Happy But Thoughtful Movies”

The Screwtape Letters: Notes 1
My British Lit class is finishing up the year with a reading of The Screwtape Letters. So far I’m enjoying it very much as it is not only witty but wise and convicting. Through Screwtape’s advice to Wormwood on how to keep Christians far from Christ, and non-believers from coming to Him, it is made abundantlyContinue reading “The Screwtape Letters: Notes 1”
On Rewatching The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
To this day, I’m not sure how many times second grade me watched and read The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I remember pretending I wasn’t interested in the book so my mom wouldn’t have the satisfaction of being right that this was indeed a good recommendation – the best book I’d read in allContinue reading “On Rewatching The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe”
Knowing
I have known loss And I have known gain. I know what it is To wail in the night And smile in the day. And I know who it is that remains unmoved in it all. Whose hand I clutch and kiss In both storm and sun. Whose eyes remain ever fixed When mine roveContinue reading “Knowing”

Libraries
They are tearing down the library to make a larger one, one more spick and span, with shiner selves I suppose. I rather liked the old metal book racks and sun-beaten, semi-Spanish architecture. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say; it’s nostalgia that mists my view. But the old is giving wayContinue reading “Libraries”
Enough
Though mountain peaks point me toward You, Though the sea sings You songs of praise, I will never comprehend You complete In this dying age – Here in this age where cathedrals burn And words like cancer sting our tongues And steal our breath; Here where all is veiled in mystery, Here where all isContinue reading “Enough”
Best of 2019
Hello friends! I realize its been a while since I’ve put anything up and that I’m a little late to the game in recapping my favorite things from 2019. But, that being said, January isn’t quite over yet and I’d still like to talk about the books and movies that caught my attention last year.Continue reading “Best of 2019”
November Journal
11/7/19 – 11/12/19 I learned that our friends’ daughter is very near to the end of her life tonight. Tonight – the same night a good friend told me with glowing joy that the boy she’s waited years for kissed her. Tonight, the same night another friend turns eighteen. And I sit here wondering whichContinue reading “November Journal”
