*some thoughts atop an almost 9,000 ft peak* I am weary of ghost towns By Man’s fleeting cares worn down. I am weary of words that Tumble out and tumble out But have nothing to give. Take me North and far to live. Take me to the mountains - Where far are thoughts of... Continue Reading →
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 abundantly... Continue Reading →
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 all...

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 which... Continue Reading →
Notes From the Tilt-a-Whirl sort of fell into my lap after a friend recommended it to me and I clicked a few buttons on Amazon. (Thank you Justin and Amazon Prime *salutes*) I've got to say that I'm rather surprised that I hadn't heard of this before, considering it's exactly to my tastes but also challenged...

I've been working on my July in Review post the last few weeks (yes, weeks - I know, I'm pathetic) and I haven't been able to finish it. Everything about it is finished except for the last section. For the life of me I can't bring myself to summarize my two weeks away at camp.... Continue Reading →
