What a crazy few months this New Year has brought. On a global scale we have dealt, well – are dealing with – the coronavirus. As followers of Jesus, who have been cured from the ultimate disease – sin – and trust in the sovereignty of God and in his promise of eternal life, weContinue reading “January/February/March (Thus Far) In Review”

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”
October in Review
October – ah! What a month! I complain about busyness often, but this month really was the busiest I’ve had in perhaps ever. The beginning of October consisted of quite a bit of babysitting and a number of morning shifts at the coffee shop I work at. (Morning shifts meaning I woke up at 4:30Continue reading “October in Review”
September in Review
I feel a little funny writing this about a week into October, but oh well, I haven’t had time to write this long a post in the last week or so, thanks to school, work, and my own laziness (if we’re being honest), among other things. Anyway, here I am now, recapping the first monthContinue reading “September in Review”
Summer Watches
This summer consisted of many many movies and I’m proud to say that I checked off six films from my to-be-watched-list. So, without further ado, here are the movies of the summer. Inception – I reviewed this one earlier, you can find that here. The Outsiders – You know, I enjoyed the book, but my sister lovesContinue reading “Summer Watches”

One such scene happens to be in my favorite movie, The Last of the Mohicans, a story about a dying era andContinue reading “Mohicans and Metaphor”
Movie Review: Inception
Inception is one of those movies that’s either met with a groan or a grin – or both. The groan because – wow – multi layered dreams are confusing, or a grin because – wow – multi layered dreams are confusing. Yes, I know I gave the same reason for both. Really, the grin orContinue reading “Movie Review: Inception”
June in Review
Summer always comes with relief, but this June seems much more relaxing than any other has been. I’ve done lots of reading (surprise, surprise), crossed a couple movie off my never ending to-be-watched list, caught up on Gilmore Girls, done some writing, and laid around doing absolutely nothing. People talk about being bored in theContinue reading “June in Review”
Writing, Release, and Summer
Summer in all its chlorine scented, air conditioned, peach hued, iced coffee glory is finally here. Finally. I almost don’t believe it. This was my first afternoon without obligations and I kept thinking to myself, ‘don’t I have algebra homework?’ The next three months will pass quickly, they always do, but I welcome their release.Continue reading “Writing, Release, and Summer”
