Period of Discouragement
It’s all too easy to put on a face and pretend everything is all right. I do it. I do it a lot, actually… somehow it’s just easier for me to internalize things and give off the impression that life is golden. But life rarely is… life is full of hardships, discouragements, let-downs, struggles, disappointments, [...]

Another Week
It’s the start of yet another busy week of classes and tests - three tests this week… Intro to Art tomorrow, Doctine and Microeconomics on Friday. Just thought I’d let you know. Prayer is always appreciated. :)
I’ve been reading through the book of Romans and Psalms with a friend during breakfast on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. One [...]

Elsbeth Codington
A fair amount of people periodically ask me how my mom is doing. I thought I would take a few minutes to give a little update on her condition, as well as thank all of you who so faithfully pray for her and my family.
My mom is doing well. For those of you who don’t know [...]

Starbucks
Today was one of those days where I just wanted to jump into a car, roll the windows down, turn the music up, and get off of campus and away from this little thing I call college… so I did.
I went to Starbucks and got a carmel frappuchino. It was pretty good, I’m not going [...]

Ask for Prayer
I guess you might call this my “plead for prayer.” It’s a rainy, cold, and foggy day on Lookout - one of those traditional mountain days. It’s weather like this that makes me think and ponder a lot.
I’ve been thinking a lot specifically about the future. I’ve been asking a lot of the “where am [...]

Liberian Bible Project
Several Covenant students and faculty are taking part in the Liberian Bible Project… a project that desires to send study Bibles to the recently war-torn country of Liberia to re-establish Bible training. Here is what they have to say:
We’re trying to send about 200 study Bibles, hopefully Reformation Study Bibles, to Liberia, West Africa. Liberia [...]

Self-Control
I don’t have a lot of self-control. Too often I allow the little things in life to make me mad and upset. The other week someone came into my room on a Monday or Wednesday, I think it was — either way, it was one of my busy afternoons with class solidly from 1-5 p.m. [...]

Wrestling Cattle
I never quite imagined that I would find myself spending fall break in a small town of 2500 people called Honea Path, SC… wrestling four calves that are 2-3 months old and 150 lbs each. Today was definitely a first for me as far as a lot of experiences go. Where do I start?
Mr. May, [...]

Church of 29 and Squirrel Hunting
Sunday, we went to their church in downtown Honea Path - Covenant Presbyterian Church. Excluding me, I counted 28 other people in the congregation. It was yet another new experience… far from the 4500 people I grew up with at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church in Knoxville or the 2000 people at Christ Church Fulwood in Sheffield, [...]

Boston Butts and Song-Writers
I arrived in Honea Path this afternoon…
I spent the evening eating a shrimp dinner at church with Mr. May… followed by an evening at Sam Anderson’s house out in the woods of Honea Path. Mr. May and I stopped by the Black Cow Coffeehouse to pick up some fresh coffee and then drove over to [...]
