Fairgrounds and Sparkles
Over fall break, I went to a country fair out in Anderson, SC while I was visiting some of my friends in Honea Path. It was an exciting night. It always brings back a lot of memories going back to those places… everything from the rides, the ferris wheel, the bumper cars, the corn dogs, […]

Scratch That
Scratch that last post I wrote. I was talking to my mom and dad on the phone last night… asking them what they thought about me going for one of the Break on Impact trips. My mom reminded me that I already have the commitment of going on Chorale tour over spring break. I kind […]

Peru or Washington?
I’ve been thinking a lot about the possibility of going to either Huanta, Peru or the Yakama Indian Reservation in Washington for a Break on Impact trip over spring break. It’s a tough decision. I was originally planning on going to Uganda for a three week missions trip after spring semester. Covenant is sending out […]

Warm Blankets and Books
I’m back on the mountain… and it looks just as beautiful as always - rain, strong winds, fog, and cold. What a perfectly beautiful combination. It contains all the elements that drive me to my warm hand-woven Bolivian blanket… and the numerous pages I have to read about theology, accounting, and Christology (note the optimism in […]

Not About Me
I am slowly but surely realizing that this time is not about me - my life is not about me. I had a good talk with an old friend from England tonight… she reminded me of a verse in John.
“He must become greater; I must become less.” - John 3:30
That has been the farthest thing […]

Venison
There is nothing like preparing some fresh venison with mesquite marinade and adding in a few chopped up onions and garlic cloves. Not to mention doing all of the above while smelling fresh pumpkin and chocolate-pecan pies coming out of the oven.
I love Thanksgiving…

Home Again
I’m home again in Franklin. We got home late yesterday evening. It’s been good to be home with my family… I went to bed around 9:30 last night - first time in a long time that it’s been that early. And yes, I definitely took a nap this afternoon.
I’m excited about Thanksgiving tomorrow. My brother […]

Ezekiel
What is the book of Ezekiel about? Anyone want to venture a guess? I read through the first six chapters, and I’m lost as to what the meaning is behind all of it. I realize I probably should continue reading through the end of the 48th chapter, and I plan on it… but it’s somewhat […]

Two Days
Two days until I’ll be hopping into Betsy’s little Honda Prelude and driving down the mountain to grab a bite to eat from Mojo Burrito’s, and then heading home to Franklin for Thanksgiving Break… two more days. I’m excited to go home.

Thanksgiving Break
Thanksgiving Break, here I come… I finished my statistics exam this morning - my last pre-Thanksgiving exam. It feels so good to know that it’s Friday afternoon and that I’ll be home in less than a week. I’m so excited to have a break from classes and having to follow a schedule and having to […]
