Panera and Summer

I just got back from another day of work at Panera Bread. I’m tired… standing on your feet all day gets old after a while.
The business internship is off the list. I asked my brother about it, but I’m going to have to wait until summer after my junior year (or later) to do any [...]

Christmas and Summer Plans

Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive and well. This is the first real opportunity I have had to sit down and write anything since being home. Our computer is old and slow… it takes a while to do anything.
It’s been good to be home back in Franklin, TN. I’ve been working at Panera [...]

One Final Away

I’m one final away from being 3/8ths of the way through my college career. It’s such a beautiful thought, and I am so ready to be done. One more exam…

Conviction

God has a way of convicting me at the right time, in the right place, and with the most random things… I’m reading doctrine, and one of the ”effects of sin on our relationships with other humans” is our inability to empathize. I am far too often wrapped up in myself and my own selfishness…
“Do nothing out of [...]

Four Days To Go

Four days to go until I am done finals and am heading home. I’m studying in the library right now — working on getting my doctrine exam done later this afternoon. Twenty-one pages of typed up notes — 10 pt font. And probably about 30 odd verse passages to know/memorize. Breeze…
For those of you out there [...]

“Shallow and Profound”

I read this the other day… my favorite part is when Chambers says, “God became a baby.” Remember the small things in life, and remember who we do them for. Our Father who is God desires for us to worship and glorify Him in ALL things. Be encouraged, and I challenge you to go to the [...]

Done Classes

It’s Thursday night, and I am officially done classes for this semester. Three semesters down, five more to go… :) This weekend is going to be intense. I have a lot of reading and studying to do for finals next week. I have five in all. I’m just ready to be home right now… less [...]

Chorale Christmas Concert

Chorale is singing their final Christmas concert, along with the Covenant orchestra and Madrigal Singers, tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Covenant Chapel. I’m excited… my parents are coming up to see me and Bets sing (along with the rest of the chorale, obviously). I do believe this will be the first time I have ever [...]

Distant Heart

I read this verse this morning. I realized how so often I subconsciously believe that I can fool God by saying the “right things” with my lips and mouth. As long as I’m outwardly doing the right things, I’ll be fine, right? God can’t see the inner workings of my heart or the thoughts that I would never dare to speak into being. Though [...]
