The past is a big part of who we are. It reminds us of the times we used to wait up for Santa, but never actually manage to stay awake that long, and it reminds us of the times when we wish we could hide from everyone. Some memories are easier to let go than others. Sometimes we have a tendency to live in the past, and sometimes we try to run from ( Read more... )

It's been a long summer, has it not? Every day dragged on and never ended, yet now that I look back on it, all the days seem to run together and I can't separate them into memories I can look back on. I'm not necessarily trying to cover the cliche part of summer where eighth-graders/rising ninth-graders always talk about how they all got boyfriends ( Read more... )

There are certain things we recall in our minds that stand out in our descriptions as favorites, such as the best ice cream you’ve ever had, or the most delicious cake. Tonight, I’m afraid I may have seen the most beautiful moon. I say afraid for two reasons, one being that if this is the most spectacular moon, I have a long life to live parading ( Read more... )

I should work for Star magazine. I was like the paparazzi on the roof of my hotel a little after 6 am, knowing he would show up just across the way. I had seen him yesterday and I couldn’t sleep being so close and not doing anything about it. So I waited all night. And just as I anticipated he appeared and I got the shot. I took three shots just to ( Read more... )

So Sunday, the Pipeline decided to go out on the beach for some beach volleyball and beach worship. But like an overbearing aunt, our friend The Rain decided to drop on by unexpectedly for an extended visit yet we did not give up on our quest for miles and miles of sand and ocean (among other things). Along with the rain, there was our friend The ( Read more... )

Someone said one word to me today and guess what: I remember what I was going to say. I guess I'll just make this entry chapter seven in my "book" and mix in a little of my previous entry and we'll call it fin. A lot of you know my brother, Josh. And a lot of you know I talk about him (positively) all the time. You also know that I am sort of " ( Read more... )

I'm sorry I haven't written on here in a while, and for those of you who are LJ addicts and are suffering from withdrawls, I'm super sorry. Wednesday at the Pipeline, Rachel spoke and gave her testimony. She was mainly hitting on her high school years and talking about an addiction that had taken over her thoughts, feelings, and life itself. She ( Read more... )

Not a day goes by I don't feel some kind of guilt for not letting you guy thoroughly know my trip over the summer. When I close my eyes for rest each night in my cocoon, all I read across my mind's ticker tape is red digital letters on a green background, much like posters I've read across the nation to Update Journal Please Update Journal Please ( Read more... )

I've always said that I have more friends in Nashville, TN than anywhere else in the galaxy. That makes Nashville a good city based on social interaction alone ( Read more... )

It is official. "A Walk to Remember" is by far my favorite movie of all time. I absolutely love it. I think it's because Jamie is a lot like me except for the fact that I don't have leukemia. I really hope that one day I will meet a guy like Landon. He respects Jamie and loves her more than anyone could ever know. You are probably wondering why I ( Read more... )
