I have often asked myself, “If I believe that the Bible is entirely true (which I do), and thus I believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven (all others who don’t believe that Jesus is the son of God and give their lives over to him are going to hell), then why isn’t there a bigger sense of urgency to tell the people that I love about it?” Many ( Read more... )

I was just sleeping when the phone rang. It was my little brother! He never calls me. It turns out that he is registered at Harper for two classes this semester in addition to his full time job at Owl Lumber. I am so proud of him. Yay Ryan! Both he and my Mom are on the look out for cars, so if you know anyone selling theirs, let them know ( Read more... )

Hey everybody! I hope that life is treating you well and, if not, you are learning from it. I just wanted you to know that I will be coming homw for two weeks and I am trying to plan out when I will be able to see everybody. If you want to schedule a time to hang out with me, I have this Saturday through Tuesday open and the Tuesday and Wednesday ( Read more... )

Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone! Hopefully you celebrated well and found many things to be thankful for. I am thankful for good friends like you, my husband Alan and his safety, my family, and the good Lord's provision over all of my needs. I went over to my friend Kathryn's house the day before and we cooked most of the food then so the next ( Read more... )

So here I am, alone on a Friday night just wishing that I had somewhere to be. Ok, not just anywhere or with anyone, but a place where I can be accepted for who I am, with people that I care about (thats all of you), doing whatever we are motivated or unmotivated to do. I stayed up last night until 4:00 am, and do you know what I was doing? Writing ( Read more... )

I know I have not written in a while, so here goes. I am still living here in Virginia Beach. The weather has been hot but nice. The other day Alan and I went bike riding for 5.5 miles in a forest preserve by the beach. Then we went swimming and relaxed. The 2.75 mile ride back went much faster because I got over my moodyness ( Read more... )

So I just got off the phone with my Nana in Alabama, and I have some startling news. (You better hold on to something because this is big!) We were casually talking when she mentioned that 2 celebrities live in her neighborhood... She forgot one, but the other one she has met and spoken with quite frequently. Take a guess. Two words- Dirty Dancing ( Read more... )

Did anyone else catch that final episode of America's Top Model? I think that it was a tough call, but Niema really made that runway her domain. I didn't follow the show the whole way, but I must admit that it was interesting to watch a process that I would have otherwise been oblivious to ( Read more... )

My mom just left and I am sad again. Reality has hit that Alan is gone for the month and I have a lot of school things to take care of. Trying to arrange my schedule for next semester and the summer, I realize that my new school did not accept all of my transfer credits from ISU and I might have to stay an extra year. Every semester I have worked ( Read more... )
