Quick update...
It isn't true, if that's what you're thinking! I haven't dropped off the planet! I'm immersed in life at College of the Ozarks in SW Missouri, so I don't find time to post here very often. My official blog is at http://rebeccablogs.blogspot.comRead more... ) -
reason or revelation?
In my lit class this semester, entitled "Classical Ideals of Character", we are examining the concepts of virtue and honor, and the definition of happiness, through the lens of Homer and Aristotle.

noteworthy
I was waiting on my sheets to dry and thought I'd post a long overdue update to my LJ.
The past few months have been a testing ground of my faith in areas that I will not delve into here. There is so much about faith and believing God that I don't understand. Why does it seem He leads us in a direction if it only leads to a dead end? That's the ( Read more... ) -
when did you fall?
(Maybe someone will help me figure out how to post a message with just a link to my main message?)
I bought John Stevens' Red for Amy for Christmas and this Chris Rice song reminds me of his croonings, but I like it even better. Thanks, Chris, for the big smile it brings everytime I hear it!
