I now have 11000 words!! I have more to write today. I have been so tired because of all the work I've been doing. Well, OK its not so much for those of you who have full time jobs just a lot for someone in school full time and trying to find a job. Actually, oops. I am supposed to be finding a job. Yeah, need to get on that ( Read more... )

I am still here. Since my last post I have gotten a job, written 4000 words, taking 15000 words worth of notes, started attending a women's cell at my church, started my diet (again) and become a vegetarian. I am also still looking for a job in the UK but if the need to be deported should arise then I have informed Amanda R. that I will be moving ( Read more... )

Right now I find myself reading a great deal about Teresa of Avila-a mystical Christian. I find myself challenged and amazed at her journey. She is one of these saints who is not pretentious about her faith-she has failed and she knows this. Her story is one of trying to be good enough for God, of trying to be the right type of person even through ( Read more... )

My heart is doing its strange fluttery thing again which now seems to coincide with the strange fluttery thing in my stomach. I think it’s the wind of change. As I look outside my window at the building slowly fading into the deepening sky I realize that the St Andrews I know as a student will not be returning in the fall. The Cathedral will ( Read more... )

Wondering what I am doing?! Me too!! I am back in St Andrews after a lovely time with my family in Illinois and Florida. I am currently hearing little scampering of tiny feet and I don’t mean children. I think there is a mouse in my house. In other news I am finally starting to my research and trying to read up a storm, or at least find a good ( Read more... )

I am going to see my parents tomorrow!! I can’t wait! I’m giddy with anticipation. I miss them so much. Pray for Kathleen Em and my travels. YEAH!!! Ooh-and I get a hair cut! Shall I chop it short again? Decisions. Decisions.

Went to Glamis Castle yesterday. Dreamt about the grey lady…I think. Froze walking around the grounds of the castle. Looking forward to warm breezes, no breezes and stifling heat. Oh, please. Oh, please. Oh, please. Staying in Stirling the next few days where I will meet up with Emily-once again. On Friday we are going to have another driving tour ( Read more... )

There has been much debate surrounding the recent Da Vinci Code movie. I do not wish here to labour in expounding upon Brown’s historical inaccuracies (more like silly guesses) or the theological implications of Jesus’ divinity or humanity. I do not even wish to side-step the conservative crisis of Jesus having sex, indeed lumping sex into sin is a ( Read more... )

Haven’t said anything here for way too long. Life went a bit nuts. First it was the musical, then Paris, then an essay (which I got a first on), and then an exam (which I also did very well on). I’ve also been scrap-booking like a mad woman for the past few days in an effort to have something to show the folks back home what I’ve been doing for a ( Read more... )

we’re not so big and not so important, but with these small eyes we will see wondrous things. with these tiny, blistered hands we might create a thing of painful beauty to mirror the beauty without and within, and with this feeble voice we shall sing life into the work of our hands, as a bellows blow through, not blowing ( Read more... )
