Scenes from a Nativity

It's that time of year again. Lights are wrapped around trees and banisters. Stockings are hung by the chimney with care. And nativity scenes, large and small, dot the landscape and decorate coffee tables from here to the North Pole. These are the signs that let our eyes know that Christmas is coming. In many … Continue reading Scenes from a Nativity

No Shave November

I realize that title will be a little misleading. I did not participate in any sort of "No Shave November" event. I also did not participate in "Movember" to raise awareness for anything. So I apologize who just clicked on my blog thinking you were getting a riveting tale of raising money and/or awareness for … Continue reading No Shave November

Day Thirty

A Dream for the Future This seems really similar to yesterday's post. As I mentioned before, I'm not really one to plan for the future. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. And, while I don't necessarily think of myself as a pessimist, I'm definitely not an optimist. I joke around with … Continue reading Day Thirty

Day Twenty Nine

My Hopes, Dreams, and Plans for the Next 365 Days Hmm... hopes... dreams... plans... That sounds like a lot of work. I mean, you wanna make God laugh, tell Him your plans, am I right? Look, I'm not a fan of making plans. I don't want to make wild claims that I'll be living in … Continue reading Day Twenty Nine

Day Twenty Eight

What's In My Wallet? Driver's License Health Insurance Card Dental Insurance Card (2 copies, because reasons) Red Cross Blood Donor Card (I'm A- BTW) School portraits of myself from 6th & 7th grades, just in case I'm telling the story of how I was anorexic and they don't believe me. Those pictures show the drastic … Continue reading Day Twenty Eight

Question of the Week

If the person you were engaged to marry had an accident and became a paraplegic, would you go through with the marriage or back out of it? It's tough to say how I'd respond in that situation. I assume that if I was in love enough to be engaged to someone, then I'd be in … Continue reading Question of the Week

Day Twenty Seven

My Worst Habit I would say that one of my worst habits would be that nasty habit I have of pushing people away. It's something I recognize in myself and talk about on this blog all the time. Yet, for some reason, it's one of those things that I have a very difficult time changing … Continue reading Day Twenty Seven

Day Twenty Six

My Week, In Great Detail This will just be a typical week. Not a specific week that was. Granted, there's not really such a thing as typical. But I'll give it a shot. And it won't be as detailed as the incredibly boring day I described in yesterday's post. Sunday-- When you're on staff with … Continue reading Day Twenty Six

Day Twenty Five

My Day, In Great Detail I thought about writing this post earlier in the day today and writing the details about yesterday. But I was at work. And, for me, work involves confidential information that I really shouldn't openly share on a blog. So you're getting my day today. It was the beginning of Thanksgiving … Continue reading Day Twenty Five

The 5 Most Beautiful Things I’ve Ever Seen

Not too long ago, I was able to thumb through a friend's copy of the new illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I took a picture of it and posted it online, intending to let the world know that I wanted a copy of it as well. Along with that post, I … Continue reading The 5 Most Beautiful Things I’ve Ever Seen
