This abandoned property is simply lovely. I sure will miss these views when I move out of the plex. How fun is this? Why yes, I do take random pictures in the grocery store. I listed to this message from the Redemption Church podcast and was very encouraged! Thursday I went out to Yard House…

My Week in Pictures
I take my lunch breaks in my car and was working on some home work when I noticed the light and shadows here.So pretty! I’ve been drinking loose leaf tea and realized that I don’t have to strain the tea in a bowl and then pour it into my cup. I can just use the silver…
Farmer’s Market Fun
I’ve been trying to post this since yesterday, (well I’ve been trying to post for months but had to wait for the inspiration to come) but other things have been taking up my time. I also wanted the re-design to be complete before I posted anything (I may or may not be a perfectionist). I…
Tune in Tuesday
Let’s be honest with ourselves here – as dignified American citizens, there would be nothing worse than having to publicly admit we listen to Country music because after all, listening to music about tractors, alcohol, dogs and just plain evil revenge plots, is a little – well, silly. Most of us don’t spend our days…
A Theology of Tragedy
In light of recent events (the shooting at Sandy Hook, the Dorner shooting and today’s explosions in Boston) I believe that I have a responsibility as one who follows Christ to shed light on why tragedy happens and what your response should be whether or not you follow Christ. I would like to begin by admonishing you…
Apartment Living Part 2
Money Matters Money is something that everybody wants but nobody seems to have (even though we all know that whatever our circumstances are, we really are blessed considering that we are doing far better than we deserve). In order to grasp financial planning on any scale, I highly recommend purchasing Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey. …
Tune in Tuesday
Due to some of the news (if you could call it that) stories that I’ve heard about John Mayer, I can’t say that he is someone I would consider to be a good example of a role model. However when considering John Mayer the musician, it is almost worthless to attempt to argue his talent….
It’s Not Fair
One of my favorite quotes – It’s from the song Be My Escape by Relient K. When I recently found out that the first guy I had dated is now engaged, I thought to myself, “Now, that’s just not fair!” As if I really deserve my life to be fair by my standards. When I…
Anxious for Nothing
This morning I listened to this message by John Piper as I was getting ready for work. I also recently read two devotionals about anxiety by Jerry Bridges (thanks Jill!) and while I was tempted to be anxious, I confidently walked in to work today knowing that I have the Holy Spirit dwelling in me and…
Apartment Living Part 1
The Bare Necessities A vintage Kodak camera I bought for $5.00 and an original first edition Nancy Drew book from 1930 are just a few of the treasures we’ve used as decorations. As a girl I’d often dreamed of how I would decorate my house when I grew up. I used to think the Better…
