discovering me

If yesterday was an afternoon of restlessness when I experienced the weather, tonight is a night of restfulness experienced as abounding energy ready to be productively harnessed.
But it also marks an evening of being ‘done.’
Today marks the last day of my water-only drinking.
In a moment of reflection today, I realized that the end had come […]

Tonight in a rare moment to myself I worked on a new project. I’m super excieted about it. They’re starting up a new service at my church for high schoolers with a goal (I think) of it eventually becoming a service for 20 somethings. The descripions i hear of it sound like it will have […]

Did I tell you that I got 4 chickens for Christmas? Yup. Elisabeth bought me four Chickens. Fortunatly for me (and my neighbors and my lease agreement) she found a family to take care of them for me.

Looking at this it surprises me that my younger brothers are both in […]

I’ve been meaning to set aside time to write this for a week now and the time isn’t finding itself. So perhaps this will be a breifer look at some aspects of my journey than i originally intended and maybe it will combine the two versions I originally intended. (if you just want to skim, […]

It was confirmed again this year that Graduation ceremonies put me in a bad mood. Oh well, only one more to go…
