What to Wear on a Mission Trip
Would you believe me if I said clothing can hold people back from serving in missions? It’s true though. The two questions that are repeated to me most when planning mission trips are: For anyone who has served others, whether locally or globally, these are hardly the most important questions to ask! Nevertheless, they often […]
Today I Voted
Today I voted. I exercised my civic duty by voting in the 2024 Presidential Election. There were other items on the ballot, too. Other positions and people and amendments. I voted for these as well. Most of them, anyway. There were a few boxes I left blank, as I wasn’t educated enough to make a […]
Gratitude Challenge 2024
It’s that time of the year again… When the leaves turn to red and orange. When scarves and boots are the go-to wardrobe. When candles, books, and blankets become the main weekend activities.

Today Was a Hurricane
Today was a hurricane. Literally, there was a hurricane. I would probably also say “today was a hurricane” when it was a stressful day, but that’s not what I mean in this blog. Hurricane Helene came through this weekend and wreaked unbelievable havoc on the southeast. While hurricanes are common this time of year, the […]
Today I Was Anxious
Today I was anxious. It’s been a week full of anxiety-inducing events. I felt anxious, unsure, sad, and mad all at the same time. I wonder if maybe you felt the same way? Weeks like this can bring down the morale of the whole culture. Another school shooting, the anniversary of the attack on 9/11, […]
