Prayer Request
As the Christmas season approaches, my family seems to be under attack. My dad has been having a lot of really random health issues, beginning in early summer. Now, he is starting to take anti-depressant medication tonight. He is now having anxiety attacks, and he’s feeling the empty nest syndrome. My mom also informed me that he really wishes he ( Read more... ) -
Lay Ups Make Me Wanna Throw Up

I'm kind of excited to sub...other than the fact that I'm subbing Industrial Arts (Shop), which I never cared much for. My dad asked the regular teacher what'd we be doing, and I'm going to be ( Read more... ) -
Self-Control
Dallas Willard's article Transformation of the Mind:

Thoughts determine the orientation of everything we do and evoke the feelings that frame our ( Read more... ) -
Pulling My Hair Back
I am attempting to grow my hair out to maximum length! What does that mean? I don't know...maybe as long as I can stand it. Here is what it looks like so far:
