Fall has been a pretty good season. I've still been a lot mixed up in the head lately, but instead of being frustrated, sad, depressed or angry about all that, Im just accepting it as everyday life. Im in a crazy desert right now...so rather than be worried/anxious about all that Im just learning how to adapt to desert life. Of course I have a lot ( Read more... )

Life has been pretty good here in Minneapolis. Fall here is beautiful, especially down by the Mississippi River. My house has been pretty empty lately, which has been both good and bad at times. Im excited though because I have company coming. The Psalters will be staying with me for the next 4 days so it will be nice to have a house full of ( Read more... )

So I usually post this at the beginning of our 24/7 prayer weeks, but i was kinda slacking this time. At any rate theres a little over 24 hours left but I plan to be here for most of it (pulling an all-nighter!). Of course i'll be reading, writing letters, and other stuff besides just praying. Anyway, if youre the praying type (or even if you're ( Read more... )

So I officially live in a giant 4-plex house by myself. Im not really all that excited about this, cuz its boring, lonely, and hard to stay focused. Im hoping someone moves in soon.

I dont really remember how much I've posted about this, but I have been considering moving to Camden since june. After this visit, I ( Read more... )

So im back home! I use that term loosely though, as it doesnt really feel much like home. I suppose it will once I start seeing friends and stuff. I had dinner with the family last night which was great. I got home no problem. We got a ride to lansing from someone at Erics church and then I got a ride from lansing to my parents house from this ( Read more... )

Well Im back in Michigan, but not quite home yet. Were at the grayling public Library or something. Thursday was a really awesome day. Yesterday was probably the worst day of the trip. We got rained on all day. We waited for a train and tried hitching all day in the rain and only got 1 ride. kinda a bummer. We slept under a bride last night and got ( Read more... )

Well me and eric left yesterday for Michigan. We're going the U.P. route so its going to take us forever to get back. We caught a coal train last night while running almost full speed which was pretty exciting. We got off in junction city and hitched 11 miles into Stevens point Wisconsin which is roughly 216 miles from MPLS. Were at the library ( Read more... )
