Ahhh..Nothing like a good Disney cartoon to bring out the best quotes. Especially when it precedes a sappy love song written by Elton John. Not really, but that's all I can think of when Nathan Lane utters those fateful words in "The Lion King". Yes, I really enjoy kid's movies I grew up with, but I can poke a little fun at them as well, ok ( Read more... )

Well, it's official: I'm off to Kansas City on July 4th! (I leave on a redeye at 12:30 in the morning. Yippee.) I can't believe I'm actually doing it, but it's going to be so much fun! It's been so long since I've seen so many of my family, I won't know what to do with myself. Probably scream. Or not ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've truly sat down to write anything, so this might end up being a long one. Bear with me, as I process through some things on paper...Sometimes it's best just to write it out to figure out what's going on inside of me. Here goes ( Read more... )

I had an experience worth repeating on Saturday, as it does not bode well for anyone to repeat the mistake I made. Namely, I made pancakes. Not such a big deal, right? Well, I had just a little bit left of a bag of Kruzteaz pancake mix, the "just add water" kind. Krusteaz normally makes a pretty decent batch of pancakes, but on this morning, I was ( Read more... )

Anybody read the news this morning? Apparently someone heard shots in the the Rayburn Building, a House building on Capitol Hill. It's kind of ridiculous how quickly the story blew up, but I suppose it is in the best interest of everyone to investigate such a serious charge. My prediction? Someone's tire blew, or something dumb like that. I found ( Read more... )

Looking for a job is kind of a nerve-wracking experience, particularly when one is short on money (as I am). I want to get a job where I enjoy the work, hopefully know this is where God wants me to be, and has potential for growth. No small order, eh? I suppose it starts with thinking about how I serve God best, and growing off of that. I guess I'm ( Read more... )

So...I've been trying to think outside the box on this whole job thing, and it came to a crux yesterday when I was offered a job to teach ESL (English as a Second Language) to elementary-age students in South Korea for year. I actually really enjoyed the conversation I had with the guy I interviewed with, but after about 2 hours of research (the US ( Read more... )

This morning I had a rather big debate internally whether or not to go down to Athey Creek Church, or go to a closer church. I had been meaning to visit Athey Creek on Sunday morning, as I had really enjoyed the time spent on Wednesday night Bible study and a Sunday evening Church service. However, at the moment I don't have a job (more on that ( Read more... )

I didn't think it would be easy, but it really is hard to let go of something that has been under my control for so long. I know God is going to use this transition from steady work to finding a new job, but I am having a hard time not worrying. God will provide, and everything is going to work out fine, but I can't help but have that sort of ( Read more... )
