Spring Cleaning and Resolutions
I have always had a love of second-hand stores. I have been using them more and more. I rarely buy new clothes in the store any more. During the Nor-Easter we had on Wednesday I chose to do a lot of Spring cleaning in my room. I cleaned out a lot of expired vitamins and old medications, random things I do not use/need, and got rid of a bunch of ( Read more... ) -
Community
My church has changed from "bible studies" to "core groups" to "community groups". For a long time I honestly thought they just could not decide what they thought about wording. That annoyed me as an English major and someone who did not want to keep referring to the groups I attended weekly by the wrong term ( Read more... ) -
Revival in Albany
There is a conference being put on right now by a church that I attended for a few months before my home church switched its service time and I went where I felt called. I still love the church putting on the conference. I greatly respect their leadership. I think their pastor is amazing. I saw the YouTube video of the girl who would be leading ( Read more... ) -
Life: You know, That Adorable Thing That Annoys Everyone Equally
I am in the process of doing a lot of stupid things. Ok, stupid, but straight-up necessary. I am job hunting as well as trying to do the preliminary groundwork that needs to be done for me to write. I have the three books that I want to write in mind, some basic groundwork is done, but I really need to sit down and talk to people ( Read more... ) -
Giving, Not Taking
I realize this would appear to be a post about charity. I ask you to put aside your perception of the title and take a walk with me. This post is actually about transformative learning. This is a phrase that most people do not know, but almost all of the big players in 'motivational speaking' use it, just not the term ( Read more... ) -
Evangelism
It is funny that for the longest time I have seen evangelism as those people on the sidewalk with a sandwich board that reads "The end is nigh". I mean, honestly - you are going for shock value right now. Do not get me wrong - JC was a shocking guy. I mean, he legit would tell the Pharisees they were wrong and to get out of his face. That is just ( Read more... ) -
Christians & the Lie of Giving Too Much
Before Christ (you know, BC. Christian jokes, lol) we live our life as the world does. Some of us are "good", some of us are "bad", and some of us are "just getting by", but either way, we live in a 'works mentality'. A works mentality is the idea that if I do a good thing it puts a coin in the jar, if I do a bad thing it takes a coin out. It also ( Read more... ) -
Life Is Funny, So Are Cats
I find that the longer I live the more I am floored by "little" things. A friend was supposed to get back to me about working for her dad. I need to schedule my week if possible. I have been assisting with the after-paving aspects of his company, which involves cleaning and painting parking lots so that they look presentable. I really do not mind ( Read more... ) -
Work Process & Progress
I love Cutco. I think it is a fantastic product. I can talk about it for hours, days, weeks on end. I use it every day in my own kitchen. I constantly want to give it to people as a gift. I am that person who is way to excited about a product they use. I sell it again because I finally was able to purchase my sample kit. I am stoked about this and ( Read more... ) -
Light Up the World
As a Christian who is considerably active in my community, I have a lot of things that I like to do for fun, within the church as a whole. It is funny, the more my faith in Jesus grows and our friendship develops, the more I seek fun within the church. I still go out with non-Christians and do my best to be a witness to them, but my fun-fun comes ( Read more... )
