I would like very much to be the author of the next great children’s story, like Winnie the Pooh. Seriously. I could read those stories all day. Maybe when I retire from teaching, I shall write children’s books.

Wow, this is beautiful, if beautifully sad. Still, outstanding work.
Thank you :)

A Distant Memory
I look into your eyes, the shape of you filling up the space beside me. Your eyes appear intoxicated as they gaze into mine, evidence to me of your affection. You love me, who was just yesterday the little girl with matted hair and dirty fingernails from whom the little boys ran at recess. Your love has rendered me a woman, my childhood left behind me in a faraway memory. I have never beheld...
I'm going the to do the Down and Dirty Mud Run 5K... →
I’m so excited. I mean I’ve run 3.1 miles before, but this is my first actual 5K. And we will climb on a rock wall, and run through a mud pitt, which as a summer camp instructor is the sort of thing I am accustomed to doing. This is like one of my dreams coming true!! :D

Now, I need a hug. And therapy. Lord of all that is good, PLEASE let me have a job and somewhere to live by May.
Merry Christmas, Everybody!
Unto us a Savior was born! And he’s coming back!

Niko's Nature: A short apology for my comments... →
nikosnature:
We are told to love all humanity in the way Christ loved humanity. Christ loved humanity by sacrificing himself for all mankind in the hopes that by his sacrifice all men will be saved. Therefore, should we not also hope that all men are saved? While I am prepared to accept the possibility that…
All of those points presume faith in Christ. Jesus DOES say that faith is...

I'm writing again :)
And it makes me so happy. To string my heartaches into pretty little words is the most therapeutic thing in the whole world.
Sadness and worry, go away.
I’m going to have a good break, and neither of you is going to be a part of it.
This will all be fine. Everything is going to be fine.

I know how you feel! It’s awful!
This is why I like you! Too much time as the single girl= not good for girls like us. :D
I want to kiss every guy I see.
It’s seriously a disease from not getting any male attention at college. Now, I come home and guys talk to me and smile at me and I just want to kiss them. I’m pretty sure this is why I got bad grades in high school, only now I am too old to have an excuse for boy craziness. Can I just be frivolous?
flowersforhamlet replied to your post: I decided that I’m going to get the job of approving hymnals.
i love you for this.
:D I’d also like to add “I am the Bread of Life” to that list. We can’t just go around singing heretical and/or stupid songs. Anything that could fall under the category of “Kumbaya” or just plain heresy needs to go. I cringed at...

Seriously? ”Look East”? Come on people, just stop and ask yourself “is this song EVER liturgically appropriate?” And if the answer is no: just ban it from all hymnals so that no one is subject to hearing it during the mass.

1. A time to discover God’s will for your life, grow into your own person, travel without abandon, flourish in self-confidence, and become the Proverbs 31 woman you were meant to be.
2. Not a time to wallow, become restless, get angry, or settle for anything less than the man who has been chosen for you. Most of all, this is a time that shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Break is not off to a good start.
I woke up and almost fainted for no apparent reason. I felt faint all day.
It rained… it always rains when I have to drive for 5+ hours.
I accidentally switched into the wrong lane and went to Akron, Ohio adding two hours to the drive home.
I got a ticket because I stopped paying attention to my speed until I saw a cop who busted me.
I’m breaking out.
Tomorrow will be better. I...
Don’t you worry your pretty little mind...
