do you wake up thinking about the beauty of God?
What would we think of people who gleefully throw mud at a pure white wedding dress, vandalize classic and precious works of art, or burn copies of Shakespeare’s plays? At best, we label them confused. At worst, we label them … Continue reading do you wake up thinking about the beauty of God?
hush your mouth
*Disclaimer: I’m writing this to myself. It is my hope that I can change from these experiences and reflections. If others benefit as well, that would be wonderful. But since the beginning of this blog, my main purpose in writing is to keep myself accountable by reviewing what I journal on this site. All opinions are my own unless otherwise stated.

9.10.10
Thus begins the longest week of my life. Disclaimer: My previous post was in no way a complaint. I actually seem to thrive during periods of insane activity. 🙂 Also, I work really well with checklists, so the post was one way of me rehearsing what I needed to prepare for and accomplish over the next several days. I’m very thankful for the opportunities ahead of me and I definitely look forward to both couples getting married! It is at times like these that I truly realize how grateful I am for God’s Word and the encouragement of my brothers … Continue reading 9.10.10
