Comments: 9 | Categories: About Me , Blogalicious , Faith
So I've been thinking about what it means to "write more churchy stuff" because, as you may not be surprised to learn, I had no freaking idea what that meant when I wrote it last week. I'm still not sure...

Comments: 11 | Categories: Faith , What I want to be when I grow up
Ever since I went to that workshop a weekend or two ago I've been thinking more and more about where I put my energy. Especially these last few days when I've spent so many hours writing. It's only been four...

So, I need a project. In all my fretting over what grad school was going to be like, I never fretted about being bored. (Which is the problem with fretting, anyway. Whatever you're fretting over is rarely what you SHOULD...

March 29, 2009: My frillionth exercise in humility
