Last Wednesday I posted this photo on Instagram and Facebook: With these words typed below it: This semester Wednesday nights look like this. Anthony works after Program so we meet at the Senior Center early before Bible Study. I bring him food and usually coffee (this week it was orange juice) and we talk about … Continue reading Word.

On Short Stories and Old Facebook Notes
I have been thinking a lot lately of writing short stories and putting them Out There -- either on this blog or, more recently, Wattpad. In Chapter 6 of DIY MFA, Gabriela Pereira writes about ideas and how do you know if this idea is The One. For book-length projects she suggests writing short stories … Continue reading On Short Stories and Old Facebook Notes
Blog-tember Challenge // Day 6: What I’m Listening To
Music is powerful. You can hear songs that were so important and meaningful to you from childhood and high school again in your 20s and know 99.9% of the music and lyrics and, at the same time, be transported back to a memory that you associate with those lyrics and tune. At my parents' house … Continue reading Blog-tember Challenge // Day 6: What I’m Listening To
Blog-tember Challenge // Day 5: A Memorable Birthday
I have enjoyed many memorable birthdays. For my 18th birthday, my parents and sister threw me a surprise party (my cousin wrote me a song!). When I turned 19 (or 20), I was working at McDonalds and some of my church family from Rescue showed up at the end of my shift. (That was a … Continue reading Blog-tember Challenge // Day 5: A Memorable Birthday

WARNING: Don’t Do Life Solo!
I'm a bit of a sporadic blogger. IÂ am a sporadic blogger at best. After I wrote about God being weird, I overthought my review post of A Thousand Splendid Suns. (I'm pretty sure I cried about it. Here's my current review of it: just go read it). And Anthony and I decided I needed to … Continue reading WARNING: Don’t Do Life Solo!
Bob & God
"I love details. And lists. And plans. Routines. I love crossing things off. Which is why I've finally (see: again) planned out a daily schedule for myself and given myself goals for this month. Two living, breathing, attainable goals. ("Intentionality, people!") But there comes a time when I've planned too much and made too many lists and taken too many notes, sat through too many classes, live events, and webinars..."
Ripple Effects
The coolest thing happened today. I jumped. Off of a 7 or 8 foot high rock into the North Fork of the American River just past the Foresthill Bridge. It was one of the most terrifying, fun, courageous things I've done in awhile. The thing is: the majority of the time I sat on that … Continue reading Ripple Effects
