I heard them from across the house:
A thousand fingernails screeching down a chalkboard.
At the back door, I stood in awe.
Distinct voices sounded one after the other in a magnificent chorus:
All sang fortissimo.
We had visitors today.
What they were calling for or why they stopped here,
I still don’t know.
Odd. Then erie. Then miraculous.
We had an unseasonably warm [...]

This morning, I turned in my last seminary exam. But just when I was about to crash and catch up on my sleep, I realized I hadn’t sent in my absentee ballot. The North Carolina primary is Tuesday, which means my ballot is due by 5pm Monday. YIKES. So, as I scrambled around trying to [...]

This week, I’m working on a research paper for my class, The American Jeremiad: American Religion, American History.

Today was the annual PTS Women’s Center Luncheon for Senior Women, as well as one of the first days that I have seen flowers in bloom in more than seven months.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the headaches of looking for a house while being so far away from Charlotte. Well, the situation just got easier, because I think we have a winner!

With two more weeks of seminary left, I find myself away from Princeton and in San Antonio for the PCUSA Multicultural Conference. I have to admit that the first day and a half, I wasn’t sure what I was going to take away from the conference itself. Along the way, I have learned some tools [...]

I’m not sure what is going on with my wordpress and/or my browser right now, but the last two times I’ve tried to post things to my blog, I’ve clicked “save” only to be presented with a blank post upon its re-opening. So, I’m not going to go on and on in detailed posting until I [...]

This is me at one of the first birthday parties I attended after my family moved to Concord. What’s the story behind the face? I have no idea. It comes from a video in which I am screaming EEEEEW! (probably because some boy said something gross or passed the cooties). My sister took the photo [...]
