  • Mere Christianity.

    Mere Christianity.

    I know, twice in two days. That’s practically a record for me. As a quick follow-up to yesterday’s post, Why I Believe in God (On My Own Terms), I thought I might address a few things that have come up in conversations since. First, let me say that I’m very overwhelmed and humbled by the…

  • Why I Believe in God (On My Own Terms).

    Why I Believe in God (On My Own Terms).

    My life continues to amaze me. While I never would have imagined myself in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, everything has so far worked out in the best way possible. I have nothing I can complain about and very much consider myself to be a blessed person. That said, I do not attend church. I don’t have a…

  • The Things I Once Believed.

    The Things I Once Believed.

    It has been over two years since I moved to Oklahoma and nearly 3 since I started this blog. I started it thinking that “Hey, this will motivate me.” To stay in touch with friends. To track my diet. To stay on an exercise plan. To finally lose weight. I truly thought that all I…

  • Eternal 20-somethings and the Modern-Day Adult.

    Eternal 20-somethings and the Modern-Day Adult.

    To what are we aspiring? Almost every day, I wake up in the morning and check my phone to become either temporarily entertained (Facebook) or artificially inspired (Pinterest). I get ready and I come in to the office, where I switch between doing my job and reading articles that inevitably help to “form my opinion” on…

  • Alaskaaaa

    Alaskaaaa

    THEN I went to Alaska. We were back a week before I left for a week-long work trip to Anchorage! It was absolutely amazing. I actually checked a bag (which I’ve never done before), spent 7 straight hours on a flight (which I’ve never done before), enjoyed the land of eternal sun (which I’ve never…

  • Lucky

    At work, I’ve been working on what’s known as an “Individual Development Plan,” and I just wanted to give a shoutout to my supervisor and my company because they’re main goal is to get me where I can thrive and enjoy what I do and help me do what I need to do to get…

  • Home Improvement

    Good morning, world! We are now safely within the 3 week mark for the wedding (20 days!) and there’s seemingly little left to do. Now, I’m sure there will be some pleasant surprises day (and week) of, but as of now we’ve got most things pretty well set out. My family came up this past weekend…

  • Bachelorette for 27 days.

    Bachelorette for 27 days.

    Ah, yes. Look at this fun, wild, and crazy classy group of ladies! Although we’re missing 3 gals here (Brittany, Summar, and Ashley), this still pretty accurately sums up the group of friends that so lovingly took the weekend off and drove to Ft. Worth to celebrate my singledom (and how few days of it…

  • Afternoon Ponderings

    Sometimes, most often when I read or when I become suddenly aware of a moment I’m in, I wonder what it would have been like to have seen the world a hundred years ago. At this point, the Titanic had just sunk, the airplane was just recently adopted by the Army, and Henry Ford was…

  • In case I hadn’t made it clear…

    I’m so ridiculously excited about this movie!! Go listen to Young & Beautiful because I love it: https://soundcloud.com/#lana-del-rey
