For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a writer. Yes, I know. Blogging is writing! But I want to write a book. A novel. I want to hold the crisp clean pages of a novel that bears my name.
One thing that has always stopped me has been the knowledge that one [...]

There really are no words for this…

Today definitely doesn’t feel like Easter.
For starters, it snowed yesterday. Easter is supposed to be all springy! Not snowy!
Then, I’m supposed to spend Easter (as well as all major holidays) with my family. Who are all 1,700 miles away.

And there’s nothing Christlike about that.
I just finished reading Adam, the new book by Ted Dekker. It’s a psychological thriller that, [...]

No, I haven’t forgotten (or given up on) the death penalty debate. I know it’s my turn to post something, but I just haven’t had the ability this past week to coherently put my thoughts together.
It’s coming, I promise.

I know that most people hate passive aggressive people. Well boo frikkin’ hoo. I happen to be the queen of passive aggression. I’m that girl who, when interrupted one too many times, will refuse to speak another word to you rather than explaining to you why I’m upset. But why should I have to explain [...]

Just so we’re clear.
You are not better than me.
