…lodges itself in my memory as if it’s a person, is beyond me. I’m reminiscent today of cold days in Slovakia, of travels to and fro, of Barcelona in March, the promise of spring, in the stillness of winter. Today’s weather is like that. With snow flurries, and cold air, sunshine, and freshness. There’s something [...]

Haitians need tents. (The rain is coming, tarps are not enough) We have tents.
How do you know Haitians need tents? Here is the best article I’ve read yet on the subject from the Washington Post.

I can’t believe I haven’t blogged this yet. One of the most exciting things going on in my life right now (there are others, competition is a good thing in this category) the Exchange is of the highest ranked. It’s a clothing swap, no.

(Speaking of, super doubles at Harris Teeter this week!) I found this cutest ever idea to make a grocery list with matching clip board and pen [...]

I figure it’s best lived through the pictures that made it what it was. There are a lot of things [...]

In my small group we’re discussing two articles from Relevant Magazine’s December issue
I had to share a quote from an article titled, “Stealing Christmas” written by Jason Boyett, because I think it explains so beautifully the traditions of Christmas merged with the cause of Christ.
