What a mess! I got to splatter paint for a stage design this week, and I think it turned out beautifully. It’s a great parallel to the state of my life in this moment – creative, but messy. I don’t mind the chaos because I have a peace that it will yield wonderful fruit, but…
I had the opportunity to travel to Greece and Turkey with a church group for a week and a half, and boy was it magical. I travelled internationally for the first time, saw ancient ruins from empires past, learned more about St. Paul, discovered more about Greek culture, and connected with amazing people along the…
I’m traveling right now! Sorry, no time to talk – I have to sleep then board a plane in a few hours. I’ll catch you up later!
What an (un)eventful week! I spent a ton of time resting from a small medical procedure on Monday. I got plenty of sleep, caught up on some shows, and turned down so many plans with friends 😔 But life is lived in the little moments, and sometimes it’s the quiet pleasures that refresh the soul.…
March is here! Isn’t it insane that 2025 is 1/6 over? I thought we just celebrated New Year’s a couple weeks ago. But anyway, I went on a few walks this weekend to really take in the (slightly) warmer weather, and I had the pleasure of accompanying my girlfriend and her dog. You can see…
I woke up to birds chirping outside, and it brought such a serenity to my morning. Then I noticed these crows hanging around at work and I had to take their photo! As you might expect, they did not cooperate, so I was forced to appreciate them from a distance. Perhaps I’m preaching to the…
It snowed again! And apparently there’s even more on the way. I’m really trying to be grateful for the pretty weather, but at this point it’s hard to shake off (literally) the annoyance of snow and ice blanketing the county. I had my fun; no more I say! The image here puts on display a…
Now that the exciting part of winter is over, I’ve been impatient for warmer, more “social” weather. You know, the kind of temperature and sunshine that compels one to make plans for barbecues, yard games, and hangouts! Winter has its place, and I’m beyond grateful to have a season dedicated to blankets and cocoa, but…
Is that the sun??? What lovely weather we’ve had the past two days. I’m wishing we had a few more hours of sunlight, but I’ll count my blessings – no reason to be discontent about such a bright sky. My girlfriend had the spectacular idea of grabbing ice cream after work, and though we’re in…
These goobers got married this weekend! Two of my closest friends said their I Do’s before God and the state of Indiana on Saturday, and I couldn’t be happier for them. This photo was taken at the City Museum in St. Louis back in 2023, and I remember that day trip very fondly – not…
