A Prayer for the Comment Sections of the World
While I’ve always known that internet trolls are a thing, and that the anonymity that comes with a screen allows people to say things—horrible things—that they most likely wouldn’t say when put face to face with someone, I have recently been floored by the sheer number of opinions that are thrown every which way at… Continue reading

Be a Thermometer
A few weeks ago, I was at church and our pastor said something that really stuck out to me. He said, “Be a thermometer, not a thermostat.” If you Google the phrase, you’ll find that it has been taught before, in reverse, and often in regards to relationships with other people. This Forbes article discusses… Continue reading

The Perfect May Evening
At about 3:00pm yesterday, I woke up from an accidental two-hour nap. Needless to say, I felt like I was going to die. My arms and legs were heavy, my eyes were protesting staying open, my body as a whole was trying to reason with me—let’s just go back to sleep, we’ll wake you up… Continue reading

Eat the Cake While it’s in Front of You
My favorite cake in the world is celebration cake from Susie Cakes. Whenever I find myself in front of one, ready to take my first bite, I am so excited, but I am also sad. Why? Because I know that in about five minutes (or less), that piece of cake will be gone. And in… Continue reading

Our Trip to the Holy Land (The Last Part)
“This next week is going to go so fast,” Pastor Dudley said as we sat on the steps in Caesarea that first day. My mom and I were still in disbelief that we were actually, physically in Israel, and I was reeling from the long travel day and the complete upending of my normal routine.… Continue reading

Our Trip to the Holy Land (Part 4)
Saturday April 22nd On Saturday morning, I pulled the curtains back in our room so we could see our last sunrise on the Sea of Galilee. Our bags were packed, and we were due in the lobby by 7:00am so the bus could be loaded, and we could get on the road. We were heading… Continue reading

Our Trip to the Holy Land (Part 3)
Thursday April 20th I had some anxiety leading up to Day 4 as there were two words on the itinerary that, to me personally, can often sound like a threat: boat ride. Leading up to the trip, my mom bought two large packs of Dramamine, and we took them every morning like multivitamins. For Day… Continue reading

Our Trip to the Holy Land (Part 2)
Wednesday April 19th It would be wrong to call it “a blink” since in reality it was a grueling 20 hours of travel, but in the grand scheme of things, after leaving my front door on Monday, suddenly, in a blink, my mom and I were sitting across the table from one another, having breakfast… Continue reading

Our Trip to the Holy Land (Part 1)
Tuesday April 25th “As you eat, why don’t you find out a little bit more about how each of you ended up on this trip,” said Pastor Dudley. The patio, previously quiet, began to bustle in conversation. Spoons scooped into the appetizers in the center of each table, and dishes were passed counterclockwise. At my… Continue reading
