As of January 30th, 2026 our little family has moved to Savannah, Georgia (more on that below)! One of the downsides of moving to a new city is the loss of connection with those you leave behind. So we are starting something called The Savannah Post. It is a monthly piece of mail which willContinue reading “The Savannah Post, Our Snail Mail Club”

August Reflections and Photos
I wanted to write a post tonight, and my thoughts are a little scattered. So I will, and it will be about what’s happening in my life, some reflection on books I’m reading, and a few photos. What is happening There are only snapshots of my life where I have not been in school. AContinue reading “August Reflections and Photos”
Life in Phoenix ’24
I am very excited for this new year. I’ve begun cataloging posts by year as well as by topic (see below), and it’s remarkable to realize I’ve been writing on this website for about 8 years. Most of what I write falls into the essays and articles category, and probably not enough goes in theContinue reading “Life in Phoenix ’24”

Tell Yourself a Story
One of my goals is to become a counselor. That said, therapy, mental health, and counseling ideas are something I think and read about a good deal. This week, I came up with an idea for a way of helping myself understand my own life, and I wonder if it might be helpful for someoneContinue reading “Tell Yourself a Story”
Do I Have to Give Money When People Ask?
I’ve never been big on using the language of “spiritual attacks,” but I think I was spiritually attacked. The week before we moved to Arizona, we bought a bike for me. It was a beautiful red and silver bike with narrow road tires and a heck of a lot of gears. I was pretty proudContinue reading “Do I Have to Give Money When People Ask?”
