Guest Post by Trena. I am really thankful for Trena’s decision to write about the pill in a way that most people never consider.
When I was a senior in high school, my period got really out of hand. For several months, I would come home sick the first day of my period. I [...]

Memory
I realized this morning that I should write more about life because otherwise I simply will not remember it. Totally cliche, yes?
But it was quite real for me at 6:00 this morning as I lay in bed trying to remember the details of almost getting kicked out of college.
I remember that I had only been [...]

Sundays
I hated Sundays as a child. My parents believed that Sundays were a day set apart, and that meant that they were miserable for children.
Sunday morning was filled with the less-than-engaging church service that seemed to take forever. Church was sandwiched between the drive which took almost an hour each way. Sunday afternoons were filled [...]
John the Baptist
St. John the Baptist had a most difficult office to fulfil; that of rebuking a king. Not that it is difficult for a man of rude arrogant mind to say a harsh thing to men in power,—nay, rather, it [...]
Wedding Regrets: Photography
My largest wedding regret is photography. For various reasons we ended up with a time-crunch and chose an over-priced photographer whose actual work didn’t match up to her portfolio. I did not negotiate on price and so we paid more for photography than all the rest of the wedding & “honeymoon” expenses combined. Yes, it [...]
Rings and Things
I am in a coffee shop and the four men at the table across from me have repeatedly grabbed my attention. The three middle-aged (perhaps on the line of retirement) men and one young man are discussing relationships and rings.
Older man 1: …Save yourself a lot of money. I will tell you what to do. [...]

Considering My Environment: Drying Hair
I have not been online much for the past few weeks. I wish that I could say that was due to the fact that I was abstaining from wasting electricity. Alas, the explanation is far more mundane and, well, less virtuous. It involves sickness and business and the usual. But, while I have not been [...]
June Environment Observation
After thinking a lot about my last post I decided to post daily in June. My plan is to consider my day and to note each thing in my immediate environment which I could change in order to have a better (less negative) impact on the environment as a whole. This might turn into a [...]
Original Sin Makes Me Feel Warm and Fuzzy
Okay, so that title isn’t entirely accurate. But Jenna’s post on sin got me thinking about how the doctrine of original sin is actually a positive thing.
The doctrine of original sin is a happy doctrine for a few reasons. The first is that original sin offers a suggestion of how God can be good even [...]
101 Goals in 1001 Days
Somewhere around two years ago I first saw someone’s post about completing 101 things in 1001 days. I’ve seen a few others in the meantime, but nothing ever seemed to come of the posts. Then, a few months ago, I saw one of Krista’s posts updating her 101 in 1001 list. I was quite impressed [...]
