I don’t have OCD. But I do like things a specific way and if there is any point of deviation I will FREAK OUT! Not really. But kind of. Do you have any of those quirks, things that you love
This is one of my most transparent, vulnerable posts– a stream of consciousness description of a morning struggle with depression from a couple years ago. No pictures or jokes or videos, just my thoughts, jumbled and mangled as they are. Part
Does anyone else have this problem? You just can’t imagine an old friend or acquaintance being something other than what they were when you knew them. I could possibly call it “the Older Brother syndrome,” but this isn’t an issue
I was so sure. I had met the girl of my dreams and everything was perfect. I remember saying these words (or something along these lines- I don’t have phonographic memory!) to a mentor back home just a few weeks
A few months ago I posted some of the videos I’ve produced for Greenhouse Ministries at Poplar Creek Church, our ministries for our children and families. Our mission is to help children and families grow in the love of God. Here

Well, I never thought I would be writing about a dress. But here we are. 2015. No pizza hydrators, but online debates about the color of a dress. #Winning In case you missed the drama, a photo of a dress

I made this mix of songs for my sister for Christmas 2014. While many of the songs didn’t come out in 2014, I did discover them or fall in love with them in 2014. You can listen to the mix
Well, the Oscars were yesterday. Did you agree with their picks? There are definitely a few movies that I still need to see– Birdman, Boyhood, Grand Budapest Hotel, and others. But I figured I could select a few of my
