Life is busy. And crazy. I’ve also used the word “frenetic” a lot lately when people have asked how I’m doing. In the midst of the chaos, I thought I’d pass along a few gems…little things I’ve enjoyed these past few days. I would consider each item a “break from life”…things that have given me [...]

I Heart Weekends

I sort of dread Mondays. It’s not because I hate my job or anything…I mean, let’s be honest. I essentially get paid to sit with students and enjoy coffee or a meal and we talk about life. I simply open my wisdom drawer and pull out whatever perfect word of encouragement, experience, or empathy they [...]
Hither and Tither

Last night, I was walking from the Student Union Building back to our apartment on campus, and it swept over me like a tidal wave: in a few months, I won’t live here any more. I won’t work on this campus. I won’t walk under these tall trees. I won’t see all the familiar faces [...]

This morning, I took the mid-term for the History of Christianity class I’m enrolled in through Regent’s distance learning program. I started the course in January, and I should have taken the mid-term long ago. What can I say? I have a life.
My partner Susie agreed to be my proctor, so after we spent ten [...]

Sadly, my very first 10 on 10 day turned out to be a very ho-hum kind of day. I spent a lot of my day in the campus dining hall, in my office, or sitting in various classrooms with current and future Peer Advisors (SPU’s version of Resident Advisors…because we like to be different). Alas, [...]
Finally, I am cool.

Attention World Wide Web. I have an announcement.
This evening, I went from this:
To this:
How could any good Millennial possibly resist? If you need me, I’ll be sitting at an independent coffee shop sipping fair trade coffee from a sustainable reusable cup, listening to indie music on my iPod and reading the news on nytimes.com courtesy [...]

Today, as I moved from one meeting to the next, I had WAY too many conversations about the pregnant man featured on Oprah today. Truly. He is all the buzz. I saw a commercial for the show last night, and immediately had to google this person.
The issues are MANY…but for now, my reeling brain seems to return again [...]

On Sunday night, Lisa and I attended a special concert hosted by the University at a church in downtown Seattle. At the very last minute, we’d convinced our friends Casey and Carlos to join us. They wanted to go to church that night, but we convinced them that this concert would be a significantly more [...]
