Since I haven't been able to really write on here about anything meaningful as of late (b/c I don't think it is cool to put really personal info on your blog) I thought I would give you a list of things that I have been digging as of late. So here it goes...
1.) The book, Do Hard Things. A lot of my students are reading it, too, and I have really seen a change in their attitudes. Its cool to see. The writers have a blog, therebelution.com, and the articles on chivalry are excellent. The modesty survey is good as well, and the definitions make me laugh a lot.
2.) Music: Inevitable and Breaking by Anberlin, Hallelujah by Bethany Dillon and White Horse by Taylor Swift (I know she is a little bubble gummy, but I like the song anyhow)
3.) Forgiveness. I have been thinking about this a lot lately and how it is part of the process of sanctification. It is hard to forgive somethings. And just when I think something is forgiven, a new layer opens up and I feel like I am at square one again. I've been pondering this week if it is possible to forgive something when you are still hurt over it. I welcome your feedback.
4.) Real Simple: both the magazine and the website. You should see the amount of decorating I have done recently.
5.) All things fall. I love the smell, the attitude, the cooler weather. It's beautiful and, yes, I attended two bonfires this weekend. Be jealous.
p.s. Jenn, your present is on the way...I just stink at actually mailing things...and you will love it

Ramblings
I haven't updated in awhile...so here are some things I have been thinking about:
1.) The average height of an American woman is 5'4"...I am 5'3" and the majority of women I know are significantly taller than me...so I think the average is off or the people they used for their research were abnormally short
2.) Although I have a great respect for the people who put the words to songs in PowerPoint (hey, I've been that person before...it's not a super fun job), I would just like to remind them that a comma does not need to be after every line...really...you don't
3.) New Kids on the Block have made a comeback...so how much longer will the world have to wait for an N'SYNC reunion?
4.) Martin Davis retired from his blogging...the world is now a much sadder (and less witty) place
5.) Fall is my favorite season for the following reasons: I like the colors orange, brown and green. Pumpkin carving is a good activity. And humidity goes away and everyone's hair behaves better and when people's hair behaves better, people are nicer.
