Heads Up

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

Ha. I've been out of touch with the blog-o-sphere for the past week or so. :)

Do Hard Things is on my list of must-reads for every teenager. Unbelievable. I actually liked it so much that I did a small book club with it this summer. Who knew you could get teenagers to do a book club? I'm such a nerd.
