A couple of weekends ago, I went with the youth ministry I volunteer with on a ski retreat. We took two buses, a van, and a couple of other vehicles with us. I usually ride in the van because I have lousy knees and the bus gets too cramped. So, in preparation for this long [...]
This morning I woke up with writer’s block. It’s a horrible ailment for those who suffer with it. I cried, I mourned, I put my head in my hands… no, not really. But I stared at this blank Wordpress page for about a half an hour over the course of this morning and said “I [...]
I remember an argument I had with my mom during my freshman year of college. She had been cleaning out my room (I went 4 hours away for college, and, consequently, stayed down here after graduating) and she found 4 packs of thank-you cards… that she had bought for me to send out after my graduation [...]
No, I’m not going to teach you how to hook up a home network. Even though I probably could, considering I did so in my own home, that’s not what I mean by networking. I’m talking about networking for your business, resource, or for job hunt purposes. Today, we’re going to look at three basic ways [...]
Confession time! I am one of the most disorganized people on the face of the earth. My desk is always cluttered with papers, books, a dish or two, whatever you can imagine, it’s probably on my desk. See? Well, try to see. The sun coming through my window makes it a bit difficult to see. [...]
Let me tell you a story that I told last night when I taught at our youth ministry. I was coming back from winter break my sophomore year of college. On the way back through, I picked my best friend up from her house. My car already had some stuff in it, and then we [...]
I’ve shared on here before that I work with students on a volunteer basis. I love working with teenagers, except when there’s drama. Drama makes me want to put my head through a wall. It hurts everyone involved, can tear apart groups of friends, and make kids cry, a lot. More than once. I’ve had [...]
Okay, I admit it. I watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. The funny ones, the witty ones, all of those things that catch your attention and keep you tuning in. Now that I admitted it, you should too. You know you watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, especially when you don’t care about the teams [...]
I take a lot of online surveys. No, not the kind that give you hopes of working from home; usually the ones I do give me points toward Amazon gift cards. The point is, one of the companies that I take surveys with always asks me one question at the end of the survey. “Companies are [...]
Helping people with terminal and/or chronic illnesses is something that I’m really passionate about. Since I got my driver’s license, I’ve been an organ donor. I’ve gone to Hershey Medical Center with one of my teenagers who had to get testing for some pretty serious diseases. I lost my grandmother and mom to cancer within [...]
