Synchroblog on Untouchables
I am writing book reviews en masse for my last class this quarter, feeling the buzz of deadlines like adrenaline in my blood. Otherwise I would’ve liked to be a part of this month’s Synchroblog. Check out what these smart Synchro folks are saying about those in society who seem to be “The Untouchables.” Mike […]

Emo and Walking Awkwardly
Well, the girls retreat was a raving success, and I laughed harder than I have in quite a long time. Elise was extraordinary with the girls, as expected. It seemed that the Spirit was a busy-one over our weekend. I waved Elise off at the aeroporto as she is flying back to Portugal tonight. Now […]

Girls Retreating to Williamsburg
Tomorrow I’m taking a couple car loads of teenagers down to colonial Williamsburg for a Girls Retreat. I’m a very happy Nelly that dear Elise is flying across the country to join us, all the way from California, on her way back to Portugal. She’ll do a lot of sharing from her life, from her […]

Spelling Bees Rule
I don’t normally watch TV while I run at the gym. Tonight was different. The dude next to me was watching the tube, so I decided I shouldn’t shut it off like I normally do. At least it was turned to ESPN. I can zone out ESPN just fine, thank you. How happy I was […]

Minnie-Me
This is what the Nelly does whilst distracting herself from finals. Verily, verily I say unto you, I’m happy to be 55% Minnie. I loved her in Good Will Hunting. http://www.myheritage.com (HT to the looking-like Beckham Tallskinnykiwi.)

“Little girl, I say to you, get up”
Last night I dreamt that I was in a European square near a riverfront. There were loads of people around and live musicians playing happy music. I was sitting down, looking bored, and just trying to blend into the scenery. All of a sudden, Arianna emerged, and she insisted that I get up and dance. […]

Saying Goodbye to Youth Work
On June 30th I’m drawing to a close a long stint of youth work. I only recently realized that my last day as youth director at the church stands for something much more significant than a job change. This is a goodbye to an era. I don’t take these things lightly. But I do know […]

Golf is Fun
Today I played in a golf tournament to benefit Young Life. It was my first time out all season. I was happy to make a couple of birdies and 20 footers. (I hit some real duffs and embarrasing putts, too.) I won the long drive competetition for both the men and women. That was fun. […]

Birdie Sings in Stereo
I haven’t been feeling so hot ever since we got off the plane from Florida. I really love traveling. But since I moved back to the USA from Europe, it seems I get sick each time I get off of a plane. (I keep telling myself it’s because this body is meant for Europe.) I’d […]

Jesus at the Yard Sale
My day was flooded with yard-saledom. Our youth group did one of those insane churchwide junk sales filled with blood, sweat, and sweet old ladies knocking early on the doors at 6:30am. We did the sale to raise money to mostly give away, and made about $1k. It flies in the face of what makes […]
