    Books: Finished The Meaning of Marriage by Tim and Kathy Keller. This should be required reading for everyone—single, dating, married—doesn’t matter. Amazing Biblical insights. (Available through the Greenville County Library system…just sayin’). Writing: I terrorized a mall full of children this week. I’m not sure what I think of myself right now!

  • Oct. 16th, 2012 Detailed Directions? Not exactly…

    I like detailed directions. Extremely detailed. If you ever need directions to my house, I don’t just say turn left on this street and right on that one. Oh no.

And that’s why I love the hardwood floors in my house. Herds of small children can run around carrying cups of purple grape juice and I don’t [ read more ]
