Ok, I’ve heard it all. All the bad stuff soda does for you. And I haven’t cared. (FYI, I am from Texas. We call all soda the nickname for Coca-Cola. All of it. Even though I hardly ever drink Coca-Cola products, it is still called that. However, to avoid confusion and hopefully avoid weird Google [...]

Strength for the Journey pt. 2
Yesterday I told you about the results for my StregthsFinder test. Today, some reflection:
Interestingly enough, after reading my descriptions and discussion with some people at my table at the retreat, I realized something: I often see my strengths as a burden on others. I feel that I am taking something away from someone when I [...]

Strength For the Journey Pt. 1
“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” – 1 Peter 4:10
A few weeks ago, I went to a half day retreat called “Strength for the Journey.” This retreat was held by my Diocese for young adults. About 55 of us met at [...]

Requests?
I had hoped to be posting about a Red Raider victory this morning, but that just didn’t seem to be in the cards. There was some positives about the game: namely, the fact that we did not fall apart when mistakes were made. They bounced right back and made good plays. This is a huge [...]

7 Quick Takes
1. I know, I know. It’s a real post, not just a video of a song I like. Don’t get too excited, I don’t know how regular I’m going to be with this. I seem to be in a small writing drought. I’ve started a post a million times only to leave it blank. I’ll [...]

7 Quick Takes

12 of 12: May 12
Sorry about the delay. The problem with Tuesday is that it is followed by Wednesday, which is my busy day. To make up for the delay, I will throw in some bonus pics.
But let’s begin with my day on May 12 (due to an unfortunate incident, there are only 11 pictures.)
5:05am – My day begins [...]

April Challenge
The March Challenge was a failure. I do think, however, that I am drinking less soda, so I guess that is a positive.
April’s Challenge is inspired by a website that I like called Unclutterer. I decided that for April, I would “de-clutter” something every day. Not just throwing away trash, but actually going through different [...]

Monthly Challenge: March
I have decided that in addition to my lenten resolution, I will embark on monthly challenge every month – something that I will carry out every day for 31 days (or 30 days).
March’s challenge is thus: no soda.
Whoa mama is that going to be rough. I have cut back to diet sodas in the past [...]

Stream of Conscienceness
Sitting at Panera:
* Mango smoothies are good. You should try one.
* “Life is not just a succession of events or experiences: it is a search for the true, the good and the beautiful.” – Pope Benedict XVI
* Lent is coming! Yay! Marcel put together an awesome blog about Lent. You can check it out [...]
