Ryan Scott
Ryan couldn’t remember the last time he’d heard his mother talk about Hannah. Maybe it was because no one talked about Hannah. Maybe it was because no one wanted Ryan to go back into the state of darkness he’d been in for three years after she left him.
Or maybe it was because everyone still loved her, Mrs. Scott especially.
She raised six boys. And told them daily that she prayed she would have...
January 2011
Fact.
J.K. Rowling was a squib. She documented Harry’s life, and since she revealed the wizard world to the muggle world, the Statute of Secrecy became even more enforced. A law was passed that didn’t allow muggle-born wizards to attend Hogwarts, so that their parents wouldn’t learn about the magical world. That’s why we all don’t have our letters from Hogwarts.

January Mix
It’s the last day of January and I haven’t made the mix for this month. I’m so very disappointed in myself. Looks like I know what I’ll be doing tonight.

I have typed the words ‘Elevation Weekend’ so many times in the last week…
I can’t even think of anything clever.
A few thoughts:
I’m freezing cold.
I’m sick of the sleet and freezing rain. Bring me snow or bring me death.
I am SO thankful for my friend and mentor, Christine, and what Wednesday will bring me from now on.
My new ringtone deleted itself from my phone. I am not happy about that.
I love fleece pullovers.

Greatest Day Ever
Today I got a weird text message from someone named Big Red inviting me to an audio session. I declined, thinking it was some weirdo who had gotten a hold of my phone number.
Nope! It was my best friend, Torri, in Kansas. AND GUESS WHAT!? There is an app for the iPhone called HeyTell. IT IS A WALKIE TALKIE! I can talk to Torri, and anyone else for the matter, on walkie talkie mode. I love...

Take four. Final cut.
Last one…I promise. ——
The night my mom, Meghan, and Torri dropped me off at the dorms my freshman year of college is a night I will never forget. I was saying bye to two of my best friends. Torri would be at school with me, but I had to say bye to Meghan…and my mom. I remember my mom going into my RA’s room…which at the time I was horrendously embarrassed by,...
Take three
Forgive me, I am in a writing mood. ————
I remember the first time I saw the redhead I now have the privilege of calling my best friend, partner in crime, safe place, Emma, mother of my first god-baby, and sister. It was at Sunday School, in the old modulars. She walked in with Rory. Let’s just say that rubbed me the wrong way. I think was Team Rory at that point-...
Providential Relationships, take 2.
My senior year of high school was…a whirlwind of events. Between having friends leave, making new friends, the inevitable out-of-left-field relationships that, by the way, can only come during senior year, and the excitement of getting out of Stafford, I made some less than stellar choices. I became a Christian after my freshman year of high school. I was 13 years old and God radically...
Providential Relationships
I remember when I made up my mind to move back home. After many, many failed attempts to find a job to keep me in the city of Lynchburg that I had grown all too fond of, I knew moving home was not only the ‘best’ option…it was the ONLY option. I’m sure I could have bounced around from house to house rent free for a few months. But you can only do that for so long. So,...

the high is 32. YUCK.
