On rainy nights, I see myself staying in the cabin with my parents, falling asleep to the peaceful sound of rain through the window. But most nights, I might strike out for the woods and sleep under the stars, where Gilbert, Snickers and Aslan, or if their souls aren't eternal like those of humans, thanContinue reading "A Day In My Life After the Restoration: Part 2"
A Day in My Life After the Restoration: Part 1
Last year when I wrote my first post about the restoration, I did not actually intend to publish it on Easter. It just so happened that Easter was the day all my thoughts came together and I felt the post was ready to publish. But in hindsight, I got to thinking maybe God was involvedContinue reading "A Day in My Life After the Restoration: Part 1"
President Trump’s Immigration Policy Is at Odds with Christian Principles
Well readers, I have two happier posts in the works, one of which is about how much I love my kitten Aslan whom I introduced in my last post. But given that my kitten and dog enjoy a higher standard of living than our government is providing children seeking asylum at our borders right now,Continue reading "President Trump’s Immigration Policy Is at Odds with Christian Principles"
Healing the Cat-Shaped Hole in My Heart
Well readers, I apologize that it has been so long since I last posted here, and that my last post was so negative. I haven't totally abandoned writing during this time.

Failed to Find Sunshine Square (Part 1)
Well readers, I didn't want to reveal exactly when I was going to New York with my family, just as a precaution in case someone was merely reading my blog to figure out when they could come to our house and rob us. But the day after I published my previous post began the threeContinue reading "Failed to Find Sunshine Square (Part 1)"
Trying to Leave My House on Grumble Street and Move to Sunshine Square
Well readers, remember that nice Christian post I wrote about my travel anxiety, brought on by an upcoming trip to New York City to visit my sister, and how I was going to trust that God would take care of me? Well, as the trip drew ever closer, I realized I have done a terribleContinue reading "Trying to Leave My House on Grumble Street and Move to Sunshine Square"
I Don’t Want to Play the Game
On Monday January 28, our community woke up to a snowstorm. It seemed every school and business decided to close except the office where I work. I felt bad that my mom had to get outside early and shovel the snow off of our driveway because the neighbor we contract with to plow our drivewayContinue reading "I Don’t Want to Play the Game"
My Dog Has a Spirit, Has a Name
SPOILER ALERT: This post is about the book, A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron. If you would like to read this book and don't want the ending spoiled, do not read any further. About a year ago, I noticed that iTunes had a list of movies that were audio described for the blind. IContinue reading "My Dog Has a Spirit, Has a Name"
A Vacation Full of Worry
Every week, I attend a women's bible study at our church with my mom, and the family friend who gave us the bird clock. Right now, we are studying the book of Matthew, and in the last bible study before Thanksgiving, we studied Chapter 6 which includes countless truths about life, but the speaker forContinue reading "A Vacation Full of Worry"
Please Take Off My Leash
I have needed to write a post like this for years, but have been hesitant to do so. Part of this hesitation has been due to the fact that I lacked the words to explain my feelings, and then I was afraid I lacked the maturity to express my feelings in a calm, intelligent andContinue reading "Please Take Off My Leash"
