New Experience #3 - Laser Hair Removal
For any guy who reads this and doesn’t already know, most women have some unwanted hair somewhere other than their legs. Many of us give up valuable time and sometimes experience pain to rid ourselves of this hair. For a long time, I never really wanted to talk about it because it made me uncomfortable and feel like I’m not a very good female. But thanks to my April’s honesty...
Abortion
Abortion has come up in my life a lot lately. I read an article about it. The new president decided America should help fund overseas abortions. And tonight as I was driving home, I heard a lady on the radio talking about abortion.
I try to read the UNCG student paper online regularly. I do this for a few reasons. One reason is because I work with students on that campus and spend a...
Wisdom from China
Brother Yun was part of the early house church movement in China. His story is recorded in The Heavenly Man, which I read this summer while in Clearwater. It’s amazing to read of the way the Lord has worked in his life - from providing him a Bible to freeing him from prison. I just finished reading Living Water which contains the text from his teachings throughout the West. Because of...

New Experience #2 - Locks of Love
I lost 10 inches of hair today!! After growing out my hair for over a year, I finally cut it off today to donate to Locks of Love. This all began when I had gone a bit longer than usual without a haircut. People kept asking if I was going to grow it out and saying they wanted to see what it looked like long. Most of the people that I’m around now had never seen it very long because...
Extra! Extra! - Summer Project
Summer Project is one of my very favorite things that Campus Crusade offers students! So, you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that the most recent issue of Worldwide Challenge, Campus Crusade’s magazine that shares what the Lord is doing all over the world, had a special section all about Summer Project.
What is Summer Project? It’s a mission opportunity for students...

New Experience #1 - Netflix
Netflix is not really that odd of an experience, but it is a first for me. Just in case you don’t know, Netflix is a service where you can create a list of movies (as well as seasons of some Tv shows) that you’d like to watch. The service mails you DVDs of your choice and you have an unlimited amount of time to watch them and return them. When you return one, another is sent. So, I...
Thirty On The Way to 30
As of January 1st, I have entered the last year of my 20s. Yeppers, I am now 29. And I’ve heard that this year is actually harder than 30 because you spend the whole time knowing that 30 is right around the corner. So, in an effort to make the last year of my 20s more fun (and because I was inspired by April’s year of new experiences), 2009 is going to be my year of “Thirty...
