I’ve always loved to write. Even from a young age, I would staple and tape my own paper books together. Besides story-telling though, I also enjoy writing poetry. Songs, I believe, are a form of poetry. They are poetry with music. The hymn ‘Amazing Grace,’ after all, did not always have music accompanying it. I…… Continue reading The Bird of Hope ~ A Journal Entry
Dancing with the Stars
Y’all. So. xD I have a very important blog post to make (right now): my favorite dances from Dancing with the Stars. In no specific order (you can thank my indecisive self for that :P), here are my favorite dances from Dancing with the Stars. James and Sharna’s Rumba Usually, I am not a fan…… Continue reading Dancing with the Stars
Brer Rabbit’s Trap
Note: For my Creative Writing class, we had to write our own story with the characters from the Brer Rabbit tales. It was a mighty fine summer day, that day that Brer Rabbit got it into his devious mind to play a prank on Brer Fox. He’d been think’in, he had, on this prank of…… Continue reading Brer Rabbit’s Trap
Journal Entry 5
Many years ago, my family and I went to the Red Wood Forest in San Francisco, California. It was beautiful. The trees were massive – reaching as far up into the sky as they possibly could in all of their natural finery. Despite the cold temperature (who knew it could be cold in the summer?),…… Continue reading Journal Entry 5
Lesson and a Fable
For my creative writing class, I had to write a fable with a lesson in it. One summer evening, a fluffy-tailed rabbit zipped around and around the trunk of a large tree. Her nose twitched in excitement and her paws bounced a million miles an hour. “Mrs. Bird!” cried out the young rabbit, in all…… Continue reading Lesson and a Fable
Journal Entry 3
When I first started homeschooling, I quickly learned that I had a problem: procrastination. At the private school, I had previously attended, every day there would be reminders of what was due and instant consequences if something was late. However, with homeschooling, that was not exactly the case. I had to remind myself of what…… Continue reading Journal Entry 3
Comfort Zone
Well. You know the moment when the Holy Spirit is speaking to you and you’re just like why did I come here/walk this way/etc self? That was me on Wednesday. Here’s the scenario: I was coming out of Walmart and was walking behind an older man who had several groceries in his cart. That’s when…… Continue reading Comfort Zone
Metaphors and the Bible
For my second creative writing assignment, we were tasked to come up with our own three metaphors – similar to Matthew 5:14-16 – and modernize the verses into our own words. As a comparison, here is the original: “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither…… Continue reading Metaphors and the Bible
Journal Entry
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people…… Continue reading Journal Entry
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
With October in full swing, my family was assertive in their desire for me to bake my pumpkin chocolate chip bread. And loving baked goods myself, I couldn’t very well refuse them! 😉 Note: I doubled the below measurements, since I was needing to make double the batch. I use the Better Homes and Gardens…… Continue reading Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
