The Magic of a New Year
When I was a kid, I thought that New Year’s was somehow magical. I imagined that somehow, at midnight, everything was wiped clean and we all miraculously got a clean slate with which to start the next year. The parties and celebrations seemed to lend credence to that – why else would we be celebrating? Also, staying up until midnight – kind of a big deal when your bedtime is usually 8:30!

Singing to God, preaching to my soul
Well, it’s kind of a yucky morning out there. It’s cold, the rain turned into snow overnight, and it’s one of those days where my warm cozy bed is pretty inviting. In fact, the duvet didn’t want to let me get up and kept calling me back for snuggles.

Books on the Go
Since moving to Rochester, I have the longest commute that I’ve ever had. It’s typically about 30 minutes in the morning, sometimes a little bit longer at night or in the winter. If it snows, I can plan on anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour. Having always had ridiculously short drives to work, I’ve never had the question of what to do while going to work – listening to KLOVE or a good classical station for 5 to 15 minutes is a no-brainer. However, with a longer drive on my hands now, I quickly wanted a little bit more out of my drive to and from the office each day. What to do? [Read more…] about Books on the Go
