The Zoo: A Great Place to Learn
The zoo. A great place to learn about animals, parenting styles, and why to avoid high priced food. Hear me out – I love the zoo.

There is an artist I have been listening to a lot lately… and by a lot, I mean every day and multiple times an hour. His name is Josh Garrels, and he is great. But of the songs that I have had on repeat, there is one that takes the cake. It’s called Farther Along. … Read more

God – He works in mysterious ways. Sometimes I think that mystery is a little more ironic, the kind of mystery that thinks, “I never imagined that would come together like that.” But in other times – in times like now, for me – that mystery is dark, lonesome, and hard to swallow. “And we … Read more
On Becoming An Adult: What About Love
What about love. Not a question. Don’t read that like a question. Just read it. What about love… I had to think over this topic for a speech a did a few days ago in class, and was surprised to find that I learned something new about an extremely well known verse . It reads as … Read more

I always liked this song by the artist Caitlin Rose. The lyrics following are not the entire song mind you – but it gets the point across. The song is titled “Things Change”: I ain’t got a whole lotta money I ain’t got a whole latta time So I’m writing you here This letter dear … Read more
