My favorite, favorite, favorite thing about Facebook is the status feature, which allows you to tell all your “friends” what you’re doing, thinking, etc. at the moment. The only weird thing is that it automatically lists your statuses in third person, aka “Amy…” It also doesn’t recognize “Amy Beth” in my statuses which makes the [...]

I dropped by Katie’s apartment after work tonight only to find that groom-to-be Eric had already beat me there.  While we were hanging out, I asked Katie what she planned to do with her stuffed Eeyore that she sleeps with once she and Eric get married in 53 days.  She replied that it was going [...]

I headed off to Georgia on Sunday morning so I could go to Katie’s “hometown” wedding shower. One of the bridesmaids, Jenn, was able to go as well so she hopped in the passenger seat and we took off. I didn’t know Jenn that well before our drive other than a few conversations we’ve had [...]

Me, too. “Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God?  Or am I trying to please men?  If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galations 1:20, NIV

Hey, everybody. We’re making a big announcement for Starlite today and, although my blog is not linked to Starlite’s website or promoted through Starlite, I wanted to make sure you saw it, too.  I’m expecting a lot of traffic here at the blog over the next few days based on this announcement, so I’ll be [...]

Today is Saturday.  AND I LOVE IT. Here’s why: I’ve dedicated today to Getting-Junk-Done-Because-I’m-About-To-Be-Super-Busy-For-About-Six-Weeks-In-A-Row.  Most of the stuff I’m doing today is completely domestic — WHICH I LOVE — and, since I also love any and all forms of lists, I decided I would make today’s to-do list on my blog. This also will, um, [...]

Cousin Cate, Leslie Ruth and I had dinner at a Japanese restaurant tonight; sitting across from us was a guy named Jacob who has played in the band that has traveled with us for various Starlite events over the years.   As we were eating our dinner, Cate mentioned the night Jacob took the microphone at [...]

Yesterday afternoon, Cousin Cate and I went to an event that was raising awareness about the number of children in the world who are without shoes.  The idea was for various people from our community to walk a mile “in their shoes” — which, of course, meant we were to walk that mile completely barefoot. [...]

Four years ago, a guy named Harrison Keely arrived on the college campus I attended.  He was only one in several hundred freshmen students, but quickly became well known around campus for holding the door open for anyone (and I mean anyone) who crossed his path, sunshine or rain.  Some students mocked him, but Harrison [...]

I’m happy to report that Cousin Cate and her ankle are on the mend though she remains on the couch except for a little jaunt we took in my car a couple nights ago. And yes, she did the bunny hop all the way to my passenger side door. And yes, I laughed. Well, until [...]
