No Other Refuge: Be a Doer Who Acts!
http://no-other-refuge.blogspot.com/2013/10/be-doer-who-acts.html
Trust in Him at all times, oh People; Pour out your heart before Him for God is a refuge for us." Psalm 62:8. Wednesday, October 23, 2013. Be a Doer Who Acts! Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. Did my anger produce any fruit in my son or my self?

The Sky's Still Blue. Oh the clouds open up above, through my window. Sunday, June 23, 2013. Or, Why I’m Fed Up With the. This blog post has been percolating in my subconscious for several years, and the summer solstice brought it to the forefront. I’m not going to tackle “The Bikini Question” head-on, but rather examine some aspects of modesty that aren’t talked about as much. In many ways this is a letter to my younger self, who wondered and worried about this so much. Bathing suit is modest? Let’...

The Sky's Still Blue: October 2012
http://theskystillblue.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
The Sky's Still Blue. Oh the clouds open up above, through my window. Friday, October 26, 2012. I'd like to talk about books. Because books have shaped me. Books have grown me up. Books are a road-map of where I've been, and of where I've dreamed of going. So I'm going to slowly, quietly examine the books that loom large to me. I will write love letters to the books I love best. Starting with Mrs Miniver. I'm not sure why I picked up Mrs Miniver. I fell in love. I come away looking at my world and my peo...

The Sky's Still Blue. Oh the clouds open up above, through my window. Friday, May 03, 2013. Dreamcast: The Scarlet Pimpernel. Let's take a moment to enter an alternate universe where I am the casting director. Notice that I said the. Because in this alternate universe, I am the only person in charge of casting movies that I want to see. And just at the moment, in this alternate universe, I am casting The Scarlet Pimpernel. Percival Blakeney: Ioan Gruffudd. Marguerite Blakeney: Natalie Dormer. I didn't kn...

The Sky's Still Blue: Things I Don't Understand #1
http://theskystillblue.blogspot.com/2011/11/things-i-dont-understand-1.html
The Sky's Still Blue. Oh the clouds open up above, through my window. Friday, November 25, 2011. Things I Don't Understand #1. Lol i'm cooler than you. What is the appeal of this? I mean really. Most of the popular ones look like 3D glasses with the lenses taken out. They're meant for dress-up. Or you know, seeing better and stuff. I know glasses are theoretically supposed to make you look smarter, and don't get me wrong, I love a good pair of specs. But these, these pieces of plastic. The Places I Go an...

The Sky's Still Blue. Oh the clouds open up above, through my window. Tuesday, January 01, 2013. I May Have Met Mr Collins IRL. Not too long ago I went to a contra dance at State. Once upon a time, I went with a a big group of people so it was quite the social event, but in later years that group has dwindled and often I go alone. When that happens, I like to bring a book to read during the twenty-minute intermission because a) I don't want to talk to anybody and b) books are awesome. In that moment, tim...

The Sky's Still Blue. Oh the clouds open up above, through my window. Sunday, December 23, 2012. The Ongoing Quest for the Perfect Cardie. Today I unironically bought a literal boyfriend cardigan. meaning it's literally a cardigan for a man, as in I pretended to have a small boyfriend for whom I was buying a cardigan when in reality I was just buying a man's cardigan for myself. The V-neck comes up really high, apparently guys don't like showing off their cleavage? The sleeves are made to. Trust in Him a...

The Sky's Still Blue. Oh the clouds open up above, through my window. Wednesday, December 07, 2011. I am standing in line at the New Hill post office, minding my own business. I have two books in my arms because I need to buy a box to ship them in. I hear the bells on the door jingle, but don't give it much thought. You have the most BEAUTiful hayer," comes a hushed and happy voice. Oh, thank you," I say, turning around to see an old woman, wrapped head to toe in scarves, jackets, socks and boots. Slot, ...
