Old . . . and Boring? I’ve grown up on classic literature, and in fact spent the last three years of high school reading only classic literature. But you know what? I still get caught in the lie that classic literature is naturally boring, long-winded, and is not worth the time and effort it takes to read through it. It’s not […]
Old Classics That Captured My Heart
July 2021 Reading Update
Another Shelf Raid Hey there my dear reading friends! Wouldn’t you know it, I checked back and it’s time for another reading update. Here’s the crazy thing . . . you remember I list the books I’m going to be reading next at the end of these posts?? Well . . . I did not read those books this last […]
Soundtracks for Warm Spring Days
Music in the Air I don’t know about you, but I have a soundtrack for just about every mood, season, emotion, etc. I’ve got so many playlists on my YouTube I sometimes worry they might take away my ability to save any more music! Since spring is officially here (and already on its way out the door in southwest Kansas), […]
Live and Learn
The Inspiration Continues I’ve been feeling inspired this week. Don’t ask me why, but I have suddenly had an expansion (and a large one at that) of my ideas for blog posts. My brain feels packed tight, so much so I’m not sure what to unpack first! Today I’m starting another new “segment” or “series” on the blog titled Live and […]
Monday Minute on May 24th
I’m Back Jack! Even after posting my March posting schedule update, I have failed miserably to have any semblance of order and organization here on the blog. I want to stop that buck here . . . hopefully! 😉 I’m making a calendar for myself that will have my blog schedule noted on it so that I can stop forgetting […]
Books I Regret Reading
I Thought It Would Be a Good Book . . . I haven’t read too many books that I regret . . . I don’t think. At least, in comparison to the entire list of books I’ve read, there are very few that I wouldn’t consider reading again. There are some books I’ve never finished reading. Those also are fairly […]
Don’t Let the Critics Steal the Show
Oscars for the Loss I’ve have heard so much hub-bub about the 2021 Oscars. I decided I would take a peek through the winners and I have no idea where any of those movies came from with the exception of Tenet, Soul, and Onward. Besides these, I recognized none of the names, none of the actors, none of the directors, none of the music. […]
Where Have I Been? + April 2021 Reading Update
Excuses, Excuses I’ve been gone from the blog for a grand total of two weeks. It’s quite possible no one even noticed. In fact, I’m sure no one noticed because I have no following whatsoever. I often feel like I’m just talking to myself here. Nevertheless, I felt like I should explain that due to Spring Break, a church retreat, […]
March Update
A Few Changes Hello everyone! It’s officially March and I’m making a few changes to my blog-posting schedule. It’s very minor, but I want to keep you up-to-date and in-the-loop. I’ve been posting a Monday Minute every week, but that will be reduced to once or twice a month. It will still be on Monday (obviously . . . cause […]
Monday Minute on February 22nd
Crazy Hair Day Hello again! It’s Monday and it’s time for another minute. This week I’m discussing something that I have way too much of: hair! It’s a little odd, but it’s what came to mind as I was thinking through what the share this week. I’ve got a thick head of hair. There is so much of it, I […]
