Life through Joy's Eyes.
I had my priorities pretty straight as a kid. Sleep often, eat well, and scream frequently - just for good measure. But my mother was also very thoughtful when it came to what we ate and drank. Admittedly so, I got a little out of hand when too much sugar was in my system. For ...
If you read my last post, talking points, this is the post you’ve been waiting for. The burning question you’ve had since last Saturday will now find resolution. Welcome to the danger zone. Dun dun dunnnnnnnnn. (Pardon my rusty screenplay writing...this’ll just have to do) Scene 1 - INTERIOR: Dark studio FADE UP: Head to ...
This is another gem from my freshman year at Oral Roberts University. Things to know: 1. ORU - Oral Roberts University. 2. Hannah and Clarissa - my neighbors. 3. WD-40 - the almighty spray oil of de-squeakerness. 4. Jess - my neighbor two doors down. The one I got into trouble with often. 5. Alcove ...
It's time for another college throwback! This is how I began the journey of writing weekly college updates. In my quirky innocence, this story happened to me and is still one of my favorite college memories. Things to know: 1. Kaley and I enjoyed being floor mates my freshman year at ORU. She jumped on ...

It could advertise anything...so naturally, in the face of my recent saga with lawn gnomes, I created an ad for "The Lawn Gnome Society." It only makes sense, right? So now, here is that ad, resurrected ...
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take a walk with my friend Donna. It has been a while since I have simply taken the time to slow down and just walk. I have forgotten what quality conversation comes when two people go for a walk. Back when I was at ORU, my first year as ...
When I posted this back in September of 2007, I got in some trouble with mom. Apparently, I decided to write about the near-death experience that I had just had before calling mom...so she found out about the whole ordeal through my writing. As is customary, I didn't provide the details she needed to know ...
Last week, I was chatting with my friend Kelly about college. A great memory came up from sophomore year, while I was in Survey of Old Testament class. Please join me for today's edition of Early Morning Reminiscence - complete with fantastic cliches. It is around lunchtime on the Oral Roberts University campus, the hero ...

I hope you enjoy the insanity! ...
