Much to our surprise and delight, Adam and I are spending the fourth of July in Mexico - an appropriate statement of the the level of our patriotism at the moment. Last week in San Jose we met up with Erin Dunigan who is a Princeton grad who was writing for the Presbyterian Outlook, which [...]

(disclaimer: Adam and I are working for an Episcopal church plant this summer and part of our responsibility is to prepare and send out their weekly email newsletter, which always includes a reflection.

Well. It’s Sunday now and my paper is due tomorrow and I’m thinking I’m going to start writing just as soon as I post this. So much for my grand plan to write it before the weekend. But after that sad afternoon of not knowing what to do with myself, probably just as well; I [...]

It’s true that I am working a no-brainer job in an office this summer that I could have done without either of the two degrees I’ve worked so hard for; but do not despair, I have very successful friends, including Jina, who is currently writing for Christian Science Monitor.

Life in Jersey has been quite busy, at least for my husband. We moved in almost two weeks ago, unpacked and set-up house in four days, had our first anniversary the next day, and then Adam started CPE the next day. And I, well, I read my book, ran errands, reorganized a few things, took [...]
