An Introduction

I am a book nerd. Have been since forever. So I decided to take my vast knowledge of excellent reading material, and make some of it known to the world. Thus, here I am. At this point in time, I plan to post reviews/recommendations/general fangirl rants about books. I shall try to avoid spoilers. Maybe people will actually use this. Maybe it'll just be me keeping track of all the books I read. No matter. If you're reading this, please enjoy.

CPH Internship Week #8: Of Pasta and PowerPoints

My time at CPH has flown by and I now only have one week left in St. Louis! I had a lot of fun this past week, though. As the VBS intern, a lot of my job has consisted of updating and changing files for next year's VBS, Miraculous Mission . I got really good at using the "find and replace" tool in Word! However, this week I got to do more with creating original files and content. Adele and I have been working on creating the PowerPoints for the song lyrics and the opening and closing sessions of VBS. This required a lot of waiting for various art files, waiting to make sure the song lyrics were proofread, and waiting for InDesign to export files. After this week, I could go years without using InDesign again and I would be happy! But really, it's been so cool to put together something that I know will be used by churches next summer. Heck, I'll be using it! When we were exporting lyrics for what felt like the thousandth time, Adele and I reminded each other about...

CPH Internship Week #7: Of Blogs and Busy-ness

Oh what a week it was! After taking the week of July 4th off to visit home, it was decidedly more difficult to get back in the swing of things at CPH, but it was a great week nonetheless! In terms of what I was working on day to day, most of this week was spent writing a few blog posts for the CPH VBS website. I got to collaborate on these posts with my fellow intern, Adele, which made it an even cooler project. Our first post is already up, if you would like to check it out! I'll put a link at the bottom of this post. We've also been working on creating PowerPoints, PDFs, and other documents that will be a part of next year's VBS, Miraculous Mission . It has been so amazing to work on this VBS and know that churches all across the country will use it next year, including my home church! It is going to be a fantastic way to share Christ's love with kids, and I'm a part of it! I just really love this job. Most of the excitement this week came in the form of activi...

It's Not the Best Christmas Ever

Every time I turn on the radio or the TV, all the ads scream variations on the same thing: " Make this the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER! " We all simply MUST have that new piece of tech or toy for the kids or perfectly quirky little object to put on a shelf. Otherwise, how could we possibly have the " BEST CHRISTMAS EVER "? But here's the deal, people. Come on, lean in close. Closer! I'll whisper it in your ear. The best Christmas ever already happened . Whaaaat? I know, it's crazy. Surely having a bigger tree and more lights and more eggnog can make this year  the best Christmas ever? But alas. There is no way that we could ever, ever top the real, true Best Christmas Ever. Could it have been the year that you got that bike you really wanted as a kid? Or the year your family vacation went perfectly? What about last year, when everyone liked the gifts you got them? Nope. The Best Christmas Ever, the one we can never top, took place over 2000 years ago. A car...
