BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING. The other day, I was hanging out on Facebook, and I saw this… [Read more…]

not that kind of girl

I just read Not That Kind of Girl by Siobhan Vivian.  Because of this, I now know how to pronounce the name Siobhan.  (I looked it up.  It’s Irish, pronounced “Sha-von.”) I think the best way to start this off is with a list. Cast of characters: Natalie Sterling: protag, narrator, likes to be in… [Read more…]

Lover's Dictonary

OMG!  Is MC finally writing a new review?! The answer to that question is, why yes, yes I am.  IN FACT, I’m writing a few all at once because while I haven’t written anything since I got home from Haiti at the end of November, I have been reading quite a bit, and I’m almost… [Read more…]

We got home two days ago.  Mary got sick on the plane home, and today I had a minor fever and felt a little hazy all day.  We don’t know what we brought home, but it doesn’t seem to be too serious.  Please pray for us to rest and recover!  While all our friends got… [Read more…]

Hi my friends!  Thank you for your prayers for Rudy.  This morning at 2:37 a.m. Jesus took Rudy home. We went to the hospital yesterday morning to check in on Rudy, and the doctor was there so we were able to ask her questions about his condition and treatment.  Throughout this week he has continually… [Read more…]

Hi my friends!  Happy Thanksgiving! Even though they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Haiti, they wanted to make the day special for us.  Hence, our feast for lunch: Angie’s sister sent Mary some gourds, Thanksgiving decorations and flatware, and even a scented flameless candle, which we set up on the front porch for our feast.  In… [Read more…]
