Before I start, let me say that I fully acknowledge and appreciate the convenience and portability that e-books offer. They greatly facilitate the ability to read anywhere, anytime, since almost everyone nowadays has e-book capability on their smart phones. Yet even though I have occasionally taken advantage of the nifty invention called e-books, I have … Continue reading 10 Reasons Why Paper Books are Better Than E-Books

Happy New Years’ Everyone!
I suppose that if I were a truly accomplished blogger, I would have written this post last night! But New Years' Day is surely just as special as New Years' Eve, don't you think? This past year has been such a blur of new experiences that last night, I actually had a hard time remembering … Continue reading Happy New Years’ Everyone!
Cups of Tea Big Enough and Books Long Enough
C.S. Lewis once said, "You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."I have always agreed with Lewis about the books, but I've always bemoaned the fact that I couldn't join him in his love of tea. After all, it's so British! For a girl who's enamored … Continue reading Cups of Tea Big Enough and Books Long Enough

Interview
What are some of the most important things you've learned from having a job of your own? God has used this new job of mine to teach me tons of life-lessons.

I’m Going On An Adventure!
I admit it. I'm a hobbit. I love my home, my hobbit hole, and I almost never want to leave it. I rather begrudgingly go on social calls or to parties, and keep glancing at the clock when I do. Home is my school, my work, my sanctuary. And I am sure that for most … Continue reading I’m Going On An Adventure!
