Pentecost is the day of love

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Well here we are… the semester has ended (thankfully) and my hiking trip with my dad and sister was GREAT! I’m finishing my last few days working in the admissions office before I start my summer internship. (More on that on Jen’s blog.)

While I was blog-surfing today, I came across this wonderfully prayerful reflection on Pentecost that I wish to share with you all. Peace!

Pentecost is the day of love

Happy Summer to all!!!

It sounded like a good idea at the time

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

It sounded like a good idea back in January when my dad, sister, and I planned a hiking trip. We’ve hiked Mt. LeConte on close to a dozen occasions since I was a freshman in high school. But lately I’ve been missing the mountains and lamenting the fact that my sister and dad can drop everything to go on a hike whenever they want (not that they do, but still).

So at the start of the semester, we picked the weekend before exams for me to fly home. I thought “Well, if I have it on my calendar this far in advance, I’ll have to get my act in gear and plan ahead.” Well, that time has arrived–and I haven’t planned ahead the way I would have liked to. Oh well, I’m still super-stoked. Check out where we’ll be staying!!!

Perhaps I’ll post pictures when I return… and when I finish the last few papers of the semester!!!!!!!!
