    We Want It Now God

    We want it now God. Healing for our loved ones. Not in a little while longer. It’s already been too long. They need energy for work. To earn a living. To pay the medical bills and restock the drained savings account. Energy to play with their children. They want to…

    You’re Middle Age When…My Waistline

    Your weight is the same that it has been for 10 years, but suddenly you need the next size up in pants!? Stuff shifts, people. There are worse things in life for sure, but it’s a bummer. If you read my previous post, I’m protesting the next size up by…

    🍺The Making of a Barrel🍺

  • The Long Room in Dublin, Ireland

    As part of the Trinity College expedition in Dublin, we walked through the highly impressive Long Room. While I thoroughly enjoyed the first edition books that I told you about at the castle (HERE), this was a vast college and beyond what I could have imagined as a book lover.…

    The Book of Kells🇮🇪

    Moving on to Ireland, one of our first stops was to visit The Book of Kells at Trinity College in Dublin. We learned that this book contains the four gospels, created by monks in the 9th century. Historians appear to struggle with where exactly it was created but believe locations…
