college station (part 2 of ??)

So far, exactly 21 days into my epic self-actualizating journey, I’ve made it 2.75 hours South of Dallas. At this rate I won’t see Canada for another 231 days or so.
For those of you who’ve had more than two or three conversations with me, it should come as no surprise that I paid the Hendrick [...]

this is nice

I really think that living in a big city that forfeits you the ability of seeing sunsets on a regular basis is unhealthy. I’ve seen more beautiful sunsets in the past 10 days of being in College Station than I did my entire year in Dallas. They are so refreshing. In the midst of this [...]

book review vol. thirteen: A Field Guide to Evangelicals and Their Habitat

I came across this book at a Dallas area Half Price Books I visited with a friend. I had no intentions of leaving the store having made a purchase, but upon thumbing through this book I thought it worthy of my $6.47. At first, second, and possibly third glance, I wasn’t sure how to go [...]

Waco, TX

The first stop of many on my current journey was all of an hour and half due south of Dallas. Many people only know Waco as the city where Baylor University is and the place that 35 and Highway 6 meet. Though that comes close to summing up the entirety of the city, there is [...]

good to go

If the past few days are any indication of how the rest of my journey will be, then I’m sad to say these trip updates will occur a lot less often than I’d like. However, so long as I’m able to find a Panera Bread in any given town, I’ll be all set. Thank you [...]

book review vol. twelve: Serve God Save the Planet

I bought this book after it was brought to my attention with a high recommendation from Allen Duty. You may recall the title from the review on the Duty’s blog. Well now I’ve completed the book and it’s my turn to give my two cents.
There is no question that at this point in history, the [...]

year in review: the Dallas year

I’ve been thinking about how I wanted to approach this post for a while. I decided I’d go with a couple explanatory sentences, followed by a couple introductory sentences, followed by a list of things I’ve learned this past year in Dallas, and conclude with some more sentences, only they won’t be explanatory or introductory, [...]

I love this man

So much has happened since my last post. I should have posted at least two posts between that one and this one, but our internet went out for a while. So I’ve spent the past three or four hours sitting at my machine playing catch up. 225 post labels, 22 emails, 10 blogs, 5 facebook/myspace [...]
