With the annoucement of PNW Information Services going away, I felt super nostalgic about all things PNW. So much has changed since I started work in the biology lab years ago and even since I transitioned into IT. I walked around campus in the afternoon and wandered through the Gyte Building which used to house […]

Stuart, Midi, and I spent Sunday afternoon at Gabis Arboretum: Purdue Northwest’s Planty Annex.

I usually have a song in mind when I’m writing and today it is this cover of “Tomorrow” from Haley Klinkhammer. For my very dear friend, you know who you are. If I could sing, I would sing this song for you! I bought “Pentecost with the Church Fathers: A Seven-Week Retreat on the Person […]
I’m continuing my blog post from yesterday, Holy Week: Holy Thursday and Good Friday. I woke up early on Holy Saturday with the idea of doing some more baking, but instead, I lay awake in bed and talked with God. When I say “talked with God,” what I mean is I prayed, listened, meditated, and […]
Well, here we are, Reader. We’ve made it through Holy Week, 2024. Happy Easter! Lord Jesus Christ is risen today! Alleluia! How was your Holy Week? Was it difficult for you too? In continuing with the last post, I’ve recorded the color of each day: Color My Days: Holy Week 2024 Continued Holy Thursday: The […]
When I art journaled, I cut out weeks in calendars and painted whatever color the day felt like on each day. For example: If I did that now, these are the colors I’d paint the last few days: Color My Days: Holy Week 2024 Chrism Mass On Tuesday, March 26, I attended the Chrism Mass […]
