Father Elijah: the Apocalypse is quite a masterpiece. It is of a time, though it was written more than 25 years ago, and the world has changed immensely since its publication. At the heart of this novel is a priest whose life journey launches him into a journey larger than himself. The novel references Lord … Continue reading A Costly Journey | Quote Series
Gentle readers, this weekend I sat down and read 400 pages while sitting on the couch. It feels like it’s been a while since I had a slow weekend morning without running errands or plans.

There’s been lots of photos taken, fun songs like Congratulations by Post Malone, scrambling to find friends in the midst of crowds full of families and students, and the like. I didn’t think it was … Continue reading I graduated-columbia class of 2024!
The firefly only shines when on the wing, So it is with us--when we stop, we darken. Through the gift to readers that is Libby, I randomly decided to start reading At Home in Mitford in September of 2022. It was one of the best reading decisions I’ve ever made.

I know I haven’t been the best at sharing my Columbia life, but I did want to share the last day of fall semester with you. Fall semester was hard, and was super super busy, but I’m glad it’s time to rest and relax (even while working on my Master’s project). Friday December 15, 2023 … Continue reading Last day of fall semester | columbia chronicles
