Loves a good church piano. Involuntarily explaining a dead husband & North Dakotan roots on the regular. Makes music as Lo Sy Lo. Makes dinner as ‘Mom-why-can't-you-like-cybergrind.’ Jesus always or nothing makes sense.

I think most of my teenage angst came from loving both “You’ve Got Mail” and Barnes & Noble
In my domestic life, I have a sincere hatred of cans that aren’t designed to stack. What are we even doing.

Hobbled into worship rehearsal this morning, VERY tired, and with the world’s largest canker sore - but ready to offer light backup vocal support and harmony to our guest worship leader, who - bless - came in assumming I was leading all the songs. 😅

90% of the time, when someone asks someone else out on a date on a tv show or movie, they hang up before discussing the when/where and this annoys me 100% of the time

Eavesdropping on a first date and they just started talking about their dads. I think it was nervous small talk. (At 19, your family has been almost your entire world—so an obvious default.) But it was so sweet and I thought about how much their dads would probably love to be eavesdropping with me.

The Spotify algorithm always wants me to listen to Grizzly Bear. And never have I wanted to listen to Grizzly Bear.

Got a new roof a few months ago.
In the middle of this snowy Michigan winter, sometimes when I pull into the driveway my heart just swells with ridiculous pride.
You’re doing it, Roof! You’re doing it! I knew you could do it!

Yesterday marked 10 yrs since my first husband’s death from cancer. But today marks 10 yrs of living after that—stepping out into a terrifying new world where everything, save the grace of God, had changed. No situation, relationship, or practicality was untouched. Feeling grateful to still be here.

I can’t stop reading or watching sci-fi. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It must mean something. The only other genre possibily luring me away from sci-fi right now is classical mythology.

Whenever we celebrate Christmas with my first set of in-laws, my Pentecostal preacher brother-in-law and I leave the fam celebrations to go to a midnight candlelight service around the corner at the Lutheran church in their small town (pop. 150). It’s my favorite service of the year.

I have a Pavlovian response to moderate amounts of snow that I can’t shake—I lose all motivation and sense of responsibility due to a childhood of epic Midwestern no-school snowdays every year or so. It’s like my brain sees a few inches of snow and is like, “Ope, nothin happening today, I guess!”
