In July I sat down to say that life was in the process of changing and I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with that information. Life is still changing, except now I am even more unsure of what I want to do about it. So, that’s that. Here is a quick recap [...]
Hello. Here I am again. It’s been a while. I would be lying if I said I missed you, but I would also be lying if I said I didn’t. When I last posted in August, I was a little burnt out. And by a little, I mean a lot. I think it was healthy [...]
Another summer has come to a close. No part of me is ready to go back to school but here I am, going back to school. I know I like to say this a lot but I learned a lot these past three months. It was definitely three short months filled with things I will never [...]
Last week was spent watching countless episodes of The Office, lying on the beach for hours, kayaking and kayaking and kayaking, looking at countless numbers of jellyfish, driving over twenty minutes to get ice cream every night, feeding fish in a pond for over an hour without losing amusement, and consuming far too many potato [...]
I spent last week at Mo Ranch in the beautiful hill country of Hunt, TX. And it was radically awesome. I got a killer bruise on my right thigh from accidentally falling off the paddle board that was later aggressively taken from me and my friends. I lost my prayer journal full of many notes [...]
I left for one month. Here's what happened. Jordan and I spent one weekend in the middle of East Texas with trees so tall the power lines seemed tiny. Friday the 13th, the first night away, we got stuck in a hail storm with the power out in the middle of a cabin. So it's [...]
2017 was hard. I fell far too many times. My body fought against itself so deeply that I couldn’t do anything but let it fight. I missed a lot of sacred moments. Bad things happened to good people, and that angered me. But, I also laughed so hard that I must have added another five [...]
This past weekend, 4/5 of the Landis family reunited with the other 1/5. Although I wish we could have spent more time laughing and jumping through the streets together, I am glad we were able to spend a day with the boy who chased after his dreams back in August. I decided to post a [...]
Summer has finally come to a close. I wish I could have another three months to try to turn my pale skin into a tanner shade, or to sleep in way too late. I would be lying if I told you that I was in any form ready for the school year to start. I [...]
Theologians talk about how there are “thin spaces” in the world where heaven and Earth get a little bit closer. And Montreat is definitely one of those places. I recently had the opportunity to spend a whole week in a place full of God’s love, grace, and mercy. This summer, my church decided to go [...]
