100 Things About Me – #26
August 12, 2009 – 11:33 pm
This is one of my more personal “about me” posts, and it is a bit hard to explain, but I will try. I am recovering from tone deafness. It all began, when I noticed once that my dad talked to me in a tone that sounded like he was upset when I had done nothing [...]
100 Things About Me – #13
July 22, 2009 – 8:14 pm
Image by DanielJames via Flickr I used to be extremely shy! When I say “extremely” I mean it! When I was in early elementary school, I only talked to a hand full of people. Everyone probably thought I was mute, except for one friend and my teachers. Normally I would not answer roll call, but [...]
100 Things About Me – #6
July 14, 2009 – 8:06 pm
Growing up, I almost always shared a birthday party with my younger brother, Timothy. Our birthdays were 3 days apart, and it just made sense that we celebrate together. I don’t recall ever wishing I could have my own day without him. As a matter of fact, my 19th birthday was the hardest ever. This [...]
Tabetha
May 7, 2009 – 10:03 pm
Here is yet another poem written by my favorite man on earth and presented to me in November 1998. Tabetha Trees are swaying in the breeze, Breath of God that no one sees. All around us grandeurs stand. God is here. I see His hand. Brilliant colors everywhere, Excitement is in the air. Every step [...]
A Romantic Proposal
April 21, 2009 – 10:05 pm
The coolest thing about re-organizing is that you get to walk down memory lane as you uncover precious treasures. About two years ago, I shared with you the story of how Luke and I met and told you a bit of our story. One of those precious treasures I uncovered was a copy of Luke’s [...]
Journey Incomplete – Part 1
December 30, 2008 – 11:54 am
Have you ever walked down a road that was difficult, yet found yourself looking forward to walking down a similar road again? It almost sounds crazy, but I assure you it is not. Five years ago, I began walking down one of those roads, and I am still on that same journey. It began when [...]
Coming Soon: Journey Incomplete
December 28, 2008 – 10:35 pm
About five years ago, I began a journey that has proven to be the hardest one of my life…so far. I am sure it is not the hardest I will ever face. Oddly enough, I am not looking forward to something harder, yet I look forward to the opportunity. Curious yet? Good. Come back Tuesday [...]
My Favorite Homemade Gift
December 16, 2008 – 11:33 pm
At the end of a summer mission trip to Colorado I went on in 1998, all the church members from the church we were helping out gave my partner and me small gag gifts. One of my gifts was an eye pillow because it had inspired quite a bit of laughter between one of the [...]
In Love for 10 Years!
November 7, 2008 – 7:59 pm
Ten years ago today I declared my love to a man for the first time in my life! We were sitting at a picnic table in the grove at the University of Mississippi. He was obviously in love with me and told me so several weeks before I discovered that I felt the same about [...]
Willfully Chosen
October 25, 2008 – 9:14 pm
I just noticed tonight that my parents have been divorced for half my life! Weird! It seems like yesterday. I remember being so sure that they would get back together and be “the way they were.” I hung onto that hope until they both remarried. Now they have been apart for almost as long as [...]
Goin' Courtin'
October 17, 2008 – 10:19 pm
On October 17, 1998 while at a park with the Gedeons, Luke and I talked about and agreed to a courting relationship. It was a big day for us because we knew we were serious about the relationship and were looking for characteristics in each other that we would want in a spouse. And, of [...]

How Luke and I met
July 24, 2007 – 10:35 pm
When I was 12 years old, Bro. Mark Gedeon became the new pastor of our church, Springdale Free Will Baptist in Oxford, MS. He had six children, and because I was not used to having many kids at my small church, I attended church out of curiosity. I immediately became attached to the whole family, [...]
