Mmm, my beautiful Washington. :-) I just love this view- who gets to say this is the view from their driveway? :-)
Weekends of Woe
14 years ago
Musings of a lover of Jesus, literature, coffee, horses, music, vintage trinkets, and all things good, true, and beautiful.
Blogs I Read
About Me
- Michal
- My goal is to find a way to unite journalism with fighting human trafficking, and to live missionally. That's harder than it sounds! But God has blessed me richly and provided everything I need for life and godliness. I love my family, my friends, horses, singing, coffee, cooking, music, and books. And, most of all, I want to be like Jesus.
Things I Love Right Now:
- Mushrooms! I'm like a hobbit. Mushrooms are my favorite.
- Asics running shoes. I'm trying to be a runner.
- French manicures. They're so classy! But seriously, make me stop trying to do my own.
- Wedgewood dishes. I got an eleven-piece assortment of matching vintage plates, bowls, and mugs the other day- in blue and white!- and ever since then I've wanted more.
- Horse Noses. Must I explain, really? I especially miss them when I'm gone.
- Cappuccinos. Ever since I discovered cappuccinos with meals, I can't help myself.
Books i'm Reading Now
- Real Christianity, by William Wilberforce. His only book, a defense of the abolitionist movement; and a defense of real, radical, missional faith.
- Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh. I might always be reading it, it's so good. I love anti-modernists.
- How's Moving Castle. I know I maybe should branch out, since I've read this three times. But it's too funny.
- Peter Pan, by James Barrie- it's so good! And not even a childrens' book.
- Total Church- need to get my own copy, since I picked up Joey's copy in Holland and don't have my own!
