I am an avid listener of books. I listen to more than I read. I spend 35min. a day listening to Audiobooks. It frustrates me that Apple has deals in place for music & music videos, now iTunes Radio too, television shows, movies, textbooks, and even ebooks, but not audiobooks.

Journals From The Journey
I must say that this post was inspired by a blog post of a co-worker. Connie Riddle‘s post “Home” stirred up much in my heart and mind and I had to blog. Home is where the heart is. Home is where you lay your head. These phrases and many more have been used to […] Read more

I very much enjoy the cyclical nature of my work at school. I am a 12 month employee, but each season brings different things. Summer is a slower time in may ways. This summer they are doing construction on the building (new roof), so there are no camps and no summer school on campus. […] Read more
Growing up in the South, I have not had interaction with the Amish. I have visited “Amish Country” in Pennsylvania once. But I have not done a lot of research or reading about the Amish people. I guess you would call me a typical “English” person. Well that changed this year. One of my favorite channels for […] Read more
