Vigilante

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Josiah stood outside the convenience store, sucking on a Tootsie Pop while his trenchant flapped in the breeze. A desperate looking man headed toward the establishment door, eyes darting. Josiah deliberately kept his face forward and his eyes looking in a different direction. He watched the man from his peripheral vision. [...]

Deeper Water by Robert Whitlow

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

File Under: Christian – Fiction – Law
I found Deeper Water to be an unexpectedly interesting book about a young woman from a dedicated Christian home. She is a law student going to the big city for an internship. Since she’s a conservative Christian from a small town, life gets very different for her.
This [...]

GRE Results

Family Friendly

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

I have actually been spending a lot of time with my family for the past few months. This is a change for me.
