God of Love
Ok. I promise that this blog is not only going to be about the CD. BUT, it’s wonderful, and I love bragging on my husband. Deal with it 🙂 Plus, for those of you that I only know in the blogging world, this is what’s going on! You would think that I would be sick…

So, You Love a Student Doctor…
You are the few. The chosen. Perhaps the disillusioned. But without you, we couldn’t make it. Medicine is a tough road to travel and not just for the student.

The Problem with Christian Universities
I knew how many rules I was subjecting myself to when I decided to attend ORU. Curfews, no drinking, and for a while, nothing less than slacks in class. I loved it. I was 18 and ready to conquer the world. Every chapel was a face-to-face meeting with God surrounded by hundreds of others pointed…

10 Practical Tips for Your First Year of Medical School
Take EVERYONE’s advice with a grain of salt. – Your mom means well, your friends mean well, your mentors mean well, even I mean well. But even the people who have been there before you are—well—different people. They have different priorities, responsibilities, goals, and bents. So seek advice, but then craft a plan that is…

Doing It Myself: Words of Love
Michael and I are having our 3rd summer marriage/wedding anniversary celebration. Apparently, people who have blazed the marriage trail before us were right. Year 3 can be a bit of a hill. They say year 7 comes with some “transitioning”, too. So, we have taken some great advice, and are (again) reading “The 5 Love…
