  • So, You Love a Student Doctor…

    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. Sometimes (ok, often times…) it’s the family and friends that get the brunt of it. At the beginning of the school year, I posted 10 Practical…

  • On the Facebook Thankfulness

    I’ve never been big on the Facebook status or Twitter trends. “Like this if….” Play by plays of whatever hit show, debate, game, etc. is on at the moment are usually more frustrating than exciting…especially when it’s from the same person. You know the type. For some reason, this year, the 30 days of Thankfulness…

  • Half-Way Gone

    Update Time!!! We’ve been getting more information about the trip to Nicaragua through DO Care International, and I’m excited about all of the progress we’ve been making! Those of us traveling from Tulsa will each be provided with a large bag of documented medications and necessary medial equipment to take with us. I love that…

  • My Take: ‘I’m spiritual but not religious’ is a cop-out

  • A Quick Answer to The Problem with Christian Universities

    It’s amazing how it seems that life slows down for a bit, you get settled into a new routine, and God shakes it all up again. And yet, when you follow the call that He has given you, He brings peace and confirmation amidst the resistance. The other day, we went to see Hillsong and…

  • “I’m Sorry” Does Not Cure Cancer

    Very well written. Full of good thoughts from a genuinely good heart. Check it out, especially for those of us on this healthcare journey…

  • An Adventure in Nicaragua

    At a very young age (like age 5), I decided that I wanted to travel and help people. I was going to be a veterinarian in Africa. As we can see, that is not exactly how life played out. We don’t even own a dog. When I was about 13, I worked in a vet’s…

  • Libya

    Lately the news has been flooded with reports of riots and the storming of embassies, particularly in the Middle East. Questions of whether to continue or withhold aid are taking the forefront of the talks. And whatever your political, religious, or personal stance is, we must remember something. Just because a select group committed a…

  • Standing at Attention

    Standing at Attention

    I’ve never been in the military. The only time I ever really stood at attention was for marching band. I was in color guard, so I guess I never stood at a real attention—3rd position is a little weak for that. I was a freshman. The rest of us were already on the concrete practice…
