Reading and writing through time and space.
Good morning, friends! How are we finding ourselves on this Memorial Day? Oh, and also...did you notice the new theme going on? As a writer, I've been investing a lot into my online presence lately, and I thought it was due time for an upgrade on this site. How do we feel about it? I'm … Continue reading A Theology of Heaven and Hell: Contrapasso in Dante’s “Inferno” and “The Great Divorce”
Lots of saint-spammy 😉 posts are in the works, my readers, but before I post my first one, I have a special something to write about. Guess what? I just finished Doctor Who series 5! Well, last week I did. And let me say that it was brilliant. 😉 But that last two-parter. "The Pandorica Opens/The Big … Continue reading A Study in Doctor Who: The Spirit of Man and the Heart of God
When I say multi-racial, I mean multi-racial. Not one, not two, but three different cultures make up me. Some take up more space in my little seventeen-year-old self than others, but hey, they are all equally dear to me, and over the years, I've learned not to be ashamed of being a melting pot of … Continue reading Being Multi-Racial: What I’ve Learned and Why I Love It (as told in gifs)
Alrighty, folks! Here 'tis...yet another chapter. This is my first self-edited draft of chapter three. I'm going through the entire story with Eva, over at the amazing blog Coffee, Classics, and Craziness, and she's beta reading/editing the story for me, which is helping tremendously. Thanks, Eva! Be sure to check out her blog, friends. I'll be … Continue reading Chapter Three from a So-far Untitled “Adlock” Story

I will get those vacation snippets uploaded soon enough, cross my heart, but for now, I thought I'd … Continue reading Chapter One From a So-far Untitled “Adlock” Story
Hello, my lovelies! I'm writing this from a lovely little flat - from my bedroom in a flat in Shepherd's Bush, London. This is a rather poor quality photo from my Instagram story. Sorry, guys. I can tell you that I'm having a marvelous time here in England's capitol city. It's busy. Very busy. It … Continue reading A Theological Ramble Concerning Worship and My Trip to Saint Paul’s Cathedral
I love theology. I always have, and I always will. There's just something about studying Greek words, doing apologetics, and writing about doctrine that gets me so excited. Like I've said in past posts, it really was a difficult decision to choose English Literature over Theology for my major. Nevertheless, I have still had the … Continue reading Kénōsis: A Theology for Holy Week
*Sherlock Se. 2 Ep. 1 Spoiler Warning* To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little … Continue reading “…Let Me be Vulnerable.”
Happy second week of January, everyone! I'm not sure if that's actually a thing, but it is now. School starts on Monday, and I'm pretty sad that the break I had so looked forward to a month ago is already coming to a close. School is back. 🙄 It's not that I don't like school. … Continue reading The Relevance of “The Prodigal Son”
The time is here, my friends! It is officially the very first week of 2019. 2018 shall always ring true as one of the greatest years in my memory, and I shall never dare to forget everything it taught me. Seeing as it is the first week of 2019, I thought it fitting to write … Continue reading Literature Spotlight: North and South
