Before it could fall to its hot, fire-induced death, I whisked the stick away and carefully scraped the marshmallow onto the graham cracker square laden with delicious chocolate. As I delicately placed the camping creation onto my lips, the background noise of the wind and not-so-spooky stories calmed me as I watched the flames lick at the logs, slowly transforming them into ashes and embers. Everything was too perfect. I sat at the picnic table, and wondered if this was compensation for the last camping trip my family took, nearly a decade ago.…

It was my at the time 8 year old brother, 2 year old sister and I waving goodbye to mommy on Monday September 10th 2001.

We approached our seats and there was no doubt that I had to let my little brother have the window seat.…

    Have you ever heard the term home is where the heart is? In the summer after my freshman year, I found this to be true. I encountered experiences that illuminated the value of time spent with family and how this creates a sense of home. My family and a few members of my congregation went on a mission trip to Duluth and Superior. We did a variety of things such as helping people in hunger stricken areas, working and arranging clothes in a woman’s shelter, and spending time with kids at Superior’s Boy’s…

Well, that reminds me of the time when my mom said “Promise to come straight home from school, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars, come straight home right after school, and make sure you put on a helmet”. I know that I will never break a promise to my mom again. It was a hot summer day after school.…
