Afternoon Distraction : Hosea 10:12

So I did an interview with Bible Gateway a little bit ago about a Bible verse I am trying to understand. Though I rarely (never) am my own afternoon distraction, I wanted to share this with you.

Bloom Conference 2013

I’m going to do my best to recap this for you, but to be fair, I’m still a little speechless over the whole thing. I’m in total withdrawal after leaving my new ‘ohana [family] in Honolulu. It doesn’t happen often that I speak at a conference and feel like I never want to leave. Maybe

Afternoon Distraction : Head To My Heart

I think it is fair to call Elenowen my favorite band right now. [Just don’t tell Mumford & Sons, I’m sure it would hurt their feelings.] Elenowen has been my constant companions as I’ve written books this year. This song plays in my mind a lot.

Afternoon Distraction : The Real Alice

Aloha.

I would never kid you about something this serious. I’m flying to Hawaii today. It’s a little weird to go to Hawaii fourteen days before my next book is due because, you know, words. I need to type a lot of them this week. So it’s not like a pure vacay. But let’s be serious-
