Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces, calling out the best of who we are. It comes in small inspirations. It comes in loving community. It comes in helping a soul find its worth. I want to add to the beauty, to tell a better story. I want to shine with the light that's burning up inside. This is grace, an invitation to be beautiful.
You can't understand light unless you understand darkness, because that's where life is most often lived - somewhere between the two. It's messy and it's beautiful all at the same time.
What we must do is to stop regarding unpleasant or unexpected things as interruptions of real life. The truth is that interruptions are real life, the real life that God sends us day by day. What we call our real life is but a phantom of our imagination.

Welcome to Virginia Law!

Posted on 1/27/2010 at 10:09:12 AM

I just received confirmation this week that the University of Virginia School of Law (www.law.virginia.edu) has officially re-admitted me after my year of deferment and I am set to enroll this coming Fall of 2010 as a member of the Class of 2013. I’m very excited and, of course, nervous. I’m sure the next 8 months will fly by and, before I know it, I’ll be arriving in Charlottesville for the start of – gasp! – law school! But, for now, rather than getting my stomach in a knot prematurely, I’m just going to tell myself that I’m excited and leave it at that.

(This is the main law school building at night.)

    Yay! You’re going to be in Charlottesville! That’s great. Maybe you’ll have some time to catch up with your old debate coach?
