Learning
It isn’t as if I didn’t realize that with every step I took, I risked losing love forever, rather it is that I knew that God would remain faithful in all things. I know how big of a risk it is to take to offer to God the one you love, but God is our first love, and as such our only source of true, pure love. He, as our Father and Creator, demands our hearts. Not loosely, for His ways...

Hello Blog
I get frustrated with the Internet quite often. Or perhaps it is better to say that I get frustrated with the supposed simplicity and hyper connectivity of technology. That seems contradictory coming from a journalist, right? (Call me a storyteller, if you please.)
My professors are always encouraging us to “get connected” and “enhance our public/online profiles.” This...

Endless Numbered Days
Dress Update Coming Soon!
Days 3/4: The woods are lovely, dark and deep
Right So,
I’ve been semi-neglectful of blogging these days. I’ve been busy and keeping late hours. Sorry! Lest you think I’ve strayed from my mission I shall do my best to make amends forthwith.

Day 3: Sunday
We are officially in October weather! As such my allergies cannot be worse, I’m afraid. Sunday morning found me...
Day 2: Cleaning, Seeking, Waiting, Hearing,...
Today was long, today was lovely, today was full,
It is far too late to recount it with the imagery I wish to share, but part of me has to get it written tonight. The very part of me that doesn’t have any better way to finish this sentence.
?
Okay, so…
Today I woke up and donned dress. It was early but I was tired of sleeping. This rarely happens! I made breakfast and coffee. This...
Day 1: Over easy
Day 1 of the project was pretty tame. I started off the day at 7 a.m. Woke up, put on dress, made coffee, went to work. I only told one of my co-workers, Casey, about the project. She asked me why I was so dressed up. After explaining it to her she seemed a bit disgusted at the idea of her having to wear a dress every day for a month. Not the dress type of gal. :)
After work I headed home, my...
October Dress Project: Intro
So begins my journey,
This October approximately 130 girls, myself included, unite from all over the country with one common goal: To wear one dress for the entire month.
The point of this project is a return to simplicity, creativity, and beauty. We will be fasting our wardrobes for the entire month in order to focus on other things. All too often we can be consumed by our society,...

Thoughts
What is your life full with? Are you full and content with the blessings that you have? Consider this, that God blesses the empty but the full do not always leave room for God to bless. Where in your life might you be limiting the Lord’s blessings by putting yourself first? By satisfying our needs, or wants, immediately by our own means we rarely need to call upon the Lord. Try going out of...

Thomas is a Zoology major here at UF, and a fellow Earthbender at our chruch, Gator Christian Life. This is a note he posted on facebook today. I think it is beautiful and tragic.

Can we share a secret?
I miss my camera more than any lost posession.
I’m afraid of how I’ll get through my photojournalism classes without one next semester.
I think I deserved to have it stolen.
I’m not happy with the point-and-shoot replacement, at all. I’m afraid it will set me behind everyone else and ruin my chances.
My camera was like an extension of my soul, and it seems that no one...
It may be the last breath we take

Few Things are more clear to me than this
A tear running down my grandma’s cheek during the funeral of a close family friend who took his own life. I was too young to understand; it was the only time I’d ever seen her cry.

Interviews, Internet, and overcoming obstacles.
No story can be completed without hitting a few road bumps along the way.
When I first searched for sources for my article, I searched the Internet for University of Florida staff who were involved with a certain satellite which studies the moon. I knew this satellite to be one which came up with vital information regarding the water found on the moon.
Luckily enough, I found the name of a...
Satellite Findings
In my last blog I shared that NASA sent a satellite into the moon, in hopes of stirring up debris which could then be studied for traces of water particles. The satellite impacted the moon on Oct. 8, creating a new crator in the moon.
The new crater is estimated to be 98 feet wide, and is located in lunar crater Cabeaus A. Large amounts of sulfur were traced in the debris and a fine vapor was...
Source of Opportunity
While walking around campus, it is good to keep an eye out for potential sources. Sometimes, all you need is a student source, and so finding someone to talk to is not very hard. However, often the time comes when a simple student may not due. For me, this is one of those times.
There is a small network among my friends where, if we know someone needs something, we look out for it. It was known...
