Inside the Minds of Valerie and Mike (and Anna)
Last weekend my boyfriend and I had a virtual date night. We decided that we would watch a movie together using the new Netflix Party feature. The only problem was we didn’t know what to watch.

We are human. We are all part of families. But more importantly we are Christians and we are all children of God. Recently we celebrated the Baptism of our Lord, and we are called to remember our own baptism and what it means for us today. “Children of God, you have been sealed by the... Continue Reading →
Sermon given at CTS Lutheran Church 6/12/16 based on the Gospel reading Luke 7:36-8:3 [editor's note: this sermon was written and presented by Anna.] It’s no secret that women in the Bible are mistreated.

For this assignment, we were asked to take one of the short stories that we read in class and write what was essentially a prequel by creating one prior significant event in a character's life that explained their characterization. My story came from... Continue Reading →
Last year I was not thrilled with my English teacher. This one is already so much better in every way possible. Including that we have creative writing assignments. The first one was to write about a natural event. Here is what I came up with. Can you tell I kind of what snow? Enjoy... Twenty... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was so much fun! It was the Humanities Showcase for our New York documentaries that we made from our New York trip back in the fall. Each NYC group created a main documentary with a professional interview, a history documentary, and a lower Manhattan documentary, and a midtown documentary. For both the lower and...

Here it is. My final confirmation homework assignment from my last confirmation retreat. Its been a long 3 years at times, but they have all been good and fruitful. In this assignment we had to create a single Belief statement after looking at the Apostle's Creed. It was kind of challenging to narrow down to... Continue Reading →
