New Friends Bound Between Covers (otherwise known as my yearly book recommendations)
My life has changed in so many ways over the past few years. While the journey has often been painful, it is also refining, joyful, and rewarding. I pray the journey has made me a better person. Now retired and on my own, I have more available time, and I pray to use...
Academic Journey: An Interview with Jeanie on her time in Graduate School
Part 1: Why did you decide at your stage of life to go back to school? As I look back, I honestly believe God was calling me to this new path. If you had told me ten years ago that I would be a doctoral candidate as I near my seventh decade of life, I would probably...

What and Why Are You Learning?
Do you ever find that some questions people ask you cause you to dive deeper for the answers? It has been good to reflect on questions I have been asked about why I chose to enter and continue in graduate school while in my late sixties. So, as I think through my...
Saturday Studies, Monday Musings, and Wednesday Welcomes
My blog will take on a new format, at least for a while. As often as possible, I plan to post personal thoughts on Mondays, share blogs, profiles, and writings of others on Wednesdays, and on Saturdays share things I have been learning. My graduate studies over the...
