This book review was made possible by the christianaudio Reviewers Program.

The In-Between by Jeff Goins takes the reader on a journey through the author’s own life experiences that taught him the importance of those moments that are slow, mundane, and  seemingly insignificant, and how crucial they are actually in shaping us for the next big thing.

And that shrug has made this review really difficult to write.

Whenever I go to a college campus, I check out the library, and will spend quite some time wandering the aisles, just looking at the shelves and shelves of books.

Making Pages.

My apologies for the long silence. It’s been a combination of college, working on other things, and just plain laziness, but here we are again. My intention is to post on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, as those days have the best openings for writing. Today is Wednesday, I know, but this is just a quick update to let you know that I wrote and updated two pages last night- the Welcome page and the Projects page, both of which can be found at the top of the blog above the picture.
