my friend katie has been blogging from india. you can read her blog here.

it's been heartbreaking and amazing to read about her journey over there. there is so much poverty and injustice there, and yet there is also hope. katie has done a good job conveying that through her blog and it makes me wish so badly that i was there to help out or do something. at the same time, its awesome to see God using her in a tough place. if you ever want to see a creative and beautiful blog, check that one out.

another blog of note is my friend laura's blog. she just wrote a cool one on dating and what it is and isn't. hit home a little bit and brought some things to light. check it out here.

i've been writing more music. specifically, i've been spending a lot of time on "after the fire has burned out," a song that is almost 9 minutes long. i met with a friend of mine on saturday night for some assistance with it. she was a classical music composition minor in undergrad and gave me all sorts of great pointers on how to arrange things and not arrange things.

otherwise, that's life right now. music, school, work. my knee is healing up from last week and i hope to do a good hike tomorrow. maybe something like henniger flats, an 8 to 10-er, just to make sure the knee is ok again.

but life is good and i am trying to become stronger and better at it. ttfn.
