I don't Xanga much anymore. Check my blog, http://www.youngadultsindayton.wordpress.com, which is obsessively updated with articles, links, and other information I find interesting. No topic's really taboo; so far I've managed to hit on emerging theology, politics, activism, feminism, current events, globalization, eating disorders, a boy who's been stalking me at school, fantastic videos from my favorite French animation school, the dangers of Mark Driscoll, vintage Smokey the Bear commercials, the dumbest Cabbage Patch dolls I have ever seen, and Rick Astley. I also run a little e-shop, www.noisytarli.etsy.com, where I sell handmade goodies including but not limited to clothes, accessories, jewelry, toys, books, and pottery.

I am loved by God. Realizing His great affection for me is my anchor, and something I am constantly learning about. I have the word "Beloved" tattooed on my wrist to serve as a constant reminder about what He thinks about me. I have been Jason's wife for 14 years. He was a pastor for 17 years, and is now a Bible college professor. We have 2 boys, Austin (12) and Ethan (11). They are handsome charming affectionate boys! Both have autism, Austin is high functioning, and Ethan is lower functioning. I work part time as a medical secretary in a brand new clinic for Bones and Joints. I love hearing other people's stories and sharing part of mine!

We pray because we realize that, at the core of who we are, we are incomplete. We have been created to be in touch not only with the natural, but with the supernatural. There is that longing for the divine. --Richard Peace
