Although she grew up in Illinois, Emily attends school and works in the lovely city of St. Paul, MN. She attempts to do what God calls her to do in each moment of her life and loves adventure. She's obsessed with biking, coffee, listening to Christmas music all year round, and Ron Paul.
As my roommate and I were flipping through the complementary “Athens Guide” on our hotel room desk we came across a very disturbing article. I’m not going to say much except that it explicitly described how to find illegal prostitution in the city. Our hearts sunk. After arriving home I was convinced by some friends [...]
First of all, hello from the amazing country of Turkey! It is a place of beautiful mountains, amazingly strong coffee, and I must say, some very nice looking young men… Oh! And some great Biblical sights! When I signed up for this trip in November I had no idea what I was getting myself into. [...]

So, for me, Wednesday morning sucked. Tuesday night my RA had given some of my friends and I cards good for 2 free weeks of tanning. I went for the lowest amount of time on the lowest possible level and woke up Wednesday morning, my skin burning and glowing a shade of fiery red. Then [...]
If you haven’t heard the news on Governor Blagojevich then read this: Basically, Illinois Governor Blagojevich had the right to appoint the senator who would replace President Elect Obama and Blagojevich was selling the seat. My sophomore year of high school Interstate 172 opened up between the town I lived in, Carthage, IL, and Quincy, [...]
There is one thing I’ve learned from going up in a church. Christians like to argue a lot. We argue about predestination. We argue about what political party is “God ordained”.
