As I write this, I’m basking in the glow of knowing all my finals are finished. Honestly, who invented those vile things anyway? Necessary evil, right?
Anyway. This is one of “those posts” to let you know I haven’t gone anywhere, that I haven’t died, and that I will start writing again soon, especially since school is finally out for the Christmas holiday.
Here’s what you can be looking forward to in the upcoming weeks…
Future articles:
- Social Conservatism and its place in the (newly rebuilt) GOP.
- My thoughts on the RNC Chairperson race (who to support).
- The culture war and the importance of celebrating Christmas (and not “the Holidays”).
Check the feed soon for an update. I’m not promising all three by tomorrow, but you’ll at least get the last one before next Thursday…
Merry Christmas!
Caleb

Personal Thanksgiving: family, turkey, and shopping. At least that’s how it generally goes for me. We talk, eat, and shop, but generally we don’t give a lot of thought to our many blessings, at least en masse.
This year, I thought I’d share some of what I’m thankful for.
- God’s unconditional love and forgiveness. I’d be sunk without it.
- Family and Friends. They keep me going everyday.
- Homemade pumpkin pie and greenbean casserole. It’s not Thanksgiving without truly delicious (but fattening) foods.
- Freakin’ awesome Black Friday bargains. Better hurry up and check out BFAds if you haven’t already… you’ve got five hours in Central Time.
- Apple, Macs, and iPods. Ease-of-use and future careers are nice. Besides, I couldn’t live without my MacBook Pro or my iPod touch.
- Gov. Sarah Palin and Conservative Values. Like I said, the future is great, but unless we all get on board, it’s going to be a long road ahead, no matter how amazing Gov. Palin is.
- Sleep. I’m a teenager and a college student; I think this goes without explaining.
- School and Scholarships. Yea, I know, but I’m happy to have the opportunity to create a better life for myself.
- the “and Scholarships” part. I’m also thankful not to have to pay for it.
- Music. My life would be boring without a little beat pumping through my earbuds.
I posted this late because I like to think Thanksgiving goes on through at least Friday, if not Saturday morning (also because I was too busy eating and browsing the Black Friday ads to break away to write this…), so join in the great turkey call and tell me what you’re thankful for.

Uncategorized I’m pretty excited. Tomorrow I’m going to get my senior pictures taken. I’m really glad it still looks like late August or early September outside, because I really have never wanted fall pictures, so hopefully we won’t get an enormous cold front tonight that turns everything brown.
As for the rain, I really don’t know. I mean, obviously Kesler’s not going to take his equipment out in the torrential downpour, but some pictures-in-the-rain would be cool, just not all of them. I’d rather have sunny ones; that’s probably more my personality, wouldn’t you think?
I still haven’t picked out my clothes, either. That’s the job for this afternoon, if I don’t go to the Life Chain. It’s a good cause, and I wholly support the Pro-Life movement, but I don’t know that i have time today to do everything I need to do, like pick out clothes, work on the church’s blog and podcast, and finish some Spanish homework and my “Profiles in Courage” essay for Government.
We’ll see.
In the meantime, lunch is about ready and I need to get started on everything.
