Mice, mice and... more mice.

Recently, the bane of my existence (maybe a bit dramatic...) has been MICE. Not only that, but INTELLIGENT MICE! Part of city living is dealing with these nasty little creatures, but, at my apartment, we are realizing that the longer... More...

2009 is gonna be... fine!

Ok, that's lame. 2008 is gonna be great was my slogan last year though, so have to stick with the cheesy tradition! Normally, New Years eve comes and goes, and the next year feels no different than the last one.... More...

Gobble Gobble!

November for me means one thing: Thanksgiving Baskets. Lots and lots of Thanksgiving Baskets. Last year, we were able to give away over 65 baskets to families all over Boston as a THANK YOU for all they do! We know... More...

Miami - here I come!

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for the CCDA Conference, and I am SO EXCITED! The theme for this year's conference is "Seeking the Peace of the City", and this is the little blurb that they have about it on their website:... More...

Art, Music, and Justice

Three of my favorite things--all merging into one! I went to the Art, Music, Justice (AMJ) tour last weekend and it ended up being a pretty powerful worship experience and display of how awesome God is! AMJ was organized by... More...

Fall Happenings

Home It was a full summer, and it's hard to believe that it's over! I recently had some time to reflect and think about the fall as our summer staff transitioned out and the majority of The Boston Project staff... More...

Isaiah 42:1-4

"Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice... More...

Exhausting (but good!) week

This past week has been one of the most exhausting weeks that I've had in a while, but it's been a great one none the less. On Tuesday, I had the chance to help staff our Higher Ground trip, which... More...

Summer in the Dot

This Sunday, our first two summer staff arrive! I am so excited that it's finally summer here in Dorchester, and while walking around outside today, I was so thankful to be back here for my second summer at BP. My... More...

Adventure

exciting month coming up

I've realized that in the next month, I have a lot of exciting things coming up! I get to go home for Easter ('home' being all of fourty minutes away... but still, exciting nonetheless). Then... the real craziness begins! Next... More...

My very first website!!!

Life has been a little stressful here at BP... but... now I'm having a very proud moment! A little less than week ago I was given the task of making a website for a conference at the end of the... More...

New Beginnings

Oscar Time!!

So, normally I LOVE the Oscars, and getting to make predictions about which movies and actors/actresses will win which category... but this year, I'm not really that excited. I suppose the writers strike still has me down (I really miss... More...

Skiing Adventure!

I'm back after a little hiatus where I went home for the holidays (home being all of 40 minutes north of Dorchester, but still) and saw some family and friends and just rested. Coming back to work meant coming back... More...

Tis the season!

So, I'm kind of obsessed with the Christmas season. I love everything about it. From the smell of pine, to the twinkling of lights to sipping on eggnog or cider, and being with family... it's just fabulous! One of my... More...

Richer than you think?

Wednesday night, I went to a Boston Faith and Justice Network (BFJN) meeting out in Cambridge, where the agenda item was sharing more about their "Lazarus at the Gate" bible study groups. This group is intended to be an economic... More...

Simple living is.... not so simple!

One of the books that was really influential in my decision to return to The Boston Project was “The Irresistible Revolution” by Shane Claiborne. Shane is the founder of an intentional Christian community in Philadelphia called The Simple Way, which... More...

…AND THE RED SOX ARE THE 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!

So, it’s no secret that I’m probably the biggest Red Sox fan on staff (go ahead Keith… try to rival me!!!), so when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004, it was amazing. Now I just feel spoiled... More...
