Hi, I’m Casey, and I live in Southern California with my sweetheart, Jason. While I can be found in numerous places online, this particular spot is where I catalog my day-to-day thoughts and inspirations.

Though it cost him his life (quite brutally), he’ll forever be a hero of the faith with the thousands martyred before and since.

I remembered something that I used to do as a child—play library. I hand-drew little library cards and either made envelopes (or used premade ones, I can’t remember) to secure to the inside of my books. I remember using a ruler to make even little lines on the card, and I would pencil in my name when I took a book down to read.

Now that I’m a grownup (hypothetically), I’ve become quite lax. I’m <i>resolved</i>, however, to get back in the habit. There is nothing quite as thoughtful as a handwritten note sent by post. I ordered <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1402747020/">101 Ways to Say Thank You</a> with a gift card and cannot wait for it to arrive.
