Hey Reader, Today officially marks the two-week mark before my brother David and I will be driving down to Richmond! The preparations are starting—bought a duffle bag and a new guitar strap, and it's starting to become real. Last night I sang my last set on Nightwatch at the Prayer Room, which was very bittersweet. Singing and praying during the night this summer has easily been a highlight and a source of life. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to do so. Financial UpdateI also wanted to give you an update on how support raising is going. Through the generous partnership of people just like you I have raised $6,000!

I am so excited and expectant for this new season. —Maddie P.S. Read my previous newsletters here. |

So our day-to-day, our mundane, that is what He wants to talk about. That is where He wants to meet us.” As I told her...
a thought (or two) on trees My journals, sketchbooks, and anyone who has spent enough time with me know of my love for trees. I still find just as much joy in climbing a tree as I did when I was a little girl- still nothing like sitting up high surrounded by branches swinging from limb to limb. Recently, someone asked me why trees, what draws me to them? I found myself at a loss of words. But after pondering for a while, I realized that most of my fascination would have to do with knowing...
Hello Reader, I hope you had a sweet Thanksgiving! I have been enjoying a slow week here in Richmond filled with lots of books, beverages, and walks as the weather gets cooler here. I have been listening to Poor Bishop Hooper's new album, As Foretold this Advent- it's beautiful, go listen to it!! As Foretold: Part 1 • Poor B... Prologue • Poor Bishop Hoope...
