Life Update!
Hey, everybody! You may or may not have noticed that it’s been pretty quiet over here on ldchristianson.com lately. Weekly blogs seem to be a thing of the past, as do Tuesday posting days. If I’ve learned one thing in my college years, it’s roll with the changes. Since those changes are relevant to my […]
Book Bites 1
I enjoy sharing my recent reads with y’all, but I don’t always have a lot to say about each, and I don’t want this to become only a book review blog. Believe it or not, there’s more going on in my life and mind than books and writing, and I want to explore and share […]
A New Article (And a Correction)
In lieu of a blog post this week, I’m sharing my newest article in The Old Schoolhouse. For the Spring 2025 issue, I wrote about “Fun with Fallacies.” This article provides tips on teaching a middle school logic course that is useful and fun. I drew inspiration from a co-op class my mom taught back […]
Seasonal Living
I get tired of hearing that old cliché “you’re just going through a season of life.” That’s not what I’m referring to here. I’m talking about actual seasons, not slightly vague and very trite advice. I find something grounding in incorporating seasonal elements into life, especially since I started college and my stress level exponentially […]
My Little Silver Camera
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a little tired of all the “conveniences” of the modern world that seem to mostly cause chaos. I don’t mean indoor plumbing or air conditioning or cars, none of the things that are actually conveniences. I don’t even mean computers. I’m actually a big fan. What I’m […]
Welcome to the Vault!
This page will feature pictures from my antique and thrifting adventures, items from my collection, and stories about them. It’s going to take me a while to go through some of my things and do the photography and research needed, but I’m really excited to add this section to my site. I’ve been collecting old […]
Book Review: The Thirteen Problems
This month’s Read Christie 2025 theme was “authors.” The book selection was The Thirteen Problems, a collection of Miss Marple short stories. I enjoyed the book, but I typically don’t like to read short story collections from beginning to end over a short period. One of the great things about short stories is their ability […]
Book Review: A Shadow in Moscow
I was flipping through a book distributor’s catalog a while back and ran across a book with the tantalizing subtitle “a cold war novel.” As I said in my review of the original Mission Impossible series, I’ve been fascinated with that time period lately. I’ve read a few nonfiction books on Soviet espionage and infiltration […]
New Site Launch
As you probably know, I’ve been having some technical difficulties with my site lately. After consulting with my staff of expert computer scientists (aka Dad), I decided the best option was to switch to a different website platform that gives me more control over the workings of everything. Of course, that meant restarting the site […]
Book Review: Third Girl
This is my first Read Christie 2025 review! Read Christie 2025 is a challenge from Agatha Christie Ltd. That assigns a Christie book to each month of the year based on a theme. This is my first year doing the challenge, and I plan to post a review of each of the selections near the […]
