Hello! My names Loralai and I am a rising Junior Creative Writing Major at Lee University in Cleveland, TN! Fun fact, my mom grew up in Tuxedo and we are writing a book together about the area, so I am BEYOND pumped to spend some time there and get inspired by all the people and activities at Greystone!
“And he answered them, ‘To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.’” Matthew 13:11-13
Personal Interests: I am a polyhobbyist: I write, I paint, I draw, I scrapbook… No matter how, I am always creating!
When I have an hour of free time, I like to… Read anything by C.S. Lewis with a good cup of vanilla earl grey :)
Something you wouldn’t guess about me: I’m writing 30 books and I love a good swordfight!
The emoji that describes me: THE DUCK because they’re the love of my life
The one thing that makes any day better: A walk in the sunshine when there’s flowers about.
The camp food I can’t wait to eat is… I hear there will be watermelon… I infamously love watermelon!
Item that I MUST bring to Camp with me: Quackers, my favorite beanie baby!
My go-to pump up song: Got My Own Thing Now - Squirrel Nut Zippers
The best book I’ve read this year: C.S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy (the best book series ever written. I am endlessly re-reading it.)
My guilty pleasure: Ham Salad, a special family recipe! (Baloney, cocktail peanuts, pickle relish and mayo in a food processor. Shockingly makes an incredible sandwich spread!)
The most famous person I’ve met is… Andrew Peterson (Wrote the Wingfeather Saga!)
My favorite cheesy joke: Did you hear about the guy that invented the door knocker? He won the No-Bell Prize!
I wanted to work at Greystone because… I love Jesus, I love people, and I want to fully embrace this lovely summer season!
