7 Things I’m Thankful For
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! As most people do, I associate this holiday with the abundance of food my family and I are about to eat and feeling stuffed silly for the next few days. However, since we call this holiday Thanksgiving, I just want to publicly list a few of the many things I am thankful … Continue reading 7 Things I’m Thankful For
Thankfully Content
"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.' So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?'" - Hebrews 13:5-6 I just read this … Continue reading Thankfully Content
True Colors
As children we grow up blind to those around us; who they really are. We see the good in people, not because we refuse to see the bad, but rather that's the only side we ever see. As we grow, we learn that's not the case. We learn the reality that blood is not always … Continue reading True Colors
Give It Another Try
First impressions are important, but they only go so deep. You can't really know if you'll like a person just by talking to them one time; you think you can, but in reality, you just can't. You need to talk to them a second time at least. The same goes with food, movies, music, etc. … Continue reading Give It Another Try
Education: They’re Doing It Wrong
"You can't judge a fish based on its ability to climb a tree." Ever heard of that? Well, it's the same with education. Someone who is good in math might not be as good in science or history (and I may or may not be talking about myself here...). The reason is not because … Continue reading Education: They’re Doing It Wrong
Taste of Winter
"Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful And since we got no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" Admit it, you sang that. I'm going to be honest though, I have a rocky relationship with snow. I like it and I don't like it, but … Continue reading Taste of Winter
Recreating Classic Images
I'm sure everyone has seen the classic 'pages shaped into a heart' book photo. Well, it's an image I've been wanting to do myself for a long time now and I finally grabbed a book of mine and went for it. I had wanted to try to do an isolated color image since I have … Continue reading Recreating Classic Images
God’s Not Dead [movie review]
This past weekend I watched God's Not Dead with my mom. I didn't know much about the film other than that my mom had been dying to see it since she heard about it. When I did find out what the movie was about, it's needless to say I was very, very interested. Synopsis (from the official … Continue reading God’s Not Dead [movie review]
Learning to Lean
For social creatures, we're so independent. Someone asks us if something is wrong or if we're okay, the response is always, "I'm fine." Even if we're clearly not fine; we just want the person not to press on. We want to handle it ourselves. That is the worst possible thing we can do. I've learned … Continue reading Learning to Lean
Need vs. Want
"What do you want for Christmas?" Each year I find this question harder and harder to answer. It's not that I don't want anything, of course there are things I want, but when it comes down to it, I don't really want many of those things that much. As in, I might not want them … Continue reading Need vs. Want
Things I Believed as a Child
As we all know, kids have imaginations large enough to believe that anything can happen. Anything is possible for a child, even if we adults know that it really isn't. Sometimes I think back to the things I really believed as a child and laugh because some of them are just so silly, even though … Continue reading Things I Believed as a Child
