The man known as "America's Pastor" passed away today, and I'm pretty upset by the news. My mom had texted me when she found out, and being me, I had to look it up myself. I ended up scrolling through numerous Twitter posts talking greatly about this evangelist that touched many lives. Though he was … Continue reading RIP Billy Graham
This past week has been, well... quite a week. For me, it's been both stressful and eye-opening. My entire life I've felt like I was the only conservative Christian girl, now young woman, among my peers. As I've gotten older, this feeling has become more of a reality... and even more so over the past few … Continue reading Finding Encouragement in Trying Times

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]
