Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time talking to many different people of various backgrounds and cultures. I have dedicated hours of my time to helping those in need, whether they require someone to talk to or simply to listen to their qualms when they need to rant. There are some whom I […]
Wobbly Road: Part 2
I really did have a pretty good childhood from 8 years to 14 years. I also had some really scary times. We will just say I can remember learning about adult issues inappropriate for my age at least four times. Twice from being left alone with strangers and twice from family. When I tried to […]
Don’t Let the Devil Get you Down
It seems everywhere I turn lately I see people struggling, hurting, and facing trials of all kinds. Some with big emotional things like family members with cancer, or children straying from the Lord, to small everyday annoyances of flat tires and minor illnesses.

Shedding Grave Clothes
Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” (John 11:43-44 NIV) Lazarus was dead. Dead. Dead. Like 4 days in […]

I count myself among the people in my life, friends and family, that are asking God to move in their lives and they are waiting. Everything from people needing surgery and waiting on an opening, marriages that seem to be falling apart, and just being discontent in the way that the world and our country […]
From My Perspective
As a 22 year old living in this day and age, life isn’t exactly easy, but I was blessed to be in a loving environment. However, as I talk to more and more of my peers and meet all kinds of new people, I’ve come to find it hard to talk about my religion or […]
