About a week ago, my state had its first corona virus case confirmed. A week later, pretty much everything is closed down and everyone's lives are, in essence, cancelled. It took awhile to sink in, but by last Friday night, I was at the point of losing it. Not just because one or two things … Continue reading HOPE and COVID-19

Why Christians Should Not Read Smut
If you're reading this, I'm already surprised. Why? Because most people will probably a) not read because they're afraid I might get explicit because of the title, b) don't want to be preached at, c) already think they know what I'm going to say and not read it anyway. However, if you are reading this, … Continue reading Why Christians Should Not Read Smut
Is God Good?
As a Christian, I get confronted with this question a lot. And not just by other people, but also by myself. Life is hard, okay? Not just as a Christian, but as anyone living in the broken world we live in, life is hard. For some, it's harder than most. And when bad things happen, … Continue reading Is God Good?
Other Peoples’ Opinions vs. You
(Sorry for the absence; life got crazy the last couple weekends.) This past weekend, I competed in a music and Irish dance competition. It was my first time ever competing in Irish penny whistle and voice and dancing in novice level. The music competition, well...

Why Christmas Should Be Celebrated
Christmas among Christians is a surprisingly controversial issue. Some Christians have no scruples celebrating it while others either don't or debate about whether they should. Reasons are because Christmas replaced the pagan holiday of Saturnalia, that Christ's birth isn't supposed to be celebrated, etc. And still others celebrate Christmas without hardly thinking of the real … Continue reading Why Christmas Should Be Celebrated
Lost Masculinity
This is posted with permission from Verity Buchanan. I have wanted to speak about this for a long time. I've held back from fear of antagonizing or hurting others. In fact, I daresay I will regret posting this. But I cannot stay silent, and so forgive me for briefly becoming as political as I … Continue reading Lost Masculinity
Little Things
In the busyness of life, we often miss out on the little things. Or, we're so busy looking at the little things that we miss out on the big picture. After all, it's the small, tiny brushstrokes that make the whole painting. We're so busy rushing from one thing to the next that we miss … Continue reading Little Things
Finding Out the Whole Counsel of God
As many of you know, last week I was at my denomination's annual church camp. It was tons of fun and also some not so fun stuff, but that's not the point. It was great to see all my friends again and be with them and I miss them all like crazy. However, that's not … Continue reading Finding Out the Whole Counsel of God
