Bring the Fire
Without a spark… waiting for a fire is futile. There has to be a moment–a single moment–when the fire ignites. That moment changes everything. I’ve realized that–without the blessing of the Lord, a fire is impossible. You may have noticed recently that I haven’t been as active lately, and I’m currently planning on writing closer…

Foundations (Part 2 of 2)
Every single thing that happens sends echoes through time. Some bounce back, others are amplified, and some are diffracted. Which kind are the echoes we send? In John 7:24-27, Jesus tells a story of the wise man who built his house on the rock and the foolish man who built his house upon the sand.…

Foundations (Part 1 of 2)
In the winter, my siblings and I will often make a snowman or two every once in a while. And while we’re not experts, we have learned a few things. We start at the bottom, building three rounds balls of snow, each successively small than the last. By doing this, we ensure that it’s not…

Captain America: Civil War/Avengers: Infinity War
“We try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn’t mean everybody, but you don’t give up.” The movie Captain America: Civil War was released in theaters in May of 2016. And while it didn’t quite conclude Cap’s story, it’s become one of my favorite movies because of both the amazing plot…

Remember
Last Thursday marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day, otherwise known as the turning point of World War II. It was one of the largest amphibious invasions of all time. Major anniversaries such as this get me thinking and remembering all that’s come before. They remind me of why I have liberties. When you look at…

6 Tips for Staying Organised in High School
Slight malfunction in the scheduling department there, but here’s the article anyhow! 😂 I suppose it may sound ironic now, given the problems I had with the posting of this very article on organization, but I’m a pretty organized person.

Foundational Peace
Guest post by my backpacking friend Ricky. What if I told you that peace isn’t some ethereal feeling sung about in songs or the snub to reality portrayed in the last 2 minutes of every family friendly movie? What does it actually mean to be at a state of peace within yourself? I would suggest…
