I recently witnessed a verbal altercation between two coworkers who are on very opposite ends of a significantly polarizing topic. Like most disagreements on this particular matter, things got a bit heated and personal. While I am not particularly close to either of these people, as the witness of the event, they both looked to…

Recently, I noticed myself starting to feel distanced from God. I know that He never moved… that the distance I felt was b/c I had moved. Or rather stopped moving. This distance correlated with the general state of my feelings and emotions over the last few months. Scared. Anxious. Isolated. Unbalanced. Furious. Abhorred. Hopeless. Panicked. …

Six years ago, a wrecking ball came through my life and demolished everything I was. In its wake, there was nothing but rubble and destruction. Before I could even clear the dust from my eyes, I was left standing alone with a couple tools, some mortar, and a whispered ‘good luck’. I began sorting through…

I don’t need to sugar coat that the world is currently a mess. I mean, it’s always a mess in some manner of speaking, but our country specifically is a cesspool of volatility at the moment. It feels like we are one well placed social match from lighting the cataclysmic fuse of destruction. I won’t…

We have made this election into a much bigger thing than it actually is. The reality is that it was a decision that needed to be made. As with any other decision in life, there are people who are in favor of said choice, and people who are not. No matter what decision is being…

“Give it to God”. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard/been told this in varying forms and phrases. Over the years, my interpretation and participation has morphed with the growth of my faith. In the very beginning, I would pray for God to take my (insert word here) and I would silently…

Today I had another epiphany of sorts that has allowed me to broaden my perspective and strengthen my faith. There has been this common thread woven throughout the sermons at my church. Slow down. Make time for God. Life happens so fast that we get caught up in it and miss the things we should…

The biggest battle that rages within me is figuring out who I am supposed to be now. No, I don’t mean this in the get-to-know-myself-learn-to-love-who-I-am way. I mean, I do love the things that make me unique, which I guess in a roundabout way contributes to this problem. So here I am, on this gloriously…
