In middle and high school, I struggled with not … Continue reading Throwback Thursday: #noego
Forward Progression: a Thief?
I'm sick of the acute immediacy of pain and unpleasant situations. You know, that illusion that points out that what is going on immediately is all there is and that nothing could possibly change. Yet, we know it will change. It's inevitable. The only constants in life are God and change, right? This is that … Continue reading Forward Progression: a Thief?

I could turn my data connection off, … Continue reading Processing

In their eyes, on their face, we can see hope, life, excitement, love, contentment and peace. Or, we can see discouragement, frustration, unhappiness, anger, … Continue reading Countenance
Decisions
