Please Read

Hello, We don’t speak much, or perhaps never at all. Life takes us on different paths and journeys, but I want you to know that you are in my heart and mind. I have reached a point in my life of reflection and introspection. There is so much I want to share with you, butContinue reading “Please Read”

The Scariest Words

When I was seven, I “gave my life” to Jesus. Honestly, I never really understood what that meant. All I knew was I didn’t want to go to the place with fire and brimstone. I was told that if I said the sinner’s prayer and accepted Jesus in my heart, I would be saved. ItContinue reading “The Scariest Words”

The Hard Truth

C.S. Lewis gave us one of the best descriptions of God in his book, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. When the children enter the world of Narnia, they are told of the great Aslan.

And being found in appearance asContinue reading “The Mindset of Christ”

Compare Yourself

We are always told that we should never compare ourselves to others; the only person we should compare ourselves to is the person we were yesterday. I do believe in the latter statement. However, there is someone we should constantly be comparing ourselves to. We are not comparing who is better looking or who isContinue reading “Compare Yourself”

You Were Warned

Many Christian sects like to state that Jesus was a pacifist. He taught us to love others and sacrifice oneself for our friends. He turned the other cheek to the Roman soldiers who beat and abused him. He stayed silent when accused by the Jewish leaders. He told Peter to put away his sword whenContinue reading “You Were Warned”
