Paper boats.
The rays streamed in through the windows, refracting into a rainbow of colours while the afternoon sun smiled as it looked in. The ripples of the harbour carried the sun’s debris on their shoulders, waving their greetings as I looked across the waters.
There’s something beautifully peaceful about traveling across the Bridge before the evening rush; all the students have returned...

This sums up my excitement for the upcoming trip! Words cannot describe (they probably can; I’m just too lazy to delve into my vocabulary) the building anticipation of getting onto an airplane knowing that the proceeding times will be filled with endless (and by “endless” I mean “nine”) hours of long awaited movies that I was too proud (although some may say cheap) to...

I don’t even understand why Taylor Swift is even nominated for the CMAs every year, and I don’t understand why people are so upset she didn’t win an award for a genre her album doesn’t fit in.
I LIKE her winning awards. I think she’s sweet and genuine and beautiful and talented, but don’t you think it’s a little excessive that she’s nominated for...

untitled observations
Let me preface this first by saying that 1. I don’t claim to not be a hypocrite but this is something that’s been made apparent to me time and time again through the vehicle of Facebook, 2. I’m not sorry if I offend you, because honestly if you are, you probably do this, 3. I don’t intend for this to be an expository sermon or a biblical exegesis - these are merely my...

Disclaimer: This will be a post filled with reflections which probably mean nothing to you, my dear reader. There are many illogical jumps in the thought process which make sense to yours truly only. I don’t profess to write anything particularly eloquent or new or outstanding since I am no Pulitzer recipient, but you can take this to be a reflective rant, if you must put a label onto the...

It’s often a difficult and highly controversial task to comment about an individual immediately after their death. Depending upon the praise given, or lack their of, it is inevitably fraught with accusations of insensitivity and political incorrectness.

I Am God’s Sheep.
That’s who I am.
Sheep are not cute, cuddly, wonderful, little creatures. Sheep are stupid. Sheep have no idea what’s good for them. They are weak, defenseless, stubborn and hopelessly selfish. I am just like that, and I’ve finally gotten to a place where I’m okay…

My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

justice.
a figure in a bright red business suit steps up to the podium. her ginger-orange hair falls straight covering her ears, and her hand moves up to sweep it aside. she leans forward into the microphone while photographers wait, poised and ready with their machines.
“I welcome the death of Osama Bin Laden.”
each word is more pronounced than the last as the cameras whirr into focus of...

to be a christian without prayer is no more...
and the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. for example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. but the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. and the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.

something i found on someone else’s blog a few weeks ago. it’s not mine, but i love it. cute and simple, yet awfully true! i hope it changes the way you look at God’s kingdom and who He is in the same way it’s changed mine! :)
