I spent July 4th this year with my best friends, Jack and Isabella, similarly with the past few years. We did the usual patriotic things like eat burgers, play spikeball, hit some golf balls, and of course, watch some fireworks while drinking sweet tea. All of these things while enjoying the company that we haveContinue reading “Time and Space”

Strength in Weakness
Bravery means a variety of things to most of us. We often see bravery, strength, and courage go hand in hand when someone conquers a fear or does something that most would not do.

Reflection is always important and as I’ve just finished my freshman year in college I couldn’t help but look back and smell the aroma of Christ consistently in the past year.
