General

Howdy! This is one of those posts by me that has absolutely no focus but is solely me rambling on about whatever pops into my head. As a general rule, my stream-of-consciousness posts tend to be some of my favorites, but I make no promises on this one being any good. Not to mention, it is getting kinda late, and I have to be up early in the morning, so this can’t be super long or have any profound analogies like previous off-the-cuff posts have had. I, in my nerdy little English mind, think it’s funny that both words describing the spontaneity of my posts are hyphenated words. ...Read more

This is a rather random post I posted on my main blog, Fall Write in Love.  It is geared toward the readers there... I hope you aren't offended.   ...Read more

Hey guys.  Since I realized what it meant to truly be a Christian, I have been in the process of giving EVERYTHING over to Christ.  

I started by giving over my future pursuits. ...Read more

Howdy!  I hope you're doing well!  I am taking a Public Speaking class over my January Term or "J-Term," and a lecture we had triggered some thoughts in me. ...Read more

Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well.

I wanted to post something on here that I was thinking about this morning, and to those of you who get my “daily verse” texts in the morning, you have already gotten some of  this. ...Read more

 I was supposed to post this on Wednesday but it slipped my mind.

Today I wanted to write about the power struggle that I often see going on in my own head.  I want things.  God wants things.  How do I know when I want what God wants?  Additionally, when it is made apparent that our wants do not line up, how do I rid myself of my wants and pursue His?  I have been struggling with these questions lately.  These are not questions man can answer on his own.  Rather, man must read God’s Word to see how this complex situation works. ...Read more

Why doesn't our faith thoroughly permeate every facet of our christian lives?

Why don't we desperately ache to know the Lord more intimately and deeply?

Why don't we immensely thirst for the righteousness of God?

Why do we settle for petty fights, childish selfishness, and foolish, fleeting pleasures, rather than yearning for that which is beautifully eternal?

Why are we satisfied with living lives that mirror that of the sunken world, rather than being new creatures who point directly to a Higher Being? ...Read more

This post was written prior to Christmas, but not posted here due to the fact that it's a talk I gave the Sr. High. I didn't want them to have reason to be bored during the talk, since they may have already read it here had it been here prior to when it was that I would have posted it had I not waited... Well, it made sense in my head anyway.

I really don't like Christmas

Am I the only one who finds Christmas rituals extremely cliché? I mean, I'm only 20 and I'm already getting tired of doing the same thing every year. What really bugs me is that people always think they're being so unique. There's always someone at church who thinks that reading out of Isaiah and calling it "the Gospel of Isaiah" is a new idea. I've heard that joke pretty much every Christmas.
