Easter
Christians are more passionate about Easter than any other holy day. It is the foundation of our belief in Jesus Christ. If he did not get crucified, entombed and rise from the dead, our faith is incomplete. We believe he did just as he said he would, that he would die then rise three days…

It’s All Make Believe
Think about all you know about religion. Not any one particular denomination, church, ideology or dogma. They are all the same in the foundation of what you see in the practices and beliefs. All religions, faiths and spiritual paths are all myth to someone and truth to a different someone else. All beliefs have certain…

Dear Lord…tell me a story.
Me: I need to hear how it ends? What happens when the storybook closes? I know that the story is not over. You have much more for me, well, for all of us humans to do, but what is the point if you are there at the end already. God: Why are you so worried…

Dear Lord…make it stop.
Me: Oh God! What is wrong with people? What is happening to my children? This world is full of people who have twisted reality so much that the truth is hidden.

I have heard it said that miracles can be tiny results to everyday prayers. That the miraculous isn’t always the big things like someone surviving a auto…

The Final Frontier
Captain James Tiberius Kirk was wrong. Space is not the final frontier. Time is the final frontier to explore. It is impossible to explore time without investigating space, but that is not what I am talking about here. Let’s look at time as a measurement of our existence. We, humans, view time from our meager…

Power of Touch
In the still of the night they lay. The fog of sleep lifts from his conscience first, then her mind drifts awake. It wasn’t a sound that woke them. It was a restlessness in their souls that wakes them from slumber. The clock on the shelf glows a faint 3:15 a. m. Every day, same…

He Changed Me
Photo by Alexander Mils on Unsplash I have spent the better part of my life trying to be that girl. You know the smart one, the one everyone thinks has all the right stuff going for her. I wore what they said was fashionable. I drove the right car just like the cool TV ads said…
