Momentary Disconnection
The wifi can’t connect and it seems that I am for a moment lost.What is it that we did before this age of continual connection?How is it that I, I who claim to be so free of the addiction of my phone, feel the loss of the connection so acutely?How is it that I allowed…

Easter Sunday
He is risen! Oh, what a happy day in the Christian faith, as we celebrate our Saviour’s resurrection! “Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter…

Life Lately
“Bogged down. Stressed. Anxious. Suffocated. I feel like I’m fighting for each breath. Suffocating, taking each day slowly as it drags me down. Just trying to survive, forget about thrive.

True Self
How often we hear the advice of embracing who we really are! Just let go of others expectations and be yourself! Embrace my true self? If so, then I would be: uncaring, selfish, rude, greedy, self-centered, entitled, unforgiving, loveless, and many more things. No, I do not want to embrace my true self. I want…

Greece: more pictures
This was the door to the room I was staying in while I was in Greece. I love interesting doors and had to take a picture! This was what we saw outside our room. There was a castle at the top of the hill. At night the lights all around the castle would light up,…
