Today I just had a feeling that it was going to be a weird day, a sign. Usually when I experience this, I do in fact have a weird day. I waited for a call for school to be cancelled due to the impending Nor'easter bound for the East Coast. No call came. Some schools … Continue reading Signs

Word
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of … Continue reading Word
Remember
The best way to crawl out of a pit of depression and doubt is to remember what God has done for you. Even if you're not 100% sure he's in the day-to-day goings on, there have to be clear marks that he's done something good in your life.

Naturally when I think of the word life I also think … Continue reading Life
Save
Save. Save some money. Save a life. Save it for later. Save it for the weekend. Saved from the flood. Saved from the Egyptians. Saved from conquering armies. Saved from Goliath. Saved from ourselves.
Lose
