I must admit, there has been significantly more on my mind in recent times than there has been in many years. If it were possible to sum up the thoughts to have occurred during the past three weeks, it would take much longer than three weeks to explain them in proper detail. I’ve attempted many […]
It’s very easy to find many things worthy of a hearty complaint. In fact, these are the things that often spring to the surface and overshadow all that it is we have to be thankful for. Yet, I’d like to encourage you to take a moment to think about all it is you have to […]
Within the heart of every man is the desire to prove himself to be the great warrior he internally envisions himself to be. The tragedy is that men are no longer able to express or fully realize this inner desire/fantasy within their spirit. In a culture where great battles are fought, not with swords, but […]
Dear Dad, It’s been some time since I’ve written you and I was hoping to change that by taking a few moments to say hullo. While I’m well aware that you do not actually read these letters – and I would be upset if you took time away from Heaven to do so – it […]
There are instances in life where I find inspiration from looking at biblical heroes of the past who faced some of the most difficult situations humanly possible. Some of these individuals suffered countless torture and suffering for the pursuit of their faith. Others endured never-ending temptations and temporary luxuries that sought to distract them from […]

As I’m somewhat introspective, I’ve always taken the opportunity to put into words the way I feel prior to embarking on these ten weeks of schoolwork, late night studying, and the ever-eternal cram sessions prior to […]
There’s a growing fear in me that my ability to motivate others is not nearly strong enough to motivate the most difficult person to motivate; myself. It’s very easy to encourage others to spring forward with action. What I fear most is that my life will be nothing more than a propeller of others, with […]
“The trouble is that, as modern people, we have too much to live with and too little to live for.” Enough. Too many quotes are being displayed without anything to back them up. There’s nothing but a bunch of wannabe entrepreneurs, religious zealots, political activists, and unique teenagers who do little more than serve in […]
“The supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things–the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit.” There’s something to be said about being genuine.
