Fancy victorian lettering and foreign-sounding organic ingredients still don’t cover the fact that I question whether or not the $25 face wash I’m using is somehow superior to the $5.99 bottle that carried me through my teenage breakouts. That’s another story for another time. Two people can drink the same glass of wine, pint of […]
“Raised on MTV…raised on you and me…” Many young men face an unknown enemy they feel the need to strike out and attack. Blindly, they swing and attempt to destroy this unseen force. Realizing this invisible enemy is an asset instead of an enemy is one of the maturing steps a young man reaches as […]
Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Gentleness.

Watching a documentary about World War II, I’m a bit flustered at the realization that our entire world seems much more interested in killing itself – and each other – than in maintaining peace and unity. The chart on the right shows the global defense budget, with the United States of America prominently in the […]
“Don’t open doors. Kick down walls.” I believe that as we get older, our level of intentional consciousness increases or decreases, depending on how we want to live our lives.
