[dropcap style=”font-size: 60px; color: #9b9b9b;”]I[/dropcap]n the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved […]
In Fahrenheit 451, we are shown a world that has changed to become a society without books. Existing books, banned and outlawed, are perceived to be hidden treasures for their knowledge; a vast, rare understanding of the past knowledge. This written love for books is really quite beautiful. However, I have begun to wonder if […]
We often speak of resurrection with such callousness that we forget the significance of its occurrence 2,000 years ago. We also isolate this act to the past, thus preventing the beauty of it to be seen in our daily lives. Every single day, resurrection occurs. Whether it is the new leaves on a tree or […]
Over time, I’m coming to discover that I’ve become less concerned about what it is that others think over the fact that I disagree with them. A more gentle version of this statement would go something along the lines of: “As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized that people are unique individuals, with the uniqueness of […]
Does the suit wear the man, or does the man wear the suit? I’ve always been a big fan of this statement, as it’s reflective of many elements of our society that cannot be duplicated simply by appearance.

What man builds a tower without first counting the cost? This verse has stuck out to me on many occasions, as there have been many proverbial towers to […]
The occupation of living uprightly is not a part-time position, nor one to be taken lightly. Warriors never lose their fighting mindset. Rather, they take it with them into every element of their life; fighting to the death for their beliefs, values, and loved ones. Yesterday, I had an encounter that taught me an incredibly […]
“The man knew what he wanted and went out and got it! Walked into a jungle and comes out, the age of twenty-one, and he’s rich!” The world is changing. Whether we like to admit it or not, we cannot help but stand and admire the beauty of the things which are, which previously were […]
I’ve noticed that life seems to offer a strange ability for us to discover our own personal resurrection and rebirthing, should we be willing to try and pick ourselves up from where we have fallen. Few things are more refreshing than a fresh opportunity, idea, or individual. While it’s a rare occurrence for many of […]
Monday happens to be my favorite day of the week. The idea of starting fresh, renewing work from the previous week, and finally having the opportunity to clamp, once again, at the bit of the cart you’ve been pulling is very refreshing. Today is a new day. This is a new week. If you have […]
