I saw a video recently where Ravi Zacharias answered a student at Yale’s question, which was essentially, “Why can’t I just do good? Why do I have to become a Christian?” And Ravi Zacharias answered the question, but I feel like he over-complicated it or at least expressed it in a more esoteric or indirect... Continue Reading →
What You Can Learn From Wingdings Font
The other day I was playing around and typed “JESUS” in various fonts and, of course, gave in to the temptation to see the Wingdings font version. Surprisingly, I found the eclectic character set has some pretty deep meaning to be attached to how it represents my Savior’s name: (J) : There is joy in... Continue Reading →

This refers to the proposition put forth by an article run in their magazine’s March edition that suggests Christians should wash their hands of western culture and withdraw to isolated...

Every day has become filled with small adventures, because of our... Continue Reading →
A New-ish Beginning

My First Novel in Print…Sort of
Since this is my blog's first post, I guess it only makes sense to start off with something pretty special to commemorate the event. Recently I had the opportunity to get a proof copy of the novel I finished writing in February of this year. After two and a half years of work, the 15 page... Continue Reading →
