Walking through the grass, I read the names on the stones. Some of them had flowers placed or planted all around, and many had flags. They are the same names I read every year on Memorial Day and on my brother’s birthday. The same thing I do every year. I walk through the graveyard to visit his grave; and as […]
I remember it well. I remember digging myself into a hole that I could not get out of, and the more that I tried – the more I would be digging myself deeper. I was tired and miserable. I remember crying out for help, hoping someone would hear my screams; but no one answered. I finally lost all energy to […]
Thursday, May 3rd was the National Day of Prayer. I’m so thankful that our nation has a day for us to commemorate prayer. I believe that prayer is one of the most important concepts of being a Christian. Prayer, along with the Holy Spirit, is our connection to God.

Remember when you were a child, and you could hardly wait for the church service to be over. All you could think about was the Easter egg hunt and imagining all of the treats you would find within those eggs. This is something I remember very clearly. In fact, I still look forward to it. Even though my sister and […]
Stories. They say a lot. They can either be truth or fictional or a bit of both. They show events, adventure, and emotions. This is my short story based on Scripture. “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever,” I said my favorite psalm out loud as I walked along the road picking flowers. Today […]
“Write about what really interests you, whether it is real things or imaginary things, and nothing else.” ~C.S. Lewis I absolutely love this quote, and it’s not just because C.S.
