Guard Your Mouth
“For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. [12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the…

Reconstruction: Pt. III – Weather Delays
Previously in this series: Intro Part I Part II Old habits die hard. At least, that’s how the saying goes and I believe there’s truth in it. Those things of old are difficult to kill, but not impossible. They can die; there’s some hope in that.

Reconstruction: Pt. 1 – Blueprint

Fantasy VS Reality: Part II
FANTASY VS REALITY: PART II—FACING DRAGONS Approaching this topic makes me brings a certain image to mind: I’m walking on a dirt trail. It’s a bright and sunny day with fluffy, white clouds in the brilliant blue sky. Then suddenly the trail dead-ends into a cave that is pitch black and looks ominous. I don’t…
