Messes of men, formed in poverty.
I miss having only one of my friends with a car and the rest of us had to pile in and keep each other company. When my friends parents couldn’t give him a ride we would have to ride bikes to the nearest store to buy bags full of candy before we would watch The [...]
Truth and stop signs
I was driving through downtown which has a lot of One Way streets. Usually when I stop seeing signs facing me I can figure out that I am going the wrong way [which I have only done like 1-2x] I think there is a chance that when we are walking away from truth, things [...]
Zebras, Giraffes and Squirrels.
When I was in Africa, baboons were everywhere, I would see them when I was walking outside my hotel, they would be in the road like dear, crossing and getting in the way of cars. Of course every American in the van had to get their camera out and take pictures. Obviously the natives aren’t [...]

Hot Cocoa and Salad
I used to think I hated hot chocolate, but I soon found out it was because my mother gave me only half a packet with a full cup of water. I do believe people don’t think that highly of God because they’ve only received a watered down version. I used to hate Salad, [...]
The Discount Gospel.
I think it’s right to say that more that 90% of the words we know, we have assumed the meaning of them. For example, in that last sentence how many of those words have you actually looked up in the dictionary to learn the meaning or how many have you asked someone the meaning of [...]
