My Summer in 4,500 Characters
(This is the longest blog I’ve ever written, don’t say I didn’t warn you) A lot of people have been asking how I have been doing. I’ve always wanted to be honest and transparent with people. So when they ask, I can’t go to the default “good” when I answer. But to tell you [...]
Prideful lack of self-esteem.
I don’t know how to really start or end this blog: The lack of self-respect comes from your pride. The reason you lose respect for yourself is because you keep thinking “I can do better, I can do better”. My friends, no you can’t. You cannot do better. When you just got [...]
Land of Milk and Honey Bunches of Oats
In the story of Moses, the plagues and Pharaoh. Moses kept pleading with Pharaoh to “let God’s people go” so they may serve the LORD and give sacrifices to Him. When Moses asked this, Pharaoh not only didn’t let them go but he made them work harder. Which made all the Israelites despise Moses, [...]
Swimmers and Sinners
I don’t believe that one sin is what condemns us. I don’t believe it’s that one time you lusted in your heart or stole that candy bar that sends us to hell. I have a close friend that believes God condemns us for eternity for metaphorically running one stop light, he says, “God is [...]
My Incomplete Thoughts of Heaven
When it comes to ambiguity, people prefer to fill in their own blanks. They can’t be satisfied with blanks. If God says something is good, we need to decide in our heads what is good and what is bad. I personally hate dark chocolate and coffee, which I am aware of a lot of people [...]

So a few blogs back I mentioned how I wanted to dedicate my whole life to God, but I felt like I was missing something. I mentioned a quote that says “one man 100% dedicated to God can do more for the kingdom than one-hundred men 99% dedicated to Him.” I felt 90% dedicated and [...]
What Makes Us Closer to God?
Anyone that knows me well enough knows that I had a point in my life that I would consider my ‘spiritual peak’, it was when I felt the closest to God, and it wasn’t just emotion, it was because the fruits of the spirit were evident in my life. I have had the privilege of [...]
Lost in the Details
I have realized that in the past year or two I have been seeing God as manageable and smaller than actually He is. Basically it’s like I am playing in the sand and I dug a hole and filled it with water. I look at it and think, “I can get to know a [...]
The Question Everyone Should Ask Themselves
A friend of mine asked me a great question today. I asked them if it would be alright if I answered in a blog. They said yes. (If you didn’t figure it out, that’s what this blog is going to be about). My favorite blogs to write are the ones where I sit [...]
