We should be nurturers. We're supposed to be a community. We're supposed to listen, to talk with others. To ask, "How was your day?" But when they say, "I'm fine," we're supposed to keep talking.You look into their eyes when they smile or they laugh, through those little window panes. But sometimes- sometimes they're not … Continue reading Smiling Faces

A Missing Piece
Genesis 1:31 NASB "God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good." This is the start of time as we know it for life on Earth. The very beginning to all you see today. At this point in time, God had yet to make me or you. One can think we … Continue reading A Missing Piece

Sparrows’ Wings
I've never been in love.Not truthfully, at least.Broken heart beats flutter by like Sparrows' wings.Quick and fleeting.Leaving you to reminisce in their wake.Each downward beat of the wings, and pump of the chest hold but weary reminders of lessons learned past.To be in love is a lesson my heart yearns to learn.But books merely spout … Continue reading Sparrows’ Wings
Amongst the Winter Storm
Have you ever noticed that the cold seems to be much more lasting than the heat? I suppose cold is merely the absence of heat. Without heat the cold itself would be non-existent.

It's a conflicting thing because in this world when you show compassion you're automatically seen as someone … Continue reading Me vs. the World
The Epic Battle: Nature vs Nurture
So a little while ago in AP Lang we talked about an article we had to read on what makes a serial killer. It talked about how genetics effect these people's personalities and mentalities, which, in turn, impacts their outward actions. And it sort of got me thinking about a topic that absolutely fascinates me: … Continue reading The Epic Battle: Nature vs Nurture

The Game of Life
In the 21st century we're in a constant race to stay ahead. We have to stay caught up on the latest trends, know the latest news, keep up with where Sarah went for Spring break, and the race continues. When we aren't ahead of the race, we're the ones who can't keep up in conversations, … Continue reading The Game of Life
