I know I usually post about Christlikeness. I talk a lot about how we, Christians, must be obedient, humble, and gentle. This post isn’t going to be like that at all. However, that doesn’t mean that this is totally contrary to what the Bible teaches. Take this passage for example: “Behold, I send you out asContinue reading “Be Rude.”

On Choices
I was born into the generation of finger-pointers. Yes. That is the tragic flaw of Baby-Boomer babies. Rarely do I find someone my age taking credit for the bad things that happened in their life. After all, it’s easy to duck and blame someone else, than to say three hard and bitter words, “It’s myContinue reading “On Choices”
Shining vs. Stardom – Matthew 5:16
“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 (NASB) If you grew up in church, your brain probably tuned out automatically at the mention of this verse. That’s because you’ve heard countless sermons and Bible studiesContinue reading “Shining vs. Stardom – Matthew 5:16”
On Words
You know how people always say, “You don’t know how much damage words can make.” Well, that’s not true for me. I know. I knew. When I was at my worst, I very much knew about how hurtful my words can be, but I still said them because of that very same reason. They hurt.Continue reading “On Words”

Those who know who I was and who I’m trying hard to avoid turning back into was VERY VERY loose and harsh with words. I wrote an article On Words before in which IContinue reading “On Speaking”
Smart Problems (Part 1)
Before we begin, let me give you a bit of a back story here. Please try to take this story with a grain of salt. Looking back at my life, I tried to figure out when the word “smart” started to be a part of my identity and I couldn’t pinpoint when it actuallyContinue reading “Smart Problems (Part 1)”
The 5 People Young People Need In Their Lives
Recent events led me to reexamine my life and to take a closer look at the people who surround me. I had two realizations. I wouldn’t have survived all these trials if they happened 10 years ago. The main reason why I wouldn’t survive was because these people weren’t in my life at that time.Continue reading “The 5 People Young People Need In Their Lives”
Dealing with Papercuts
Do you know what a paper cut is? If you don’t it would be great if you can take a few minutes to read my earlier post. Click here to get there. After reading that, you can go back to this post because this is all about what you could and (I think) should doContinue reading “Dealing with Papercuts”
The Gift of Receiving
When Christmas comes around, hundreds of blog posts talking about giving surface. Christmas has almost become synonymous to gifts, giving, and generosity. I know that some of you already are generous and/or are tired of reading about the same thing again and again. That’s part of the reason why I’m proposing something new this year. Instead of just focusing on theContinue reading “The Gift of Receiving”
