“I have much to write you, but I do not want to do so with pen and ink. I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.” With the internet, there is a lot more frivolous […]

“Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” The thought of our trials being a joy is a stretch for us. All too often we find […]

“The entire law is summed up in a single command: Love your neighbor as yourself.” In a heated discussion with my partner, I asked why I wasn’t treated with more love.The response was quick and painful to bear.

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Last night I was awakened at 2:00 a.m. to the sounds of my son crying. This is not an unusual occurrence these days, with new molars cutting into young gums. When my son wakes up in the middle of the night, he is usually frightened, and, […]

“If one falls down, his friend can help him up.” One of my favorite things about college is the late night chat sessions with my friends. We talk about whatever comes to mind – from the silly things to the serious things. It’s in these conversations that I realize I always have my friends to […]
