New Year, New Schedule

Once again, I find myself changing my blog schedule. I'll be posting my blogs on Tuesday, since my new schedule this year allows better writing time on that day. Speaking of new schedules, this past year has been full of changes for me. I went from one job to another,...

Pursuing Holiness

Holiness is being set apart for and because of God. But you can't just sit around and wait for holiness to catch you. Holiness is something you have to pursue, to chase, to go after. While it is something you certainly cannot achieve without God, there is some work...

Skipping Suffering

Spoiler alert, you can't skip all suffering. Sometimes you can skip some, but that doesn't always mean you should. While I would definitely recommend avoiding unnecessary suffering, there is some suffering that teaches you important lessons and makes you a better...
