Looking Back Again

Round about a year ago, I was looking for a new job, a new place to live, and a new direction in my life. Now I have two jobs, a place to live, and enough direction to figure out where I should probably head from here. I'm probably going to sound like a broken record...

Faith is like hoisting the sails when there is no wind, expecting wind to blow. Hope is like the anchor to hold the ship in place through a storm. Faith is when a child jumps into a father's arms, knowing their father with catch them. Hope is the life-preserver God...

Strikes Me Interesting – Patriotism and Loyalty

I have recently found it interesting that many humans are quite patriotic, holding strong loyalty to their home countries and peoples. This isn't necessarily bad, I just find it interesting that so many people from so many places have this tendency. I think it's...
