Do Not Fear Stepping Out of the Box

I think all major inventions and successes have been from people who thought outside the box. They ventured to go “where no other man has gone before” (sorry, had to put that in there). But all clichés aside, in order to achieve a goal we will eventually have to step out of our comfort zones.

Pray Without Ceasing

First Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to “pray without ceasing.” I have to say that through my life,no matter how frustrated I get, I try not to stop praying.

I talk to Him when I get up, when schooling isnt going quite the way I want it to, when I am confused, which unfortunately happens a lot, when I am happy, etc… I am constantly talking to God.  Read More...

Seven Irritating Things About "Noah"

I went to see the movie “Noah” last Friday. I have always liked the history of Noah and the ark. The true meaning is one that a Christian can identify with because we are in many ways like Noah. I have a Tom Dubois print of Noah’s Ark called “Celebration” hanging in my office. I chose this particular painting specifically because I wanted a realistic depiction of Noah’s Ark. I was tired of all the pictures that portrayed the event as a nursery school story or some type of fairytale. So it may be obvious why I would not like this movie.

Many people are talking about the news that Phil Robertson was discriminated against by A&E in suspending him from the television show “Duck Dynasty” based on his religious views that homosexuality is a sin. A&E stated, “His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong
