From the way I see life (and many others for that matter), the most impactful years of a person's life are in between the ages of 18-22. When you're in these years, no one quite knows what to call you. You're getting out of high school where most everything you did had to be okayed … Continue reading The Most Important Years of Your Life

Did You Know?
Did you know that there are over seven billion people in the world today? While it can't be 100% confirmed, many demographers believe the number of people alive today outnumbers the amount of people that have ever lived and died before the 1950s combined. Did you know that among the 7 billion plus people alive today, there are over 16,000 … Continue reading Did You Know?
Embrace the Journey
As I sit here in my dorm room, I'm blown away by the thought that in less than a week I'll be leaving Moody and Chicago for three months.

Three Reminders When God Closes a Door
Today, I'm writing this on the first day without classes for spring break. I'm sitting at home in Bondurant, Iowa on a nice spring day. But I'm not supposed to be here.

The father held his son’s hand tightly so as to keep him from running out into traffic. The sight that caught my eye was not the father, but was the son.

What’s Wrong with the World Today?
In the early 1900s, The Times newspaper put out an article titled, “What’s Wrong with the World Today?” In response to this, famous author G.K. Chesterton wrote to The Times saying these simple words: “Dear Sir, I am. Yours, G.K. Chesterton.” How could such a wise and well respected man say this? Obviously he wasn’t … Continue reading What’s Wrong with the World Today?
Wounded Healers
When I think back on this past month, I’m amazed at all that has happened. In such a short time, God has stretched and grown me in so many ways.
