MUST SHOW ID TO VOTE
To begin, I want to give full disclosure that I am far from an authority on the topic of politics, but my purpose of this post is to shed some light into what I believe is an epidemic of voter negligence. I am a proponent of parents of children being … Continue Reading MUST SHOW ID TO VOTE
The Weight of Death
In a world where death is common, one would think that you would get accustomed to the reality that things die, people die, and that death is not a new concept. We go on with life, day in and day out, all the while knowing that our day to look death … Continue Reading The Weight of Death

Praiseworthy Enough?
I have a question I have been mulling over lately, a test, if you will. The test? “Is catastrophe praiseworthy?” My hypothesis? “Praiseworthiness can only be validated through the good that comes through God.” One can not simply make a hypothesis without verifying it through empirical data. Let me share … Continue Reading Praiseworthy Enough?

Fear, Anger, Hate and Suffering

Why Do We Do What We Do?
As many individuals begin to realize the world around themselves – one would tend to (hopefully) notice that this world is not rotating around the beauty of them. History has proven otherwise.
