One day I found myself having a conversation with someone who told me life was too short, that they enjoyed all the pleasures offered to them, and that I should loosen up a little. Although we should enjoy life, this should be done prudently. We mustn't lose focus as to why we are really here;… Continue reading The BIG Picture

I've been very pensive for the past few days, as a result of a thought I can't seem to shake. This life we live is so short in comparison to eternity, yet it is this short moment which determines where we'll end up.

We may never see the fruits of our labor here… Continue reading Working Enthusiastically

This word is defined as something so precious that its value cannot be determined. Our souls became priceless when Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice, yet we devalue them in exchange… Continue reading Priceless
Not Of This World
Going against the flow is LITERALLY very difficult to do. In fact, common beach goers know that the only way to get out of a rip current is to swim with the flow.
