Several years ago, I went to a Sunday School workshop. I don’t remember too much about what was said, but one saying does make frequent appearances in my daydreaming. People are not looking for friendly people, they are looking for friends. I have just finished a round of monologuing, which I do when I’m working […]
There are many things that I learned in school: math, some business, computer graphics, much of those types of lessons I use regularly. There is one thing that I don’t like knowing. By itself, it might not be all bad, but I saw it abused many times. In elementary school, we had to take open […]
We hear about God a lot, but how much do we know about Him? Who is He, and what has He done? That is what I AM WHAT I AM does into details about. When I first saw this book, I was excited about reading it. An in depth study about God and the promises […]
It is common to think that your actions will not affect someone else, and that you can live life just for yourself. However, at the very least, it is easier when you cooperate with others, and you actually find more than you were expecting when you do. Anne Elisabeth Stengl tells of Eanrin, the chief […]
I don’t know how many posts I have thought about writing here, only to forget what they were or have them fizzle out right after I started typing. Some of them I keep as drafts and come back to later. I have a few drafts almost as old as this blog. It can be pretty […]

Toys, clothes (pink appearing in the men’s department), why are we trying to make everyone equal in all things? Yes, God counts us as equals, that is not […]
Imagine taking your family, leaving the world as you know it behind, and going someplace that is entirely different. All because God told you to. To most of us, that sounds like God is pushing it, but it does happen, and Hilary Alan tells her family’s story in Sent. They left their comfortable lift to […]
What happens to your faith when you face the unimaginable? Does it remain steadfast? Do you continue to trust that God knows what He is doing? In Micah, Dani Ramsey tells the story of here son, and how he faced pain and death, yet never wavered in his devotion to God and His plan. Experiencing […]
Time to live up to the random part of this blog. I wonder about people. Not how they’re doing, but why they’re doing it. I hear about kids I know asking why they get disciplined when they do something wrong. They often complain about the punishment because it isn’t any fun. I have heard of […]
