For the better part of a decade, my husband and I had made it a point to not celebrate Valentine’s Day on the actual day. One, because we both feel it’s sort of a silly, gimmicky holiday to begin with, and two, we have decided to come up with [...]

I am not bulletproof. That should be no surprise to anyone, but it sure is a disappointment sometimes. Invulnerability is one of my favorite superpowers to play with in fictional universes. If someone were to be truly impervious, what would that mean for [...]

I have a very specific rule about Christmas music: I am not allowed to listen to it until after December 1st. It’s not that I don’t love Christmas music. Who doesn’t, after all? There are so many great, classic tunes — some extolling Christ’s birth, [...]

From the moment I saw the trailer for The Greatest Showman, I knew I wanted to write about it. I could see it was going to have a great message. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to write one of our official Bible studies about it, and didn’t [...]

Let's break down the spiritual impact of dating sims.

I know I’ve started another post in a similar fashion before, but If you post a selfie and no one likes it, was it ever even posted? It comes as no surprise that this generation is just a little bit addicted to their smartphones. And why wouldn’t we [...]

Compassion, unity, and finding peace are core traits God wants the world he created to possess. God has never and will never give up on any individuals who possess faith that He is alive in this world. The core tenant of the Christian religion is that God [...]
