“Are you okay?” I snapped back into reality to see a young woman standing close to the vending machine in the baggage claim area. “Oh… I’m fine, thanks. It’s just been a bit of a frustrating day.” [It started off by realizing that my debit card was not in my possession, which sent me into … More He didn’t even care.
Five. Five. The number spun in my head as I wandered around the grocery store. To be honest, I don’t even remember driving into the parking lot or entering the store. I wandered around the aisles, looking pointlessly at the displayed items. I didn’t go there for a particular purpose; my subconscious just led me … More Five.
I love puppies. Always have, always will. The first step to becoming a real adult was the realization that I could now get a puppy without even asking my parents’ permission or approval.

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love endures forever. When the clouds fog over the windows, His love endures forever. When the rain pours down and won’t relent, His love endures forever. When the mud of the road becomes impassable, His love endures forever. When the plants of the earth become … More His love endures forever.
Dear mother and daughter duo, Hi. I saw you recently at my favorite amusement park. You seemed to have enjoyed a fun-filled day full of thrilling rides and family entertainment. I noticed that you stopped at the end of the day to take some pictures. Most people do. I thought about capturing the end to … More People are not objects.
Six months ago on this day, I stepped foot on this island for the first time.
