Personal Post: Following Faith
If you’ve been watching the videos I’ve been making to create an alternative version of my blog posts, you’ve likely noticed that I’ve been using video backgrounds that are typically beautiful sceneries that include water in one way or another.

The Crime of Conformity
I’ve spent most of my life inside of systems.

Life is More Like Burger King Than Denny’s
A few times during the course of my life I’ve heard the phrase “you don’t fill my cup”. This rather innocuous phrase is an indirect pointer to the way our society has evolved over the last century as we become more and more consumer centric. One of the most dangerous mindsets in the world is […]
