Expectations of the Season
What does the Christmas season promise you this year? We all have an expectation even if we rarely pull it out to look at it.
For some it’s the expectation of a credit card bill that takes too long to pay.

Some dread to go shopping.
Some delight in family visits that are all... >Read More

Mike on University Life:
University was a great time for me to come into my own. I had lots of fun! I remember thinking there are 16,000 students on campus and at least 8,000 are women, so I should never have a Friday night without a date...

My spiritual journey:
I've always thought about God - even if I didn't have a conclusion about it.
I remember when I was 7 years old, I was sitting on a fence when a neighbor girl came up to me and asked me out of the blue, "Do you believe in God?" I didn't know what I believed, so I covered... >Read More

Spiritual snapshot
Facing my "ugly self"
I can't remember a time when I didn't talk to God. Maybe this had something to do with the fact that believing in God and going to church were just a natural thing in my family's daily life.
I like my life as it is now. The thing is that I definitely did not like my... >Read More
