Sunday mornings I like to wake up early. It’s the one day of the week when I consistently wake up early. I enjoy a cup of coffee, read my bible, and get prepared for our gatherings at Creekside.

Lonliness is what leads people to make destructive decisions, it’s what leads toContinue reading “Value of Community”
Driving (rambling thoughts)
I drove for a long time late last night. I like driving. It’s very relaxing to go on a long drive by yourself. The downside is that you have to make the long drive home by yourself too. The plus side is that you are going home. There are few things as cool as drivingContinue reading “Driving (rambling thoughts)”
