Dreams and Reality
I have big dreams. But I must also live in reality. I’m not saying this because I’m dissappointed with my reality. I’m saying this because I need to remind myself that my reality is pretty amazing as well. If I followed only my dreams then I would miss so much of what happens around meContinue reading “Dreams and Reality”
Why I Follow Jesus
I am not ashamed to call myself a Christian. Something that I’ve been realizing while I practice my hobby stand-up comedy is that there are a lot of people who do not like Christians, Christianity or church.

Great perspective
Read the whole post here. This is part of the dialogue between John Chrysostom (347-407 AD)and Empress Eudoxia: “You cannot banish me, for this world is my Father’s house.” “But I will kill you,” said the empress. “No, you cannot, for my life is hid with Christ in God,” said John. “I will take awayContinue reading “Great perspective”
what are you afraid of?
All my life, I’ve been told that I’m a funny person. And I like making people laugh, but I have never been successful at writing jokes. I am afraid of trying to be funny and failing. I want to overcome this fear, and I want to do a comedy open-mic. Just writing that sentence scaresContinue reading “what are you afraid of?”
