Ekphrasis Post – Lightning Over Water
Prompt: Ekphrasis post. Ekphrasis (writing about another art form) – Find a Flickr Image in Creative Commons that inspires you in some way (positively or negatively) and free write about it. Give yourself exactly 15 minutes to write without stopping. Don’t think! I chose this picture from Art.com for a few reasons. Firstly, lightning is…

Laughing Out Loud
Prompt: LOL post. Write a post about a moment that made you laugh. Or a video, picture, blog post, or something else that made you. I am a huge fan of laughter. I mean, who doesn’t like to have fun?

My Own Personal Tagline
I must start this post out with some background information. First and foremost, you must know that I have an unusually small head. Yes, it’s true. Even the doctors were concerned when I was an infant. My mom promised them that I was smart and was developing well, but that didn’t mean much coming from…

Fruit of the Spirit: Gentleness
Our bible study group has decided to take some time to look at the so-called “fruit of the spirit” as listed in the book of Galatians – and to study each one of these fruits, evaluating the prevalence of each in our own lives. I hope to be able to share parts of my study…

Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen to Good People?
**This is something I put together my first year of college. Although it is not a perfect or complete answer, I think this serves as a good starting point for a response to the so-called “problem of evil”. My intent was to give those questioning the goodness of God based on the pain and suffering…
