Tying the Old and New Testaments together – a clearer understanding of Easter

Easter is a time for great celebration in many Christian families. It is the time we hear sermons about the death and resurrection of Jesus and how He washed our sin away - making it possible for us to be with Him forever in Heaven. To many people the Gospels are known as the Good …

Not Mine but Yours God

Sometimes I do things and I don't really know why I do them. That was the case when in August 2020 I submitted an application for my work's Emerging Choreographer's Program (or ECP). As I write this, we're sitting a few weeks till show - a show where I will throw a piece I have …

Sharing an Experience

I am very sad. I'm sad, tired, discouraged, and sometimes even angry. It has been almost two years since COVID first appeared in our country; forcing people to stay home, separating us from things and people we love. I'm not going to pretend it's been easy. I know it hasn't. I was talking to someone …

Looking back to see God’s Hand

Something my pastor likes to do is The Examine where he encourages us to look back on the last twenty-four hours and reflect on where God showed up. This is a practice I have slightly modified for this time of the year. For me 2021 was indeed a difficult year. We said goodbye to my …

Connecting the Dots

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 I started a new journey this past March. For those who have looked over this entire site, you may recall the page that talks about the Young Writer's Workshop I have been a part of since it began in 2017. …

Moral Treasure Hunt 7

I never fully understood the famous thought that goes with dogs – that is until I got my own. Those that knew my beloved Cyrus knew him as a loyal, faithful, loving dog. The very definition of “man’s best friend.” Cyrus’s very existence taught those that had the pleasure of knowing him timeless lessons; lessons …

The Birth of a Passion

A few years ago my family went to Kentucky. We did many fun things while we were there, but for me the highlight was the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. I grew up going to church. I knew the Bible well but in Kentucky, something happened in my heart that keeps growing. It is a …
