The Girl with a Nothing Box
A Nothing Box is a place where you can literally just sit and think about nothing, literally absolutely nothing.

Overcoming Family Abuse
It was easier for me to say I was fine, I didn’t need help, and to say I forgive than to verbalize what had happened. The day I chose to tell my mom what had gone on, was the day I chose to let it hurt. And it hurt like hell. But it was worth it!

Rocks 'n Rapids
In a split second, it was too late for such a plan, as I slipped off the rock that I was standing on and into the rushing currents. Now, at this moment, it would have made the most sense for me to freak out. Yell!?! Scream for help!!! DO SOMETHING!!!! But I didn’t.

BILLT different

The True Meaning of Christmas
Hello, I am writing this blog because I feel that the majority of people do not realize the true meaning of Christmas, especially in the secular world we live in. If you asked random people off the street what the true meaning of Christmas is, they probably could not tell you.

The Heavy Doors
She stretched her whole little body up to reach the handle, which was as big as she is and held it with one hand while the other little hand wrapped around the door itself.

City of God Book Review
For the same reasons the Christians read The City of God 1500 years ago, we can read The City of God today. We must, then, review The City of God under the principle by which it was written.

The Moon and the Sun
When the sun goes down and the moon can finally be seen, the light that is given off from the moon is the light that it received from the sun. The moon just reflects the light of the sun.

The Ark of Mary's Heart
“It’s time to enter the sanctuary of the Immaculate Heart of Mary”. Riding out a storm takes on a whole different meaning when you are in a safe place. It’s time to enter the ark not made by human hands. It’s time to enter the ark God is providing for you and me at this time in history.
