The Real Deal about Truth and Freedom

For the past few weeks, I have been fortunate enough to stick to the routine of reading a verse from the Bible every morning and reflecting on its message. It has been wonderfully enlightening, to say the least.  Last Wednesday, this was the verse that greeted me when I opened my Bible app...  If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.   ~ John 8:36  To say that I was stunned is an understatement... but then, I shouldn't have been. Ever since I can remember, whenever I'm struggling with some ethical or moral dilemma, I always get an epiphany of the answer. In my youthful pride, I thought "Wow, I'm brilliant." Not knowing it was not actually me but God who was guiding me to the answers. It took me a while to realize this and thankfully when I became an adult, I did. This time was one of them. You see, I was struggling. Four months and still counting, my father and I have been forced to endure each other's company for weeks on end. Outsid...

Roused Back to Life... Hopefully

I guess it's been over half a decade that I've posted anything here. I haven't stopped writing actually. You see, I get paid to write... as well as fix what other people write. So it was only a matter of time that I get sick of it once in a while. And yes, the joy of writing for myself sort of faded over time until... it completely became a big hulking ominous void. Kidding! At one time in my youth, I'd probably interpret things that way. But I've shed that "emo" self a long time ago. The truth is that life happened... responsibilities and bills got in the way of hobbies and spare time. And it just lasted for quite a while, I guess. This year, however, presented to me an opportunity to go back to old loves, and hopefully, I'll really find the time and perseverance to keep at it. Bonne chance (to me)!
