Do you ever wonder what kind of legacy you will leave after you pass away? This is kind of morbid to think about. As believers, we know this world is not our final home. So, how should we live our lives with the time we have on earth? Thankfully, I

Have you ever had a big trip to look forward to? Last year, the director of my work team planned a surprise one-day trip for our team of thirty people. We knew very few details about the trip beforehand. What we did know is that we’d be flying on a
Have you ever started to talk, dress, or act like the people around you? When I got to college, I noticed girls wearing choker necklaces, bomber jackets, and ripped jeans. Of course, I started buying and wearing the same things. I’ll admit that I still love a good trend. It’s
