About this Blog

I oftentimes find myself feeling as if I am drowning in a sea of brokenness. Financial strains, familial tensions, and the like, oftentimes distract me from who I am in Christ, and furthermore, what I am called to do as His servant. Scripture repeatedly teaches that a part of my calling is to offer up my body as a living sacrifice, and this includes giving thanks for the blessings in my life to the loving God who bestows them. My life needs to be one of joy, one that actively pursues beauty and appreciates all things, even those that are commonly overlooked.
With this blog, I hope to take myself and anyone who reads it on a journey in which each and every day I find something to do, or see, or make that is beautiful and can be deeply appreciated. Then, I will give the beauty I find as an offering of praise and thanks to the Lord by writing about it here on this blog. Check back each day for a new post! I hope that what you read here will inspire you to appreciate life more and actively pursue the beauty that surrounds you, even in the midst of brokenness.

A Study Break...in blog form





I'm finishing up Plato's Republic tonight. It's getting late. Nevertheless, I kind of love my life here at Biola, so it's all good. :)

According to Plato, education is the turning of the soul from vice to virtue. I like the sound of that. I should think and write more about my philosophy of education. Later, though. Not now. Time to go read.

Also, I'm listening to The Civil Wars...again. They are now my favorite band. I now have an answer to the question, "what is your favorite band?". I am very happy about this.

Here's something to think about: why do you get educated? why do you go to school each day? what's the point? to get smarter? if so, why go to school to learn things you can just look up on google? so why go? I think I know...or, Plato does. what do you think?
