What If (Part 2)
What if we stopped giving our opinion and started giving our time. What if we actually became the person we portray on social media. What if we stopped protesting everything and started leading by example. What if we made time for God as much as we make time for TV, eating out, and our smart […]

The Day We Will Never Forget

Doe River Gorge (Summer 2013)
Reblogged from One7Blog: Nestled deep in the mountains of East Tennessee, a place of unparallelled peace and tranquility exists where youth from all over the country go to be physically and spiritually challenged.

The Letter
My dearest love, I can’t even put into words how much we miss you. Each day passes by as if the clock on the wall has come to a grinding halt. Horrible as that is, the nights are even worse. I toss and turn for what feels like an eternity. It’s just not right without […]
