Today is the day before Easter and in my opinion, it’s one of the most significant days of the year. To be clear today is Saturday. The forgotten day of Easter weekend. Today was the day of darkest despair for followers of Jesus. On Friday, when Jesus died, I'd imagine things hadn't yet sunk in.…
Most of us have been to Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, or Target. I certainly frequent these stores much to my budget's dismay. One of my favorite sections is the wall art and decor department, also known as the "I Can Convince Myself I Need This Department." One of the things I picked out from this…

The other day I had a revelation that had never occurred to me before. All my life I thought Satan wanted people to go to Hell for two main reasons: Misery loves company. Satan knows God reigns over all and Hell was created for him, therefore he wants as many people there with him. Satan…
Consider this blog Part 2 of "The Secret of Being Confident." It's been awhile since I've written that blog, but Pirates of the Caribbean 4 came out four whole years after Pirates 3, so I think it's still okay.
