Friends: Our Chosen Family
Friend: Definition According to most dictionaries, a friend is a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection. True friendship is not one-sided. Each person respects and looks out for the other's well-being. The relationship is stronger than just knowing someone or being acquainted with a person. The relationship goes much deeper than that. In order to be a true friend, three components must always exist.

Binational Couples
Being in a binational couple is often described as exciting, enriching, and deeply transformative. And it is. But behind the romantic idea of two cultures meeting, there is a daily reality that few people truly talk about: communicating, loving, and building a life together when you do not share the same language, the same cultural reflexes, or the same emotional codes. In binational couples, love is rarely the problem. Communication is. Not because people do not want to understand each other, but because language and culture shape the way we think, argue, joke, express emotions, and even show affection. What feels obvious to one partner can feel confusing, cold, or excessive to the other. The good news is that none of this is a dead end. With the right mindset, binational couples can become not only stable, but deeply fulfilled, because they learn a form of emotional intelligence that many couples never have to develop.

While uncertainty still looms, the truce has offered space for reflection, prayer, and modest celebration—elements that have long defined Christian life in the besieged enclave.

Mommy, are we there yet?
Do you travel to see your family for the holidays? It's almost Christmas, and we are on the interstate, traveling to see friends and family. Most of them live out of state but today is our second day on the road to grandma's house.

The Black Sheep in a Circle of Wolves. Content Warning.
It’s the holiday season. A time for families to come together and share joy and memories. And give thanks for all the blessings they receive in life. My cousin has been hosting the Thanksgiving festivities at her house for a while now, so going there has become tradition. I couldn't tell you what it's like. I've never been invited. So while my family enjoys turkey, ham, stuffing, alcohol and togetherness, I sit here. Alone. In my bedroom. For I am the Black Sheep of the family.

Where My Heart Learned to Stay
My home does not stand out on any map. It is not famous, grand, or celebrated in photographs. Yet, to me, it is the center of the world—the place where my life first learned its shape, where memories cling to walls like quiet echoes, and where my heart always returns, no matter how far I wander.

The Hidden Gospels:
What if the Bible we know is only half the story? What if Jesus spoke in secret code because humanity wasn’t ready to hear the truth — that the real enemy isn’t sin, but illusion itself? The banned Gospels tried to tell us this centuries ago, before power rewrote the script.

What Happened to Meaning?
I’ve been sitting with this for a long time, and I think I finally understand what feels so wrong—not just socially, but *internally*. This isn’t about politics. It isn’t about religion. It isn’t even about gender the way people usually frame it.
