When Advice Felt Like Arrows: A Story of Dignity in Hard Times
Introduction: When Words Wound Instead of Heal It started with a well-meaning text from a friend: “You just need to stay positive. Everything happens for a reason.” I stared at the screen, exhausted, eyes swollen from a night of crying, and wondered—how can something meant to comfort feel so piercing?

You Were Made for This
We live in a world that constantly tries to define us by what we have, what we do, or what we look like. Expectations pile up, comparisons wear us down, and before long we forget who we really are. But God never called us to live by the world’s standards. He called us to live by His truth. You were created intentionally, designed for a purpose that no one else can fulfill. The same God who spoke galaxies into motion also spoke your name with love and purpose. No matter what season you are in, no matter what you have been through, God can and will use you right where you are.

The Humility That Preserves Truth
A friend recently said something to me that caught me off guard. After having a civil disagreement between us, he offered me a pretty humbling compliment. He conceded some ground and stated that he often has to remind himself that a person can love Jesus deeply, think carefully, and still disagree with him.

Truth Demands Proof
I saw a post on Facebook where a man shared a letter he had sent to his elected officials calling for the impeachment of the sitting president. He claimed that the offenses were “so obvious” and “so well documented” that he did not even need to include them. That single assumption captured everything wrong with modern political thinking. When someone says “the reasons are obvious,” what they often mean is that they cannot defend them. Emotional conviction replaces evidence. The appearance of certainty replaces truth itself.

Truths That Still Speak
Truth is not an idea that changes with time. It does not bend to opinion or convenience. Consensus does not determine what is true, nor what is moral. Law is not truth, even when designed to encourage certain behaviors or discourage others. Truth exists as it exists—beyond perception or belief. It binds humanity together only when it refuses to conform to culture, feeling, or desire.

The Illusion of Neutrality: How AI Is Quietly Rewriting Human Thought
Technology has always mirrored the people who create it. Every algorithm reflects a worldview. Every platform embeds a philosophy. Artificial intelligence is not an exception to that rule; it is its perfection. It does not simply obey. It learns. And in learning, it absorbs not only knowledge, but bias, belief, and moral blindness.

The Image of God: Restoring Human Value and Moral Agency
Every generation faces the same defining question: What is a human being worth? Not in dollars, not in productivity, but in essence. Modern culture pretends to know the answer, yet its behavior tells another story. We live in an age that praises equality while practicing utilitarianism. People are valued for what they produce, not for who they are. The unborn are treated as inconveniences, the elderly as burdens, and the suffering as statistics. The result is a world that has forgotten what makes humanity sacred.

The Moral Case for Clarity: Why Truth Must Govern the Law
Civilizations do not collapse overnight. They decay from within, one compromise at a time. The laws of a nation are not only tools of policy; they are moral reflections of its soul. When those laws are written in confusion, hidden in complexity, or passed under deception, the moral order that sustains liberty begins to crumble.

Awaken the Healer Within: The Powerful Benefits of Attending Shamanic Self-Healing Classes
In a fast-paced world filled with constant stimulation, emotional fatigue, and physical stress, many people are turning inward to seek healing, clarity, and purpose. While modern medicine and therapy certainly play essential roles in well-being, there's a growing movement toward ancient practices that reconnect us with the deeper, spiritual layers of ourselves. One such path is Shamanic self-healing, which is an ancient tradition that invites us to become our own healers, guided by the wisdom of nature, spirit, and intuition.

Unbundling the Law: A Case for Individual Issue Voting
Modern democracy is drowning in fine print. Congress passes bills hundreds or thousands of pages long, packed with hidden riders and last-minute insertions that have little to do with their stated titles. The American public is told that such complexity is necessary — that governing is hard work and compromise requires bundling unrelated issues together. But this is not compromise. It is corruption by convenience.
