God even cares about the little things!

So what’s all this hype about this red moon? I went online to check it out and to see, and found out that it would be something pretty cool to experience. I mean who wouldn’t want to see the moon turn red, right? So after getting super excited about what it was, I decided that…

SHE LOVES ME NOT

I don’t know about you, but there have been times in my life where I have been interested in a girl and thought “Wow, she is absolutely amazing and I think I could marry this one!” My mind starts to wander into lala land and I begin to imagine a life with this girl living…

Special Soap…

Today was an extremely busy day with soooo much to do and so little time to do it. So I walked into the mall and tried to stay focused on getting what I needed, and then get out as quick as possible. As I walked in, this mall was pretty big so I went up…

A game of HORSE

We were doing a prayer walk around the school to pray for favor amongst the community and the church, so that hearts would be softened to hear the gospel. As we were walking I looked over to see a beat up basket ball court with net-less rims and a piece of wood for a backboard…
