Faith… I’ve come to learn is easy to understand but when asked to be implemented is truly difficult. Is faith really required for a twenty something year old male living in western society. Why do I need belief in something when I already have everything? Needs of a stable home, good health, happy family, consistent … Continue reading Adrian
God is mightier than the waves
How blessed is the apostle Paul… He was bitten by a snake, thrown in prison, abused, beaten and stoned. We have this man that most of the time we read about him, is going through some real struggles. He’s very rarely in a strong state physically. Now you’re thinking blessed? Really? Well he certainly counted … Continue reading God is mightier than the waves
my 10 smelly friends
Sitting in the chair prior to my first root canal, the dentist correctly sensed the tension and anxiety in the air.

the simple life
Who doesn’t want the simple life? I know it is constantly talked about in my household, “let’s just go live on an island, drink coconuts and eat fish,” says Adam. Now, I know that is not super realistic but living in a world where everything is at our finger tips, it is so easy to … Continue reading the simple life
I can believe my eyes
Do you ever sit there sometimes and question your faith? Over thinking, questioning why you believe in a God that you cannot see?

Today our lives have become so busy. We have dreams, ambitions, careers and relationships that require our attention and energy constantly. We strive for things far greater than everyday essentials. We take for granted the essential things we need in life.
