Yesterday in church our pastor made the comment, “the events outside of your control are often what you will be remembered for.” I thought for a minute about that. Our modern day heros include those who ran into the Twin Towers to help people during 911, or a soldier who goes over and beyond his [...]

By jOe in PhilosophyingSo, I decided to do this thing. I realized I don’t really care about starving people in the world. I want to care, but I don’t. Facts are facts, right. As a result I decided not to eat today [Monday]. And it’s really working. Every time I feel hungry I think and pray for the [...]
