I spent nearly six hours in the Emergency Room on yesterday because of breathing difficullties, and I saw for myself the overworked conditions for nurses and doctors due to this pandemic.

To meet this goal meant attending college full-time, which required I take three classes, or nine hours, a semester. Last semester, I took a full load, and although... Continue Reading →
Peace that Surpasses Understanding
It has been a while since I felt at peace, and part of the reason was I felt I needed to be true to what I felt was God's will in my life. Even though writing two blogs is time-consuming, I find it invigorating, because I am rading my Bible each day and being reminded... Continue Reading →

Going to College is Hazardous for My Weight
As I finish my classes, I am famished. Having lost over 20 pounds this last year, I want to keep the weight off. But nearly every place to eat on campus or within a mile of the campus is a fast-food restaurant that the young people love. I understand that fellow students from ages 18... Continue Reading →
Going back to College, as a Student, No Less!
