Go Gators!

If there is a place I am missing, it’s home. Go Gators! “There is nothing eleven can’t do with 90,000 standing behind them”-Florida Football Today is the Florida v. LSU game. Big rivalry; it’s a big deal. I am super excited for the Gators! So far, they are kicking some serious, LSU butt. I am listening toContinue reading “Go Gators!”

In Honor of Mrs. T’s Life

For [s]he will never be shaken; The righteous will be remembered forever. Psalm 112:6 I believe I met Mrs. T on a Thursday night. It was a Thursday evening when I pulled into the Hope Lodge behind the university hospital. I parked and got ready to roll up my sleeves. The Hope Lodge is whereContinue reading “In Honor of Mrs. T’s Life”

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I woke up and stared out of my window. The day was gray with a dark green hue. Rain was falling steady.

He hasContinue reading “A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply”

Skin Deep

By: Gabriela Yareliz I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the past. I am doing this thinking it might help someone because it’s slightly mortifying for me. I really believe that when God blesses you, you should pass it on, and share the blessing with others. So, I thought I wouldContinue reading “Skin Deep”

Hero

By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we discourage people even though we mean well. Often, we can’t see when people are really unhappy because all we see is what we want for them. We keep pushing them out of love, not out of malice, because we think we know what is best. I heard Wilson Wilson Jr. tell Tim Taylor a quote: “You don’tContinue reading “Hero”
