By: Gabriela Yareliz Last night at church, Erwin McManus reminded us of something powerful— our hope and anticipation for the future is tied to whether we believe God is good.

Contribution
By: Gabriela Yareliz Why does the world breathe easier today because you are in it? This was a question that came up in Dr. Amen’s brain course, which I am finishing up.

“Entitled people are never happy.” Dr. Amen brain course By: Gabriela Yareliz We live in a “blame-y” culture (borrowed the term from Emma Grede). It’s someone around us who is to blame or the government. We complain about things for precious hours we won’t get back. We become overly absorbed in pointing and feeling cheatedContinue reading “Whole”

“With courage, you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity.” Keshavan Nair
A Reminder from Tara Schuster
“People who tell you what’s impossible are just announcing their own limits. Your possibilities are yours to define.” Tara Schuster
We Honor
By: Gabriela Yareliz Most of the names and faces I saw in these rows were between the ages of 18 and 22. Today, we honor and remember. The men and women who sacrifice do it for country and the fragile essential— freedom.
