By: Gabriela Yareliz Our hearts are so heavy with grief, we don’t know where to look. Spiritually, you feel the darkness. I am tired of seeing Christian children killed in worship and going to school. I am tired of seeing law-abiding citizens get killed and criminals turned loose and defended. I am tired of theContinue reading “Overwhelmed with Darkness”

The Right Question
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on a coaching call not long ago, and as a particular issue was being discussed, the coach’s question was: “What does love do next?” You could have heard a pin drop.

They are cultural moments of significance. It draws the question— where did this flow from? This post is not so much a criticismContinue reading “One Does Not Hold Truth”

This was a wildly good message out of Mosaic.
A Middlemarch Summer
By: Gabriela Yareliz There she was on the train, staring into her copy of Middlemarch by George Eliot. I like Middlemarch. I even read my favorite New Yorker writer’s book that pulls themes from it, Rebecca Mead’s My Life in Middlemarch. Virginia Woolf (one of my all time favorites) said that Middlemarch is “one ofContinue reading “A Middlemarch Summer”
