By: Gabriela Yareliz How do we measure life? I was reflecting on this when Ranier Wylde’s words came to me. Wylde discusses Sisyphus. His piece is great, and it reminded me of how much Stoicism has impacted how I think of things in the world. When faced with a dilemma, I do often stop andContinue reading “Make Meaning”

Game Six (Category 5)
The Carolina Hurricanes reached category five, and they swept the VGK with no mercy. By: Gabriela Yareliz We all underestimated them, but they came ready to grind like a good Southern team.

I got this new conversation game from Wilde Paper that I wanted to open,Continue reading “An Opening”
What the End Looks Like
By: Gabriela Yareliz Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. What does this time remind us of? Even when we are confused, God is doing His thing. Our confusion doesn’t mean a plan is halted. The disciples thought the world had gone insane. Jesus was right on track. He knew exactly what He was walking into. Sometimes,Continue reading “What the End Looks Like”
