Many go; whether broke, well off, employed, unemployed– August is jet-set time. I got lucky that I got a special gift from above (after all, the Bible says all goodContinue reading “Bar Trip”
Reflections Before Bedtime #35

How the Sequel Began: Part II
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was standing on the street waiting. I was waiting for the real estate agents who were supposed to meet me at that particular apartment.

By: Gabriela Yareliz I was sitting on the train, looking out at the dark, graffiti-filled tunnels it goes through.

#MoodAmyCarmichael
“To the glory of His name let me witness that in far away lands, in loneliness (deepest sometimes when it seems least so), in times of downheartedness and tiredness and sadness, always always He is near. He does comfort, if we let Him. Perhaps someone as weak and good-for-nothing as even IContinue reading “#MoodAmyCarmichael”
This Month’s Picks: July 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Goodbye July, and enter August. I typically think of August as a month of new beginnings (it’s the student in me). July was crazy intense.
