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.

The Sequel Begins

By: Gabriela Yareliz Changes are interesting, and they are particularly interesting when they are a more “permanent” kind of change. This summer was great (I have so many photos and insights to share post-bar exam; I promise, it’s coming soon). Summer is about to conclude with the bar exam. I still think of the yearContinue reading “The Sequel Begins”

Independence Day

“God has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.” C.S. Lewis By: Gabriela Yareliz I believe in a human race that was created with the greatest expression of love which is freedom; freedom to choose.

A.D. The Bible Continues

This is going to be quite the premiere on NBC on Easter Sunday. I have no idea how Biblically accurate it will be, but I would like to check it out. Watching this sneak peek from the series reminded me of my intense journey through the Bible right now. The truth is, the Bible continuesContinue reading “A.D. The Bible Continues”

Reflections Before Bedtime #14

By: Gabriela Yareliz I was just reflecting on the past couple of weeks. Man, 2015 has been so intense. It has been a test for me; mentally, spiritually and physically. This past week, I almost missed class twice because my body ignored all alarms, and I kept sleeping. Exhausted much? My 90-day Bible Challenge hasContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #14”
