Chris Fabry Live! Crazy Commitment

By: Gabriela Yareliz I really enjoyed this program. Marriage is not having the tingles, it’s crazy commitment. It’s getting down in the mud together. This commitment can only come from God.-Chris Fabry Live! (paraphrase; Oct. 10, 2013 program) Click here to listen to the interesting program.

Thoughts for Today: October 2, 2013

Great Tumblr quotes: “There is no designated time for anything in your life. You don’t have to have your first kiss at any certain time, you don’t have to get married in your 20s and you don’t have to do anything just because other people think it’s best.

It came upon the midnight clear

By: Gabriela Yareliz This may be a bit cryptic and philosophical, but I will share anyway. (And now worries, it has nothing to do with my fabulous law school.)

Hurricane Sandy hits and the days after

By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello beautiful friends! My story begins with empty rooms and a lobby filled with students clutching their candles and flashlights. This is how we arrive to the scene: It has been such a long while. Well– not really; but kind of. It has been a crazy week to say the least. AfterContinue reading “Hurricane Sandy hits and the days after”

Disturbing the Universe

By: Gabriela Yareliz This should probably go under the “Chronicles of a Law Student” page where I update about things that go on as a 1L, but I found this to be so powerful that I wanted to share generally. Today I watched an excellent documentary on a controversial lawyer who defended civil liberties andContinue reading “Disturbing the Universe”
