Happy 4th of July

Happy Birthday Great Nation. We have come a long way. We began as a nation made up of immigrants. People here found refuge, freedom and hope for a better future. We had dark moments. If one looks back it was not too far back that we had minorities disenfranchised. It wasn’t even a hundred yearsContinue reading “Happy 4th of July”

More than you take- Joseph the king of dreams

A single voice, Is joined by multitudes in song, With every verse, They’re finding harmonies that rise to Heaven sure and strong. Richer and richer the soil on which they thrive, Higher and higher a hymn of what it means to be alive You’ve got to give a little more than you take, You’ve gotContinue reading “More than you take- Joseph the king of dreams”

To hold a letter

By: Gabriela Yareliz I like writing letters and leaving them for my mom. I don’t think people today realize how meaningful it is to receive or write a letter. To have a piece of that person that you can keep, smell, read, over and over again…It is gorgeous. Handwriting conveys so much more than aContinue reading “To hold a letter”

Invasion

By: Gabriela Yareliz People want guns to guard them from an invasion. Just in case. An invasion of what or by whom? Some say China, others Iran, and some even say our own government. Regardless of what people’s stance on guns may be, I wish people realized that there is a more serious invasion goingContinue reading “Invasion”

Quote of the Day: Ravi Zacharias

“Mahatma Gandhi made the comment that of all the truths of the Christian faith, the one that stood supreme to him was the cross of Jesus. He granted that it was without parallel. It was the innocent dying for the guilty, the pure exchange for the impure. This evil cannot be understood through the eyesContinue reading “Quote of the Day: Ravi Zacharias”

Cultural Relativism and the Emasculation of Truth: Ravi Zacharias

By: Gabriela Yareliz AGE OF REASON I have been listening to this series by Ravi Zarcharias, Oxford University Scholar and Professor, called Cultural Relativism and the Emasculation of Truth. He starts off mentioning so many different news headlines, like the ones of children killing others, and young people mindlessly killing peers and even family membersContinue reading “Cultural Relativism and the Emasculation of Truth: Ravi Zacharias”

Favorite French Women

By: Gabriela Yareliz Growing up a Francophile made me pay attention to the culture, food, music but also the women who were iconic. My favorite French women: 1] Marion Cotillard-because she is pure brilliance, passion and achievement (and her hair is always amazing). 2] Juliette Binoche-because she is a powerful and real performer. She canContinue reading “Favorite French Women”

Letter to India

Dear India, When the 23-year-old medical student from New Delhi had her life shattered, many hearts were broken with her rape and death. I hope we meet someday. For now India, please prosecute the men who did this; seek justice; seek justice for each case that keeps getting uncovered. Unfortuantely, she is not alone. HerContinue reading “Letter to India”

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.) I think everyone has something that tries to trap them. Something that has been a part of one’s plan or hope maybe one’s entire life; whetherContinue reading “It came upon the midnight clear”
