“We put all this pressure on ourselves after watching movies where a girl moves to New York at the age of twenty-three and somehow has a job that you could only get if you have fifteen years of work experience. She lives in an apartment you could only get if you were a literal millionaire.”Continue reading “The Seasonal Shift”

Forgiveness
“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them.” Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray By: Gabriela Yareliz You know what a fun nostalgic watch is for me? Just Shoot Me! Nina Van Horn is forever an icon. I have been rewatching with my husband inContinue reading “Forgiveness”
“A Culture in Turmoil”
“Charlie Kirk was a human being. He was a dad and a father. His wife is now a widow. His two children, because of how young they are, will not have a personal memory of their dad. That’s been stolen from them by someone who thought they had the right to kill another human being.Continue reading ““A Culture in Turmoil””
Overwhelmed with Darkness
By: Gabriela Yareliz Our hearts are so heavy with grief, we don’t know where to look. Spiritually, you feel the darkness. I am tired of seeing Christian children killed in worship and going to school. I am tired of seeing law-abiding citizens get killed and criminals turned loose and defended. I am tired of theContinue reading “Overwhelmed with Darkness”
Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Thursday! Given the short week and packed trains (thanks to school restarting), we are all disoriented.

“Leadership isn’t about control. It’s about responsibility. And the weight of that responsibility gets heavier the more people you lead.” Erwin McManus
Father
By: Gabriela Yareliz Alex Ikonn asked Asma Khan how she became a confident and secure woman filled with so much love; how she grew to have self-love. Her answer moved me. She said, “I believed my father.” No matter who your father is/was, what I find comforting is we have a Heavenly Father who hasContinue reading “Father”
Transmitting Feeling
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw The Aviator recently (for the first time). I think the most impressive parts of the film are the details that make the viewer feel what he is feeling. When he focuses on the bright lights; the photographer bulbs exploding; the crunch of the broken glass; the blueprints flashing through hisContinue reading “Transmitting Feeling”
The Violence of Growth
“Growth is violent like that. It doesn’t happen without endings. Without death. Without the parts of you that are clinging to control finally being ripped away. So I’ll ask you: how many times have you already died? And maybe… the next chapter of your growth is waiting for you on the other side of theContinue reading “The Violence of Growth”
