Soon after our conversation Brad showed up with Pastor Otto and food. Normally we would have a choice on what we wanted to eat, but since it was so late the night before they didn’t get our orders, so we all ate the traditional breakfast, while Brab and Otto talked about a few things. Even though none of us had planned on doing anything that day we ended up having to go to our sites right after we finished breakfast. The only thing we were told was, “I was not told what you would be doing, only that the churches expect you to be there. So once you're done eating go get anything you need and then load up on the vans with your team and a jug of water.” Everyone was close to done eating when he said that so those who were done went and go things

    In many ways, individuals often struggle against their fears. The time I experienced this was when I used to ride steers a couple summers ago. It was a hot July day and my dad and I had just finished helping my Rodeo queen sister get ready for carrying flags to start off the rodeo. After when we walked over to the stands to get ready for their riding, I was gearing up to ride one of those beasts they call steers, thinking I was going to get killed.…

Living in a neighborhood was the greatest advantage, but having kids the same age as I was even better. There was never a time we weren't outside: rain, shine, snow, miserably cold, or even scorchingly hot. There was 4 of us: 3 girls and 1 guy, all around the same age.…

    “Mia can you go walk A field and the corral?” my supervisor asked over the walkie-talkie as I finished bringing in fifteen excited dogs from group play. By this point I had already walked more than a dozen dogs, fed half the kennel, and taken out over a hundred dogs for one of their daily outings. I was exhausted and now I had to pick up a field full of dog feces.…

    The trips were unplanned, as I have traveled to 13 different countries in four continents of the world. At least that was something to brag about after returning home from six years of military service. I would talk about these moments in a heartbeat when topics related to travel surface in conversations. Remembering and reliving those moments brings great fulfillment. Usually, there's a moment in life where I experience home in places I've visited.…

    There was not a single piece of leather furniture that lacked an intricate map I had scratched into it with my grubby four-year-old fingernails. Every wall and flat surface had Sharpie murals of vast cotton candy skies and family trees made of dogs as soon as I discovered how to hold a pen. My parents never tried to stifle my creativity. They urged me to pursue artistry and offered every tool conceivable to develop my creative skills. Growing up hearing my father jam out on guitar and watching my mother lose herself painting silk (among the many other hobbies they both tend to), my inspiration never ran dry.…

    The first time I had a phone I was in elementary school, and had it for about 2 years. Then as life moved on, and events took place, I was not allowed to have one, and did not have one for almost two years. When I was in fourth or fifth grade I was allowed to have another one and kept it until the sixth grade. My dog had torn it apart, and because of financial reasons, there was only one phone in the house, between three people, and it was a old slide up phone. Not a touch screen…

    One of my main goals is to pursue a career as a prestigious lawyer, fighting injustices throughout not only our Nation but the world as well, helping those in need, and one day I hope to accomplish that goal. Throughout life many children are faced with questions surfacing around what they hope to be in the future. At a very young age I had discovered that one day I would want to become a very successful lawyer, however, it wasn’t until my first year of college that I decided that I wanted my career to be focused on helping those who were wrongly convicted and in desperate need of a hand of help. In the fall semester of 2017, I’ve had the privilege of attending a convocation in which Bryan Stevenson spoke about his career journey into becoming…

    Then the MC said a prayer for the offering and the Ushers passed around the offering plates. This was slightly different because at my church we use offering bags that are passed down each row. Following the offering, a few of the church leaders gave words of appreciation to their Pastor. Once again, the leaders seemed to personally know their Pastor…
