The began the long and protracted trip on the Monday of Spring Break. My family each can stand each other, but not long enough to travel for that long with them considering the fact that the vehicle used was designed to fit 4 people and there was six of us!
The trip lasted about 12 hours each day over the period of two days. Each day I slept for about 4 hours.

We had this amazing spot that had a bridge that we made and everything. We were bringing further supplies to add on to the spot and make it look more visually appealing. When we arrived at the park we brought all of the supplies down under a bridge.…

    I find myself fascinated listening to this man. I sit here amongst a crowd of hundreds of men, women, and children. We are all amazed at the knowledge that he speaks. The man changes his tone and compares himself the bread that fell from heaven and the water that came from the rock. The rabbi next to me is angrily talking to me as if I did something wrong.…

    I must say, you’ve really come quite a long way from where you started. I was a little weary of you at first.

If I were you I would have stayed with the widow.…

    “You can start whenever you’re ready” The boy looked down at his pale, shaking hands, then up at the ceiling. Anywhere except for the man with the clipboard in front of him. They had told him that if he came here, they would leave him alone. He took that to mean no more blinding lights being shown in his face, no more fake smiles, no more lies. “My mom made me some sandwiches.…

Even at 5 years old, I was aware of my decision to follow Jesus and accept him into my heart.…

    I’ve always had the impression that fairytales were innocent stories of finding true love and living happily ever after, like the way Disney depicted them to be. I never thought about where these stories came from and the different themes and symbols that were relevant of that time. Some of the things I’ve learned about fairytales have not only shocked me, but has also made me reevaluate everything I know about fairytales.

I’ve always associated them with a younger audience so thinking that these stories were written for adults enjoyment is really crazy to believe.…
