not afford to show her that. “What changed?” I asked her because I was genuinely curious. “He found out I was a necromancer, I raised a teacher that committed suicide from the dead after that he did not like me anymore.” She explained to me her brown eye looking back up to me blue ones they looked haunted. I walked away from her thinking that was a shitty thing for Vincent to do and I must confront him about it at dinner. Dinner was the same as it always was. I waited for Vincent to come…
Muhammad Ali is insisting that ‘impossible’ is used as an excuse to avoid taking on new, seemingly difficult endeavors. In one part he says that ‘impossible’ is used by people who “find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it.” This indicates that people use this word to do what they know they can in this world, and count everything they supposedly can’t as impossible. Ali says that they have the choice to validate more activities as…

Young Victor would spend the entire journey back to Castle Godwin replaying in his imagination the stories he had heard while in the capitol. Today his majesty could scarcely utter three…

I may be seen differently in the North American culture based on my deep brown skin or the thick course texture of my hair and even the way I view the world but in true reality, this does not take authority over me. The authority comes from the risen King, Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. He loves every one of us just the way…

Because Brown’s father was impassionedly opposed to slavery, his family moved to a district in Ohio which would later become known for its anti-slavery views.

John Brown was committed to the abolition of slavery at a young…
