He threw it to me of all people. Maybe it was my red cap with the letter “I” on it or my jersey, buttoned tight against my stomach, that boasted a portrait of Chief Wahoo across the chest. Or maybe it was the way my red and blue stood out in the sea of black and white and my gaping, toothy smile was louder than any shout; it was my arm that beckoned forcefully for the ball or my eyes that begged. I was so surprised that I almost dropped it back on the field. I attributed their loss in the next…

Hawaii. A ravishing bizarre tropical paradise with sceneries you would die to look at. If you love to be in a tropical paradise, Hawaii is the place to go to.

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…

On May 9th, 1800, Brown was born into a deeply religious family in Torrington, Connecticut. 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.
