  • The Unbelieving Believer

    The Unbelieving Believer

    This morning I wept silently. It must be a little of what Jesus felt as He wept for the unbelief of the nations. My heart is sad for the world because I know that all we need is Christ, but Christ is the only thing we do not invest in. What does the way we…

    Good Politico: is having character actually important?

    There is something to be said for consistency. As people, we used to think that having good character was a respectable thing. With our new entertainment and our political trends as of late, we have proven that character is not truly important to us. We praise our actors for pretending and we are quick to…

    The Pilgrim’s Relevancy Book XI: self promotion

    “What’s going on?” Christian asked as they approached. They stopped fighting long enough to answer the question. News pointed at Film, “This guy actually believes that his farces are more influential than the facts!” ________________ Book I    Book XII ________________             “That’s not what I’m saying,” Film erupted, “I am saying that your reports…

  • The Coyote: competition actually limits success

    The Coyote: competition actually limits success

    I remember the silence. Only the breeze could be heard whistling over the hill and through the trees and the sun barely gazed over the horizon. It was that part of the morning when everything looked like a silhouette against a dim purple backdrop. I sat against a tree, hidden from the world looking down…

    Christian and his companions stepped out of the building only to see a strange man looking intently at his cell phone while walking. The trio watched him as he nearly ran over Witness and even then he was hard-pressed to look up from his phone. ______________________ Book I, Book XI ______________________             “Technology will kill ya,”…

    The Summit: the truth about American individualism

    The sight was beautiful and as a man in a thick jacket pulled on his harness and looked toward the summit of the mountain. “Click,” he made sure his harness was secure and walked toward the base, picks in hand. He looked up again, for it would be the last time so that he might…

  • Imago Humani: my dream to be human

    Imago Humani: my dream to be human

    I opened my eyes and saw them looking at me. I recognized their features, but I did not understand what I saw. They smiled and seemed to celebrate my awakening, “It is good,” the told one another, “It is very good;” yet I did not seem complete. Their happiness seemed beneficial, yet something I was…

  • The Pilgrim’s Relevancy Book IX: bad preachers

    The Pilgrim’s Relevancy Book IX: bad preachers

    Christian, Critic and Witness left that place and came to another city: Power. As much of an idol the misconstruction of love became, power ran deeper. Power was a place where self-love was prevalent and where people used the concept of love to control others. “This is my home-city,” Critic admitted as they entered, “It…

    Drawn In: Is Being Too Busy Wrong?

    “Ahhhhhhhhhh,” the only woman in the room drew a deep breath as she woke up and opened her eyes. She sat up on the only bench in the room and looked around at all of the blank, white walls. There were no doors or windows, only the bench on which she sat; but it was…
