Christmas spirit by Packer

Christmas is fast approaching us and sometimes we can get caught up with everything else that’s happening around us. There can be finals, family time coming up, gifts to buy, etc. Yet we can overlook that Christmas was the climax of the story that God has told since the beginning of time, when Christ entered…

1 Thess 1:1

I’ve been reading though 1 Thessalonians for a while these days and thought it would be cool to type up my thoughts on what I’m reading. I guess it’s basically my own commentary on it. This is basically for myself and anyone who wants to simply read what I think of when I’m reading this.…

How to Choose a Christian Fellowship

I have encountered many students who are still not involved in a campus Christian fellowship and are floundering like fish gasping for air when it comes to their walk with God. Many aren’t in one simply because they were paralyzed by the choices and couldn’t choose. I want to write about what I believe are…

One of the woman describing herself, and the other from another person describing the first woman. It was quite amazing to see how different each of these descriptions were and what was…

Prayers for Boston and the World

Honestly, it’s been a bit crazy to hear about the bombing in Boston. The bombing have luckily killed only a few people, but still a few too many, because things like this should not be happening.

Teachers in education – hard stuff

Is education unfair? I don’t know since I’ve never lived anywhere else but in NYC it’s definitely true. Many teachers are scared to go into the rough neighborhoods and work there. When I was in the youth group of our church a lady from our congregation spoke to us one time and she was a…

More problems than just education

So I’ve spent a good amount of time with my mom who worked as a social worker in Philadelphia for about 6 years. One thing about social workers is that it’s a ridiculously tough job and you don’t have regular work hours. Once you know the problems in the neighborhood you can’t separate yourself from…

My Short Experience with the NYC Education System

I’ve always had some thoughts here and there about our education system, mostly from my own perspective of course. In my life, from what I can remember, I’ve been to public school for the first two years of my education, then private for 5, and starting from middle school on public education in NYC. When…
