Ask lots of questions. Why wouldn’t you? People can say no anyway, that or you’ll get an answer and learn something new. Obviously you should be tackful and considerate of your questions, but if your question falls in line with these two metrics it should be fine. I asked a lot of questions in school and growing up in general. From trying to better understand lessons, to trying to better understand the world around me. I see the value in asking questions of others not only to learn more myself but also to encourage them and myself to think more about the issue at hand.

…is coming. As I patiently keep on working on finding an apprenticeship, I feel like I just know that something wonderful is in the works. I am so happy to be thinking about what the soon to come future will bring. What will my apprenticeship actually be like, what will my new living space be like, will I miss not seeing Minnesota out the window? I have prayed over this whole situation so much. I’m excited, to God be the glory.

I’ve always wondered what i could be good at that I haven’t tried yet. Am I a great surfer, that hasn’t taken the time or had the chance to try? Someday we’ll see. Is the kid who lives on the beach and struggles to swim actually a terrific artist, and/or hockey player? Is the adult who has lived in the city their whole life actually a stellar equestrian? Who knows, and maybe there’s evidence against my theory, but what if. Ideally everyone would have the chance to try new things, but this just isn’t how it is. Nor am I suggesting that it should be required that everyone gets a…

These are my thoughts from the sermon I herd this morning at church. 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again[b] he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3 The 2 words back to back communicate the absolute certainty of the claim. Another spiritual truth in this passage is that we’re born again. Jesus is the giver of life.  5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3 This has to do with how we are reborn out of baptism and belief. But our salvation is based on our faith alone.

Blog about how everything can be comedy from politics to sports, to hobbies, and everything in between. It might seem obvious, but I think when you start to see the humor in more areas of life, you start to let your guard down for the better. Comedy is so fun, I love thinking of puns and I think this is the best example of how many contexts it can present itself in. You can make a pun anywhere, and even if people groan, its a great icebreaker. Lately the good comedians I’ve seen on YouTube and such, not only make tons of puns, they make fun of something they’ve seen…

Hey friend, if we live a ways apart this one’s for you. I have friends in at least 4 different states, that’s not a brag, it’s simply an acknowledgment and a chance to say I’m thankful for each of them. It’s been fun to visit people across the country lately. It makes me truly love even the simplest of trips. I love staying with friends in their homes, and doing normal life, and fun things around their home with them, even the grocery store in some cases to enjoy food together at home. It’s fun to message long distance friends, they’re one of the notable reasons I am so thankful…

I’ve said it before that sometimes learning on YouTube is the way to go, sometimes reading is the way to go, sometimes listening to music is the way to learn, and there are numerous other ways, but I’ve noticed that although its can be awesome to learn from others we also teach ourselves, and “make our own curriculum” in some ways. I put this in quotes because it’s not at all about the university experience, its about discovering what the tools you need and learning what you need to know to succeed. I just taught myself how to draw lines in Adobe today, I didn’t watch a video, I’ve hardly…
