The Debates

With the political debates around the corner, I think it's time for a political post.

As a passionate person, I have strong beliefs about everything. Particularly on the topics of capitalism, international relations, and human rights.

However, above all, I believe that the pursuit for intellectual enlightenment and respect for all people is far more important than the pursuit to be "right".

My hope is that after the debates, we will all walk away with a greater knowledge about what is going on in the world and that the candidates can put mudslinging aside for a healthy conversation that presents unique, actionable strategies to help solve the problems in the world.

Love is a member of our little family

The realization came while driving in horrible traffic the other day and I was utterly frustrated by it all. Suddenly, a peace filled my heart and I became completely relaxed.
I realized that throughout my life and my marriage, if times were hard or if times were great, through prayer and reflection on God's truth, God saw us through and guided us to a place of love and peace.
It was hard at times, but God has brought meaning and unity to our little family. More than I ever anticipated having.
My greatest desire in life is to show love and bring peace to those around me. Because when you take the time to see the forest through the trees, I have come to realize, that is all that matters.
