The Back Burner
I just recently watched a show called Worst Cooks in America. I think I liked it because I felt like Gordon Ramsay or Guy Fieri compared to some of the people on the show. And trust me, that’s saying a lot. My go-to meal is chicken tenders with rice and a side of either green

The Shredded Artwork
In 2018, the art world witnessed a crazy moment: a Banksy piece called Girl with Balloon sold at an auction for over $1 million. But just seconds after it was sold, the painting began to slide through a hidden shredder built into the frame. Right in front of the audience, half of the artwork was

The Firefighter
I have always admired firefighters. Every day, they put their lives on the line, ready to run into the flames, smoke, and crumbling buildings to rescue others. They run toward what most of us run away from. That kind of courage is inspiring. The crazy part is that we normally don’t think about them until

The Endless Rally
Galations 6:9 “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” I’ll never forget the day my dad and I hit a badminton birdie back and forth 2,000 times without letting it hit the ground. It was perfect weather with

Step Back Up to the Plate
2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” Over the weekend, I had the chance to referee a couple of 1st and 2nd grade coach-pitch baseball games. While some of the kids were hitting the ball with confidence, I noticed one

Room to Move
I remember going to my first ACL fest in 2016. I saw a few rappers, including Chance the Rapper, Drake, and J. Cole for the headliner. One thing I remember was how uncomfortably crowded it was. There was no room to move. People were shoulder to shoulder, packed in so tightly that even shifting my

Persistence
Luke 18:4-5 4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’” When I was in middle school, before smart phones,

A Game of Inches
They say in most sports that an inch can determine a win or a loss. In football, it’s the difference between a touchdown or a turnover on downs. In basketball, it can mean the difference between a two-pointer and a three. And in golf, an inch can be the difference between a birdie or par.

Finish Strong
One of the hobbies I enjoy is running. A couple years ago, I completed a 10K which is 6.2 miles. Not only was it a test of my physical limits, but completing the race gave me a deep sense of accomplishment. There was no greater feeling than running across the finish line knowing that I

Write Down the Vision
Something that I have done since middle school is writing down all of the inside jokes and funny memories that I have with the people closest to me. On my iPhone, I have a folder titled “Inside Jokes,” and when I get together with my friends and family, we have the best time laughing over
