  • Guard Your Heart

    This week I completed my NLS. Also known as NL, this abbreviation stands for National Lifesaving Society. It’s the course that certifies you to be a Lifeguard. Honestly, the course was amazing. I never used to enjoy swimming lessons, but rescue training, that I could do all day. And I’m very glad to say that, all glory to God, I… (Keep Reading)

    March 11, 2020

    The day everything changed. Looking back now, I honestly cannot believe it’s been 4 years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thinking back, I remember assuming that 2020 was shaping up to be a normal year. I was young, I was homeschooling, I participated in a church program on Thursdays, I was a major sports fan, and everything seemed… (Keep Reading)

    What are you looking at right now? Is it perhaps an iPhone? Or maybe an iPad? Or what about an iMac? Well, there’s one thing all three of those devices have in common, and it’s not hard to guess: they’re all Apple products. (Plus they all start with the letter ‘i’.) And each and every one of these inventions can… (Keep Reading)

  • How Long Must We Wait?

    How Long Must We Wait?

    This Sunday my Nana broke her wrist. Yeah, not fun. She was walking on a not-so-great road, tripped, tried to break her fall, and… As a result, she and my Papa drove into town to wait at the Emergency Room (ER). Now if you live in America, you probably don’t share the pain of dreadfully long wait times, but… Nana… (Keep Reading)
