The Story of the Queen of Sheba: A Fictional Retelling
The finest gold, the most unique trinkets she had never seen before, harps and lyres, precious stone and wood, and more—all to top the gifts she had brought, as this was the tradition. Though her riches in wealth were multiplied by this visit to the great King Solomon, she gained far more in spirit.

Reflections on the Coronavirus: Hitting Close to Home
Regardless of where you stand on “preparedness”, the sheer disregard for community is against what we stand for as a nation. What’s more, it’s against what many of us stand for as Christians.

Thankful 30: Day 6
I’m thankful for talents. Everyone has something different. I watch my siblings bicker about who is better at certain things, and I see something that is wrong with society as a whole: we are too busy comparing. You have something special about you.

Being Christian About Halloween
My perspective on Halloween has changed to many forms over my life. As a child, I enjoyed all things horror and strange. I often watched movies like Poltergeist and Nightmare on Elm Street with my grandma…when I was 3. My grandma, for some reason, saw nothing wrong with allowing me to just watch whatever she […]

A Woman in the Christian World — Period Talk
My old basketball net is beside the storage room at my grandparent’s house. It was given to me by my great-grandpa for Christmas when I was 5 years old. I won’t ever forget that Christmas because I remembered looking around at my cousins who were opening their pile of presents and thinking, ”they all got […]
