Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about our family dynamics, traditions, and if there's such thing as a 'perfect family.'

Behind the Scene:
The biblical story of Samson is a rich tapestry of divine calling, human weakness, betrayal, and redemption. Found in Judges 13–16, it is one of the most dramatic narratives in scripture. Samson, a man of immense strength given by God, was ultimately brought low by betrayal, but his story holds lessons that resonate far beyond the ancient world. Often, the focus rests solely on Delilah, the woman who deceived him. However, this reflection seeks to uncover a hidden actor in his downfall—the hand that physically cut Samson’s hair. This perspective unearths a deeper layer of wickedness and draws moral and spiritual lessons that are just as relevant in today’s world.

No Place Like Home (Full Version)
Raindrops broke the surface tension in the pool, piercing the water in tight circles and dissolving into nothingness. So began our Christmas Day this year – a dreary sunless sky composed of silence. No sounds of laughter, holiday greetings, or excited dogs. Just a disquiet peace. I made coffee and started to make breakfast hoping the smells of biscuits and bacon would rouse the rest of the sleeping family.

Tales of Hearth
It was stormy, continuously snowing. The town almost seemed to have become a mere solidified, quiet world because of the snow heaped much against the wall. There was a little house settled by the edge of the forest, however, which had put in opposition to that cold. The windows were bright with warmth, a glowing house in the bite of the night.

The Last Leaf in the Wind
The Last Leaf in the Wind The air was sharp with the bite of late November as the townsfolk gathered in the square, scarves wrapped tightly and breaths visible in the cold. Children chased each other with laughter while their parents sipped hot cider from steaming mugs. All eyes were on the ancient oak tree at the heart of the town, its wide branches bare except for one stubborn leaf that clung to the highest twig.
