The Phone Call that Should’ve Been You
The phone rang at 2:17 a.m.—that strange hour when the world feels hollow, when silence becomes heavier than sound. I wasn’t asleep. I hadn’t really slept in weeks. My body lay in bed, but my mind lived somewhere between memory and hope, in that fragile space where you still believe someone you lost might suddenly return.

Digital Integrity
The Storm Of The Modern World The digital world is both a miracle and a battlefield. It connects people across continents, gives voice to the voiceless, and allows truth to travel farther than any single messenger could reach in a lifetime. Yet it also magnifies pride, anger, and cruelty. What once required courage to say face to face now pours out through keyboards without restraint.

Sharing The Spotlight
Hi, everyone! Welcome to part three of my series, "Sharing the Spotlight"! I started this series as a way of giving other stories another shot at being seen. I do not have a huge platform by any means, but I enjoy sharing what I've enjoyed reading. This is my way of giving back to the community that means so much to me.

Necessary Truth
The Foundation Of All Thinking Every human act of reason begins with an assumption. The assumption is that logic exists. When we say something is true or false, when we draw conclusions or recognize contradictions, we rely on fixed laws of thought that we did not invent. These laws are universal, consistent, and independent of personal opinion.

When Logic Becomes A Weapon
The Rise Of Performative Reason We live in an age where people worship logic but rarely use it with integrity. Reason has become a stage performance rather than a search for truth. Arguments that once served to clarify reality now serve to elevate ego. Debate has become entertainment. Outrage has replaced understanding.

Mid-Life Crisis? . Top Story - November 2025.
Happy birthday. Your life is half over. What now? On November 2, I woke up to find I had turned 45. I'm not quite sure how that happened; I swear yesterday I was still in my thirties. But I did the math, and I am in fact 45. By quickly reviewing my family history, I confirmed my fears. My father, grandmother, and two great-grandparents only lived to their mid-sixties, two great-grandparents hit their late seventies, my other grandma and both grandpas died in their mid-eighties, two Great-Grandparents got to 88, another to 89, and one made it all the way to 90. Based on those statistics, it's a safe, and sobering, assumption that my sojourn here on earth is half over, and that's being optimistic. So as one often does at this stage of life, I felt the day called for a little self-reflection. What have I done with my first 45 years and what do I plan to do with the next?

Good Faith in a Bad-Faith World
The Collapse Of Civil Discourse Everywhere you look, conversation is breaking down. Words that once served as bridges are now weapons. People no longer speak to understand; they speak to win. To admit uncertainty is to invite ridicule. To ask a question is to be branded as weak or ignorant.

The X and the Treasure
There is a story that exists in almost every culture on earth. It is the story of a map, a mark, and a treasure buried beneath the ground. The map is dismissed as myth, the mark is ignored or defaced, and the treasure waits in silence for the one person patient enough to dig. I have come to see truth the same way.

The Restoration of Order
Civilization rises or falls upon one foundation: the moral order that governs the human heart. When truth is exalted, families thrive, justice endures, and love becomes the highest expression of unity under God. When truth is abandoned, chaos fills the vacuum. The world does not collapse from external enemies first. It collapses from within, when its people forget the sacred laws that make harmony possible.
