What Good Friday Means for Us Today
I could've written a post about the incredible power that Christ demonstrated through His resurrection or a post about the importance of focusing on victory this Sunday. But I want to focus on Good Friday for this post. I want to take a look at the seriousness and significant implications of this day.

Confessions of a Seriously Flawed Blogger: My 1-Year Blogiversary
I'm quick to note the sins of society and my friends and my family, but I’m slow to note my own failings. I don’t realize how much I sin in a day, but I do it more times than I can count. I don’t realize how many things I think, say, and do that displease God.
