Instead of continuing the path of hate and violence, we must stand in the way and block it. That is what we are called to do. Though it may be against how we feel, our feelings must be put aside to stop the vicious cycle. When we stand up and let it hit us, it will hurt and leave some bruises but its the sacrifice we must make in service of goodness and truth.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ. On Tuesday, some of my friends were involved in a serious car accident. They were going through an intersection late at night, and a drunk driver sped through a red light and t-boned them, causing the car to spin and hit a building.

Sacramental Geology →
I feel like I’m advertising or something…but I decided to create a new blog called Sacramental Geology to accompany a body of work that I’m creating right now.
As an artist, I find that I identify with God the best in the role of Creator. Therefore, I have a fascination with creation (who doesn’t really), but specifically the Earth, its elements, and the forces that govern...

iam3rd asked: For the anon, I might suggest looking into Rachel's Vineyard for further support in post-abortive healing. I've heard wonderful testimonies about their programs.
Anonymous asked: I had an abortion in September 2010 when I was 17. I knew I was not ready for a child but I still debate with myself whether or not I made the right choice. Is that considered a sin in God's eyes? I don't go to church on a regular basis like I did when I was younger but I do believe in God and I'm slowly starting to go back to church. But I feel... I don't know how to explain...
