  • Meeting Both Online and Offline: the Way of the Future

    I remember a lot of debates as to the importance of meeting together and what the right course of action for churches was, in regard to in-person or online gatherings.

  • How a goal has led me true

    This is my story on aiming for the goals I set. For many students at the end of their high school years the question asked of them (at least once a week) is what they have set as their goal.

  • Safety in Isolation

    Isolation and distancing is the order of the hour. The tension remains as many of us wonder if we’ve acted fast enough to prevent the tsunami of cases seen in other countries.

  • Resisting abuse of power and corruption

    The topic of corruption has been a big topic in our news, both at home and abroad.
