Photo Journalism

If there was one profession I could go into, if I never had to worry about money for raising and supporting my own family someday, I would choose photography. I just got back from a walk on some of the bluff trails behind Carter… and yes, I did loop around and stop by Jackson Pond. […]

Blown Away

Four more days until spring break… five more days until my sister gets married. What ever happened to those days when we all hung out and acted crazy? Whatever happened to the days when we would go buy a gallon of ice cream and three spoons and just go at it? What happened to the days […]

Like a Kid Again

I never thought I would feel quite like a kid again when I came to Covenant. My goals and responsibilites were focused on getting an education in which I could someday find a career and provide for my family. My priorities shifted upwards a few notches as I began to focus primarily on what I came […]

One of my friends sent this picture to me of when I played piano a couple weeks ago. More than anything, I just thought it was a really artistic picture…and being the photography fanatic that I am, I thought I would share it with you.

I miss the days when I practiced an hour every day, […]

Constructive Criticism

One thing I have never understood is destructive criticism. We all know what it is and what it’s like to have it dealt to us. Why do people find benefit in criticizing without offering a solution to a problem or what they think is something that needs to be changed?

Branching Out

Tonight was awesome… or should I say, last night was awesome! :)
The Diversity Group at Covenant went bowling down in Chattanooga. I wasn’t going to go at first - I was going to head down to Greyfriars and do some studying. But after talking to my RA who is also part of the Diversity Group […]

Integrity Above Reputation

Have you ever struggled with your self-esteem? Have you ever had that nagging feeling in you that just kind of tells you that you’re worthless and that you don’t really mean anything to anyone?
I have… I always worried about what people thought of me. I would try to change who I was and the things […]

The Existence of God

What do you tell your brother when he begins to doubt the existence of God? What do you tell them when they see no reason to believe in the infallibility and truth of the Bible? How do we know that the Bible is God’s Word… or that the God of the Bible is the same […]

“When I Run I Feel God’s Pleasure”

Thank you, God, that’s its Friday… and I can have the chance to enjoy a beautiful weekend! It’s beautiful up on the mountain right now. The sun is starting to set, and all the trees are that bright orangish/yellow color. You know what I mean? It’s amazing. I went for a run a little while […]
