I might be old fashioned, but I think bringing your Bible to the church is important. The Bible is our guidebook, our standard.

If you can carry your phone and wallet to the church or everytime you leave the house, you can bring your Bible as well.

I am working on getting more patience in the traffic, both as a driver and as the right-seat passenger. This morning I was driving back from school and kindergarten and I was really relaxed knowing that I...
My Stages as a Programmer

My Stages as a Programmer

I don’t know about other programmers, but I find myself in two stages quite randomly. 1 – I love programming. It’s the stage where I feel like the world can change with my lines of code. The stage where I say, “Wow, this is cool, I can automate this because I know programming, let me...

For the first time since… forever, today is the first time when I left home for a few days and forgot to pack my laptop’s charger.
