One Way

There are a lot of hypocrites in this world of ours. Some are in the Church, some are in the World. And the latter has become abundantly obvious with the 2016 elections coming up! But several people I know have recently been struggling with the hypocrisy they see among Christians. They see someone who claims Christ, yet harbors great anger. They experience the sting of gossip and slander from those who claim to be their brothers and sisters in Christ. They ask the questions, "How can these people truly be Christians?" and "How can God be who He says He is if His followers act like this?" The older you get, the more you will see this hypocrisy in the world around you. But is that it? Is nothing real or genuine because of the people who claim to follow the Truth and yet...don't? The short answer is no, of course not. And the longer answer... 1. We have to start by looking at our own lives  How many times have I disappointed others? How many times have ...

This place is amazing!! Dear Friends and Family, Though many of you have already heard, it is my great pleasure to announce that I have been accepted to attend the Sight & Sound Conservatory’s 2017 class ! I’m writing this letter for two reasons – firstly, I’ve talked with many of you about what this venture entails, but not all of you!

What is the Sight & Sound Conservatory ? The gorgeous theatre in PA! The Sight & Sound Conservatory is a very unique musical theatre school within the larger company of Sight & Sound T...

A couple months ago (when I first started writing this post!), I was watching one of my favorite shows on Netflix and something horrible happened. My favorite character turned out to be a bad guy. And not just a “bad guy”, but a really, really bad bad guy! You may know the feeling - you’re sitting there, just chilling, and all of a sudden you’re screaming at the screen, and your family looks at you like you’re crazy! I was furious. More furious than I think I’ve ever been at a TV show. I was furious that this character had so totally deceived his team…and me. He was a hero - a great guy who seemed to honestly care about the safety and well-being of his team…and the leading lady. He was considerate, though cold at times, brave, and had endeared himself to the entire team, and saved their lives multiple times. But in truth, he was only a fraud. A traitor. And a dang good one. This episode was interestingly timed, as just a few days before, I’d listened to an interview on Focus on t...
