The Last Decision (Leviticus 24)
Right now God sits above the circle of the Earth. He sees my cubicle, my stoplight, and those cars, but He also sees the past and He sees the future. He sees suffering. He sees suicides.

Dangerous Ground (Exodus 34)
Summary: Of all the things I hate in this world, one of the things I hate the most is working out. It's hard, it's sweaty, it's painful, and I almost always get acid reflux. Yet, I do it. I once joked with someone that I only work out so that I can eat more food … Continue reading Dangerous Ground (Exodus 34)
A Tale of Sins Past (Genesis 42)
Summary: History, while never my favorite subject, was always a cool one. It is the story of us, the story of life and humanity and the mistakes and catastrophes that took place along the way. You get a funny feeling of superiority as you read about how some government or king or individual completely messed … Continue reading A Tale of Sins Past (Genesis 42)
