It’s Friday morning. Thank you Jesus! I’m not normally a TGIF type of guy, but this week has been looooong. My schedule is busy between work, church, and the gym. It feels like I rarely see my apartment. I revel in Saturdays because I actually get to sit down and relax. Even then I plan…

Meet You Halfway
I’m not a particularly big fan of compromise. Let me explain. When it comes to God and His Word, it is absolute. There are no loopholes with God. You can’t do what you want want (against His Word) and expect no repercussions. Thus, anything that causes me to compromise my salvation or the standards God…
A New Day
It’s Monday morning. I’m lying in my bed wishing I would have slept here last night. I like to frequent the floor. Anyways, I popped on Facebook for a morning check. It seems as though people are starting to get back to some semblance of normal. After the figurative blood bath that was the 2016…
Influence
The past couple of days people have reached out to me to discuss the election results. People know exactly how I feel about it as I’ve expressed myself quite soundly. I’ve had respectful discussion even though our opinions may have differed. I expect nothing less from myself. What surprised me is how people receive my…
We Will Rise Above
It’s been an emotional week. If I thought people were nasty before the election, then I surely was not prepared for the storm of ugliness that awaited me after the election results. Personally, my emotions were all over the place. Anger. Sadness. Dejection. Disbelief. Numbness. I was even on the verge of tears. It wasn’t…
Regression
Donald J.Trump is the 45th President of the United States, and that makes me sick. I have so many emotions running through me right now. Anger. Sadness. Despair. I’m sitting here asking myself how a candidate who is so hot-headed can be chosen to run our country. I’m baffled at how the hatred of his…
Election Day 2016
The day we have waited for since last year is here. It’s time to go vote! We’ve endured what stands be one of the worst presidential campaign seasons in modern history. Whether you’re conservative or liberal, you probably have looked at a friend (even a relative in some cases) sideways for their choice of President….
America the Beautiful
As the 2016 Presidential Election races to the finish line, I feel like we should take a moment to reflect on the state of our country. I’ve previously written about America being one nation under God, and I received mixed reviews. I put the article up on Reddit (in the Christan subreddit might I add),…
10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Me
Earlier today I asked about you. What makes the readers of A Fresh Voice tick? We are all so diverse in our thoughts, styles, and expressions. It’s important to learn about one another. That way we can engage in meaningful conversation. Especially if we know how to communicate with each other. Since I asked about…
Peace
Last night was one of those nights. Sleep eluded my grasp at every toss and turn. I’m staying in a hotel which means…….people. What I would assume were young twenty-somethings were loud. Doors were slammed. Voices were carrying on boisterously in the hallway. Sleep just didn’t want to be my friend last night. I tried…
Everything is Okay
Grief is a complex emotion. If there’s anything that stuck with me from my Adulthood and Aging classes, it’s that one fact. People grieve differently. Some eat. Others sleep. Some may cry. Or they’ll pick up a new habit to fill the void they feel in their heart. People become angry and defensive; unanswered questions and…
Happiest of Birthdays
Today I turn 32. Well, technically I’m still 31 until 7:13 am. Nonetheless, God has blessed me to see another year. For that, among many other things, I am thankful. Words cannot express my gratitude for being alive; something I think we take for granted often. I’m sure you could name a few people who…
