  • The Safety of Christian Colleges

    It’s disappointing to see that every single Christian college I was pointed towards at a teen now has had some major sandal regarding SA or mistreatment of abuse. These were the colleges that I was suppose to be safe at. The “secular” colleges were suppose to be the scary ones. I was pushed away from…

  • Justice

    This post is a bit more frank and forward than some of my previous posts. It expresses my pain and anger at the lack of justice in this world.

  • 4th of July
