            Joy actually seems to be a forgotten feeling. Since when have you felt actual joy – not disappointment, discontentment, or distress.

            Imagine, Imagine, Imagine. It seems that imagination is mostly encouraged throughout the USA. I can’t count how many TV shows and movies teach that imagination is great, that there’s a ‘happily ever after’, that people who believe in reality are just killjoys and burdens.             Are they right?             Well, I think it’s rather [...]

Glory has been with us since the beginning. We were created to glorify God, and, though we’ve failed in that purpose, the idea of glory still haunts and fascinates us.

            What is a friend? Never mind the definition – what is the difference between a friend and an enemy?             I suppose the obvious answer would be that a friend is someone who likes you, and an enemy someone who doesn’t like you; to put it in the mildest terms.             But is that [...]
