Life in the place where faith and anxiety intersects
Many people think that having a bit of anxiety means you have no faith. This is far from the truth. It’s not a lack of faith that causes anxiety. Anxiety comes as a result of the love you have for family and friends, people you care about. It is the outcome of the myriad of… Read More Life in the place where faith and anxiety intersects
Creciendo en fe, conocimiento y tormentas de nieve
Hace varios años, cuando era mucho más joven en mi fe, sin conocimiento y comprensiĂłn, tuve una experiencia con otra persona de la misma fe que aparentemente se veĂa a sĂ misma mejor que yo, al menos asĂ es como lo interpretĂ©. Hubo una tormenta de nieve, ciertamente no fue la peor tormenta que golpeĂł… Read More Creciendo en fe, conocimiento y tormentas de nieve
El problema de brutalidad policial es problema de todos
Incidente tras incidente, los oficiales de policĂa maltratan a ciudadanos inocentes, incluso los matan y la mayorĂa de las veces, todos tienen la misma excusa: temĂan por sus vidas. Estos oficiales han entrenado armas y portan armas de fuego todos los dĂas, y aĂşn asĂ confunden algo como una billetera con un arma. Los oficiales… Read More El problema de brutalidad policial es problema de todos
Growing in Faith, Knowledge, and Snowstorms
Several years ago when I was a lot younger in my faith, lacking knowledge and understanding, I had an experience with another person of the same faith who apparently saw herself as better than me, at least this is how I interpreted it then.

We celebrate the many ways she touched us, educated us, and carried us through some of the darkest… Read More Returning to our Roots
A Brief Retrospective
When I was in middle school, there was a program that was instituted in my school district for computer programming. It was a pilot program that introduced us to data programming and processing and inter-network communications. I was selected to be a part of the program along with a few other students who had high… Read More A Brief Retrospective

The New York Aquarium Re-imagined
Let me start by saying the New York Aquarium’s new shark exhibit is awesome! I visited the aquarium this weekend for the grand opening of the exhibit, named Ocean Wonders: Sharks! The exhibit has been closed since 2011.

The Police Brutality Problem is Everyone’s Problem
Incident after incident, police officers are maltreating innocent citizens, even killing them and more often than not, they all have the same excuse – they feared for their lives. These officers have had weapons training and carry firearms daily, and yet would mistake something like a wallet for a gun. Police officers killing citizens because… Read More The Police Brutality Problem is Everyone’s Problem
El punto de inflexiĂłn
Este fin de semana pasado, los estudiantes de secundaria se reunieron en todas las ciudades importantes de los EE. UU. para exigir nuevas polĂticas para el control de armas. Han declarado que ya es suficiente. Ya se cansaron de ver morir a bala a sus amigos y a otras personas de su edad. Ya han… Read More El punto de inflexiĂłn
