Should We Be Praying For Justice… or Mercy?
The days we’re living in feel so unfair and unjust, don’t they? Basically everything costs more than ever before: Gas, food, clothes, vehicles, utilities, rent, mortgages, insurance… and the list goes on. Politically, many of us feel cheated.

Am I A Homophobic, Self-Righteous, Hateful Bigot?
I promise that’s not a snarky question. It’s simply one of many questions I’ve been asking myself these past few weeks. See, a month or so ago I made a Facebook post about the “Equality” and “My First Pride” baby onesies I saw in the Pride section at Target.
