maybe it’s time alpha
It’s 0430 on a school morning, and I think my body is done sleeping. I normally wake up at 0515 (0530 if I’m honest) and get ready for school, but this morning is a little different. I had a dream that I saw a lot of my band buddies from college. We were all at…

the struggle is real
I have something that I have to get off of my chest. You see, I try to ensure that my intentions are pure. It’s something that I have to be very intentional about. I question my motives on a daily basis. It’ important for my personal growth to question the reasons why I do the…

today’s lesson
The other day, I had a “wow” moment. Marching band rehearsal had just ended, so I was walking off of the field. Just as I was walking on the track that surrounds the football field, it happened. I decided to close my eyes. While this was no normal event, it became interesting as I continued…

manos que moldean (hands that mold)
I was praying today and I found myself thanking God for molding me into some kinda man. I say that because I can’t describe it any other way. I am amazed at who I am becoming. I react differently to different situations now. Freaking out is not my first reaction. My faith is deeper. My…

Birds of a feather….
There’s a strange occurrence in my life: I have friends. Before you think I’m going nuts, just hear me out. I had a complex for much of my life: I thought that no one could out-give me, out of my group of friends. Honestly, I felt like no one could love like I could, and…

All that I can say
Over the past week or so, the word communication has been coming back up. The interesting thing about communication is that it requires willingness. You have to be willing to share your thoughts. Sometimes, though, it isn’t that simple. I used to be the type of person who would “bite his tongue until it bled,”…

Hi. My name is Herbie.
I have been amazed at so many things this summer. I’ve done things that I had put off doing for quite a while. I’ve done other things that I never thought I’d do. As a result, I’ve left myself vulnerable to a host of new experiences. There’s a common thread through it all. It’s called…

Follow Courage
Summer holiday is ending soon. It has been filled with things that I didn’t even think of doing. It was truly better than I could’ve imagined. Over this time, I have met new family and friends, and spent time with old ones. So many things blew my mind this summer. And it appears to only…

This is your life
What shall we say then? Life is a dish best served in hearty portions. Devour the plate and go back for seconds, thirds and so on. By the way you go after the things in life, you silently give courage to those around you. The world needs more people like you. This is your life.

What isn’t, is.
This has been one of the best summers I’ve ever had. I was on vacation for about a month. I saw old friends and met new ones. About midway through my tour, I spent about 2 weeks with most of my nuclear-family. It was great. We laughed, got on each other’s nerves and everything in…
