new dreams die, old dreams live, for they never leave us

About Me

I am nineteen years old.
One of my greatest dreams is to be a good husband and a good father.
I want to work with the poor, the oppressed, the needy, the ostracized, the rejected, the forgotten--the people society doesn't want, the people God likes and loves.

What is love? A feeling? An emotion? I used to think so, but over break I've had lots of time to ponder this deep question. If love is a feeling or an emotion, then there are times when, for example, ...

sacrifice

I remember those days when I wallowed in despair, wondering when a girl could ever find any kind of interest in me. In these moments of despair, I did lots of thinking. I thought about what it meant t...
