2014 in Review

Oh Life
2012-11-01 I got up at 5:30 this morning to be at Tea’s Me Cafe at 22nd and Pennsylvania in Indianapolis by 7:30. I’m currently sitting at the McDonalds at 96th and Meridian. I got the Big Breakfast, Biscuits and Gravy, and a small orange juice. There were three guys here having a Bible study or…

A Tale of Two Cities: From Milligan College to Muncie, Indiana
I’ve recently wrote about my first two years at Kentucky Christian College and my one semester at Milligan College so I thought it would be appropriate to share how I spent the year 2001, the year everything changed. Life at Milligan was better than at KCC, but it wasn’t as different as living in Muncie,…
