Life and Purpose

I have heard the expression that life is more than who we are. It moves on whether or not we live. Therefore, why are we here? I believe that we are here and alive because we each have something unique and special about us. Each individual has a place and holy work to do that…


The Meaning of Life

Like flowers in a field we are God’s creation meant to shine with the light of the Holy Spirit. He knows our every petal as we give thanks for his glory. We are his children and our lives are meant for charity as we are all endowed with gifts that only grow as we give…


Jellyfish Species That Looks Like Giant Snot

I like jellyfish. Some of them pulsate bioluminescent light. Some of them, like the moon jelly, have a clover shape on their bell while others have long lace-like tentacles.
