- The Beggar
Imagine you're rich. You eat everything you want, go wherever you want, do whatever you want. There's a beggar outside your door. He wants food, but nothing that you don't have. All he asks for is what you don't eat; scraps, bits of food now and again. Enough to keep him alive. Do you feed him, or leave him? I ask this question, because there is a story in the Bible that has a situation similar. The beggar died, the rich man prospered. It said a lot about the rich man.

- The New Generation
When you see a slice of pizza, sitting ten feet from a trash can, on the ground, there's something wrong. When you then, five feet from that, slightly farther away, see two slices of pickle, there's something wrong. When people laugh about this on the school campus, you know who it is that's wrong. When students on a bus make smiles on the window with dollar signs as eyes, it's not just the generation, it's the way they're being raised. This is all wrong, and this is what society is becoming.

- Tests
Tests. Something everyone has to deal with, and most hate. Most find them boring, and challenging, while I find them a way to show what I truly know. Or at least, that's how it is with academic tests. Life tests are so much harder, and yet we rarely think about them as a challenge. We just think of them as an obstacle in our life, something we have to deal with, but we don't actually think of them as tests. Treat them as tests, and, maybe, just maybe, you'll make better decisions.
