This Is Not All That There Is

I recently had the opportunity to stay on the bluffs of Duluth, Minnesota. Throughout my stay, I appreciated the finer details of the beauty of nature, and it spurred me to write this:

The views overlooking the city and the gleaming water is incredible, but- this is not all that there is
The clean smells of spring, the renewing of life with the melting of snow is captivating, but- this is not all that there is
The crisp air coming off the lake, rustling through the tall grass with a near cloud-less sky is breathtaking, but- this is not all that there is
The soul-warming heat of a campfire on a cool night with nothing but sounds of crackling wood and life down below in the city is sobering, but- this is not all that there is
The strong rocks upon which I stood overlooking all this beauty was humbling, but- this is not all that there is
I struggle, on a daily basis to even begin to fathom the awe-inspiring, soul-consuming, heart-stirring glory in heaven which is before us when we leave this earth. All we know is this world and its beauty. But, thankfully, those who are in Christ have an eternity of communion with the one true God in a heaven that is forever and unfathomably greater than this world.

Why the Twin Cities is the Best Place to Live in 2018

|| Why the Twin Cities is the Best Place to Live in 2018 ||  2/17/18 You Betcha. Uff Daa. Minnesnowta. While all funny attributes of the 32nd state to join the Union, Minnesota is a diamond in the rough of the Midwest. Surrounded by Tim-Horton-loving Canucks to our North, heads of our former presidents carved in a mountain to our West, vast and flat corn fields to our South, and cheeseheads to our East, 'sota' is the place I call home and have fallen in love with. At first glance, Minnesota might not seem like the best place to plant roots, but nothing could be further from the truth- and yes, contrary to popular belief, Minnesota DOES actually have 4 seasons- not just winter.  As a preface, I don't want this article to be a " Twin Cities vs. the US" piece , but rather a candid conversation sh aring my experiences and observations as someone that has lived in the state a little less than 3 years. I come from the neighbor to the east, Wisconsin. I lived ther

The Case for Dinner Party

There are two episodes in the entire Office  series that vie for the top spot of "cringiest" episode ever. Dinner Party (S4 E13)  and Scott's Tot's (S6 E12)  (I would also like to throw  Andy's Play (S7 E3)  in the mix, but I'll save it for a different time) . While both have made their awkward mark on Office  fans, I argue that Dinner Party  encapsulates more (and greater) awkwardness and cringe than Scott's Tot's." In Dinner Party , the cringe starts in the FIRST MINUTE. Right off the bat, Michael tricks Jim via having to "work late" ensuring his night is open to come over for dinner. Once Jim and Pam arrive, Jan in all her conceited glory begins subtle jabs that are more and more awkward as the episode goes on. Look, I can list all the hilarities of Michael and Jan before the opening credits end, but I'd suggest you go back and watch both episodes and you'll see what I mean. Moving on, the tour of the condo is perfec
