A Worthy Word

So what do I really think about mental health?

4/12/2020

Some of you may wonder what I really think about the idea of supernatural peace. I realize that my posts may seem like a conundrum: 
  • A few months ago I wrote that emotions are simply the product of our choices. 
  • Yet, several days ago I wrote that mental health issues are more nuanced than we like to admit. 
  • Then my last post I wrote about God's perfect peace. 
  • Not to mention my speech about eating disorders. 
​So must Christians have inner peace or not? How do I reconcile this conundrum?

The Wrong Type of “Social Distancing”

In 1871, Horatio Spafford, a successful businessman and lawyer from Chicago, mourned the death of a son to pneumonia. The same year he lost much of his business to the Great Chicago Fire. Then, in 1873, his four remaining children and wife boarded a ship bound for Europe. Fifteen days later he received this telegram from his wife: “Saved alone, what shall I do?”

Mr. Spafford immediately booked a passage to join his wife. Four days into the crossing, he was summoned by the captain, who informed him that the ship was passing over the very spot where only days before his children had descended three miles down into their watery grave. Horatio quietly entered his private quarters and penned a beautiful hymn of faith.
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

“You have something you want to tell us.”

My flight leader addressed the cadet officers in my flight at Cadet Officer School, a 10-day leadership training activity sponsored by Civil Air Patrol (CAP). Everyone at the camp had at least received the Mitchell Award in Civil Air Patrol, attaining the rank of Cadet Second Lieutenant, which some in CAP consider to be equivalent to receiving the Eagle Scout. Still, my flight leader knew there was more to our lives than that single achievement.

If you have seen the news lately, no doubt you have been overwhelmed with news about Brett Kavanaugh's hearing. I also have no doubt that you've already formed an opinion about the topic.

So have I, but it is not about the accusations brought against him. I am going to be writing about our opinion about the Brett Kavanaugh accusation.

Ask the experts: where to find good advice

11/23/2017

​A few weeks ago I was trying to determine who I should partner with for the NCFCA Moot Court competition. I got an offer from someone, and thought about it. Then I asked a close friend, who is my age, what he thought. A few hours later, I asked my mom. Within minutes of finishing speaking with my mom, I notified the other person of my answer.

​In the end, what my friend said didn't weigh as heavily in my decision as what my mom said. Yet I asked my peer first. Why?

Today, Truth is being undermined. Many people think their feelings are more valuable than Truth. Some people think that there is no such thing as Truth (which is a self-defeating statement)

What the Bible says about freedom

Yes, all men have the right to be free. This right was given to them by God, and should not be taken away by man or government. Freedom was given to us by God. God gave Adam and Eve the choice staying in a perfect garden and enjoying this fellowship, or eating the fruit and dying

The simple answer to education problems

Update: I have slightly altered my view since writing this post. I do not believe he Federal Government should fund homeschooling via vouchers. Recently, a bill was proposed for a program very similar to the idea given in this blog post. However, after learning HSLDA's stance on the bill, I have decided that government funding leads to government control, and thus the government should not give vouchers to homeschooling parents.

American public schools are failing. Although public schools spend an average of $11,732 on each student per year. America ranks 29th on a list of nations’ schools. Countries in Asia are excelling past the US. About 7000 students drop out of US schools each day, a total of 1.2 million per year!

In the year 2015 the percent of Americans living in poverty was 13.5%, with 43 million Americans categorized as being poor. So the question is: since so many people are living in poverty, are we entitled to government assistance? Is it the government's responsibility to help these people
