I was scrolling through some random Yahoo answer threads and I came across one that caught my eye. A random boy asked the question,
“Is it God’s fault for me being lonely in high school?”
Judging from the “dorky” appearance showing in his profile, I just assumed that it probably wasn’t a surprise that he had trouble fitting in to people groups of his age. Though I was hoping...
True Story.
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance...

Hey, Whaddaya Know

Yeah, he’s the guy who painted a bunch of apples and other assortments of fruits. Well, other than that, he was known to have laid out the underlying foundations of Cubism and Impressionism, which led him to become one of the greatest influences of modern art.

A Message from 5 to 6
Hey, 5:00 AM Sarah, have you ever asked yourself, “What is my purpose?”
Maybe your purpose for that day, that hour, that moment, maybe life?
See, Sarah, if you find yourself, sleeping at 7:00 AM and waking up at 5:00 PM everyday, you need to smack yourself and ask that question.
BUT, when you do, don’t forget that utmost essential thing: hope.
Without hope, nothing can be...
