Discovering Spiritual Truths in Video Games
Sometimes it’s hard to find time to read God’s word or pray. I like to have a quiet environment, some instrumental worship music, or at least be by myself because I know I will be needed for something constantly when my family is around. In the morning when everyone is asleep, I can get around […]

It sure has been a while since I posted anything for this column, but I’m back with more retro goodness! I haven’t dived into any emulator or ROMs yet, as I have quite a backlog of old games that I can access via Nintendo Switch Online, Steam, Amazon gaming and PS Plus. In that way, […]

Coffee is part of my life, and has been even more since I’ve been married to my wonderful Colombian wife. Colombia produces some of the world’s best coffee and we drink it every morning, though her cup is much more filled than mine. I don’t need it for the caffeine, it’s all about the taste […]
