Discovering Spiritual Truths in Video Games
I was first introduced to What the Golf?’ while watching DGR (popular YouTuber and streamer of all things Mario) play a few levels on YouTube. It was a great exercise in disrupting the equilibrium of expectations, as the game had a way of turning those expectations on their collective ears. It put a smile on […]

I love diversity. It’s a beautiful mix of color, language, culture, tastes, music and more that God wonderfully put together in this world we all live in.

I recently was contacted by the good people over at Nerd of God Squad, who maintain the Daily Nerd Devo. I have listened to them several times since they started and enjoy what I heard!

My most recent foray into JRPGs has been Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, which is a franchise I have heard of but never played. I hesitated because this is part IX, so I assumed I would be starting off with a sequel but it was like Final Fantasy, where for the most part they are separate […]

It’s that time of year once again, where we celebrate Christ our Lord’s birth. Was Jesus Christ really born on December 25th? Who knows, but history aside, the point of the holiday is to reflect on how the world rejoices that its Savior has come to bring us to Him. I also love Christmas because […]
