What’s The Point?

"What's the point?" This question is what brought me into the roughest season of depression I've ever experienced. However, this question is also what brought me out of that season.

A rapid knock interrupted Stace from her reading. The library closed forty minutes ago, who could possibly want in? Whatever. Stace shook her head and turned back to her book The Nation of Robots by Claudia Bostraeu, which was the best selling book of 2050. The knock resounded through the quiet building once again. Now,… Continue reading The Dangerous Book

The “Spit On Me Too” Challenge

What if every shop, business, or restaurant had a picture of Jesus outside the main door so that as people walked inside they could spit on Jesus' face. Would you step forward and tell them to stop?
