Who do you pray to?

Our Mother,

Are they kind?

In her mercy,

Are they cruel?

Smite those who would harm us.

Do they even exist?

Who is your God?

Our Father,

Are they forgiving?

Forgive us,

Are they angry?

And keep us

Where do you find them?

Church

Synagogue

Mosque

Home

Are they in small kindnesses?

"Can you hold the door for me?"

"Of course!"

Big Miracles?

"But he has risen!"

Do they live in the saints?

Saint Anthony of the Lost

Are they in the quiet place inside of you?

The silence is the only place

One that the world cannot touch

that comforts you anymore

Does it exist

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

In a place that only you know?

Not even your demons can find you here

Is your god only yours?

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

Do you find them?

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

Are they something to worship?

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

Or fear?

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

Where do they live?

In a place high above the clouds?

Where only angels tread?

In a place far below the earth?

Where only demons trod?

Do you pray?

Can you pray?

Is your God an idea?

A wish?

A prayer?

That only you can say?

Where is your noun of worship?

A person?

A place?

A thing?

Who do you pray to?

Who is your God?

Are they worthy

Of your love?

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
