I purchased a bag of Verb Energy Bars, and decided to review them here. They are gluten free, dairy free, and vegan! Each bar contains as much caffeine as a shot of espresso, which is sourced from organic green tea. I had five flavors, but Fiancé ate the cookie butter one as soon as it … Continue reading Verb Energy Bars Review
If you haven't seen the first posts in this series, you can check them out here and here. Special thanks to Andrew for this post!

Try it for yourself! (Serves 2) -Brew: a cup of strong coffee (we use a French press) -Heat until bubbly: 2 Tbsp fresh … Continue reading Nothing Beats Homemade! (Recipe)

As the name of the book suggests, it contains lamentations, or expressions of grief, over what had happened to the Holy City and the temple. In the middle … Continue reading A Reflection on Lamentations 3
It is my greatest pleasure to announce to you all that as of the end of last month (September), I have officially applied to graduate as an LPN this December!
