This is my family.
...this is my family.

We are now in a presidential election year. I'm starting to get a bit worried. Trump isn't going away and if anything he keeps saying scarier and scarier things. My family seems to be in support of him. His speeches sound imperial.

Anyway I won't let him consume my mind with fear. I believe people are good and I have faith in humanity that he will not lead a country with his hateful beliefs.

I started my spring semester at Ashland this week. I spent most of yesterday reading about how the brain learns. Very interesting stuff. But as always I can't help but wonder where God falls in to all of this stuff.

Brooke texted me this week about a friend who wanted help getting out of an unhealthy community. I talked to people at my church and they didn't offer much help other than maybe seeing a counselor or getting coffee...

How disappointing and embarrassing. a massive church and nothing to help a victim...
What's the point of the damn building and all the religious degrees of the people inside of it?

I just want something real. I want something authentic. No agenda. No lens. I want truth. Everything is so contaminated.
