ATTENTION: THOSE ABOUT TO GRADUATE COLLEGE.

This episode speaks to many of the concerns that tend to arise near the end of college, such as:

-Is it wrong if my friends/friend groups have changed over the years?

-What if I have no idea what to do with my major?

-What if I have no plan for post-grad?

As some of my very best and wisest friends always say, "If God's got us, then we're gonna be alright." Thankfully, God was not only holding ME throughout my college experience, He's also got a hold on YOU, and He is leading you every step of the way.

Ever wondered what the official Church teaching is on tattoos, and whether or not you should get one? I'd like to shed some light on the subject, as it is very near and dear to my heart (or should I say my wrist and foot).

For a Catholic blog post and some solid advice from a priest about tattoos, see below:

This episode goes out to my single sisters everywhere. It comes from a smash/slam poem (are those interchangeable terms?) written by Janette...ikz and is called "I Will Wait...For You."

In this episode, I share about the over-arching theme and driving force of this channel, which is JOY IN HOPE. This corresponds to the beginning of a verse found in St. Paul's Letter to the Romans (12:12), where he writes, "Rejoice in hope..." Lord, may we do so!

Practically speaking, I also share how the Lord reminded me of this through the lesson of learning to become a "fresh wineskin" before we can be ready to receive the "new wine" He has in store for us.

The movie Coco is a beautiful film by Disney/Pixar Studios, and I think it brings to light some really cool aspects of the Mexican holiday Dio de los Muertos, especially the importance of praying for the dead. Check it out!
