Being offended is a very popular emotion in today’s culture.
It almost seems like people look for things to be offended about. It is an
epidemic of prideful selfishness seeking to make others bow to our wishes,
trying to make the world be what we want rather than what it should be. We
vehemently defend our right to be offended, yet will not consider another’s
right to be offended by us. Where does all this offense stem from? Who is wrong
and who is right? Is this just the way things are? Is there any cure?

I am passionate about learning and my faith, so I combine the two. My greatest goal is to daily grow to be more like Christ, and to help others do the same.
