praying anime girl

Why is no one else like me? I like anime, but I’m told by the Christians around me that it’s a ungodly art.

Ya Boy Kongming Ep. 9 & the Adult I Aspire to Be

Kongming is more than just a great tactician with a charmingly demure manner and surprisingly decent rapping skills. He’s also the kind of adult I aspire to be, and one I think that all of us—as we hand in our membership cards to “the young generation” (ahem, as we age)—can stand to learn a thing… Read More Ya Boy Kongming Ep. 9 & the Adult I Aspire to Be

How Can the Church Do Better? Lessons from Snow White with the Red Hair

She went into her most secret room—no one else was allowed inside—and she made a poisoned, poisoned apple. From the outside it was beautiful, white with red cheeks, and anyone who saw it would want it. But anyone who might eat a little piece of it would die. […] Now the apple had been so… Read More How Can the Church Do Better? Lessons from Snow White with the Red Hair

Nanashi’s Smile in Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul

Although Made in Abyss is among my favorite series, I delayed watching the sequel film, Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul, for quite some time.
