Marty
Time is amazing and ongoing. On a pace that everyone has to catch up to regardless of a person’s circumstances. Marty was my mom’s cousin and two years ago the Lord took him home. Like I said, it doesn’t seem like it has already been 2 years… time has just ticked onward. He was a…

Summer School at OCU
My college life was really unique. I began college right after graduating from high school, but realized a Catholic Campus wasn’t right for me after all.
