- About Me:
- I am currently a student at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas and I am studying History and Religion/Theology. I love religion. I feel that, though many terrible things have been done in the name of religion, faith can and will be beneficial and a powerful guiding force if it is allowed to be. I think that faith should be a unifying factor. Instead of arguing over semantics, let us join together and relish the things that are greater than ourselves - the impacts that compassion, love, kindness, and peace can have on all of our lives.
