     <p>I'm Baptist. I grew up in church, and my relationship with God is something I take seriously. It's not just a Sunday thing — it's how I try to live every day. I believe in being generous, treating people with kindness, and using whatever gifts you've been given to make the world a little better than you found it.</p>
     <p>For me, coding is a way to do that. Building tools that save people time, solving problems that frustrate people, creating things that bring people joy — that's ministry too, even if it doesn't look like it.</p>
 
+    <h2>Political Views</h2>
+    <p>My dad and I are both libertarian. We believe in personal freedom, limited government, and the idea that people should be left alone to live their lives as they see fit. We don't fit neatly into either political box, and honestly, we're fine with that.</p>

+    <p>This is Meeko. He's a mutt and a rescue, and he's the best dog I could ask for. He was named after Meeko from <em>Pocahontas</em> — if you've seen the movie, you know he's a little rascal who's always getting into trouble. Our Meeko lives up to the name.</p>
+    <p>There's something about rescuing a dog that hits different. He needed a home, we had one, and now he's part of the family. He's proof that the best things in life aren't purebred or expensive — they just need someone to give them a chance.</p>

     <h2>How I Got Into Coding</h2>
     <p>It started with Scratch. You know, the block-based coding thing from MIT? I was making little games and animations, dragging colorful blocks around, and thinking I was a genius. I had no idea what I was actually learning — I just knew I loved making things move on a screen.</p>
     <p>Then one day at school, I met a kid who was building websites. He showed me his stuff and I thought he was the coolest person alive. So I started following website tutorials on the side — basic HTML, then CSS, then a little JavaScript. Nothing serious, just learning by doing.</p>
