In yesterday’s post, I mentioned a “gem” of a story I’d read that was going to get me motivated to write again. While that post is percolating away, something came to my attention today that I must address, if only for the sake of my own resilience and faith. I’m going to say this one [...]

Retrospectacular!
I’m using OmmWriter on my Macbook Pro to write this post. It’s one of those beautiful hidey-hole appllcations that tries to extinguish as many desktop distractions as possible to the whole prospect of writing. All that’s in my field of vision are two barren trees in the midst of what remains from a furious winter [...]
I’m Amazed.
I’m not sure what perspective My Morning Jacket views the world from, but this particular song has been reverberating in my head for the last week.
“I’m Amazed”
I’m amazed at a quiet ocean
I’m amazed at your warm devotion
I’m amazed at what the people sayin’
I’m amazed by a divided nation
Like the rhythm of the earth, I get [...]
A Single Quote
“I have had prayers answered - most strangely so sometimes - but I think our heavenly Father’s loving-kindness has been even more evident in what He has refused me.” - Lewis Carroll
time will fly away
time will fly away
it is given wings by the struggles of living among the dead and dying
it is consumed by the tangible intangible creatures who only crave more than they could ever take in.
then someone you love leaves, by choice or circumstance…
…and the memories - every last thing that you cherished about them -
they don’t [...]
Name That Legacy!
I’m having a dilemma of sorts.
This week I’m turning 35, and I realize as I sit at a Panera Bread in a town I don’t know (but will work in), that my parenting skills quite possibly suck. It doesn’t help that today is exactly the date that my adoptive boys have been home for FIVE [...]
Your Word and Deed
During our intermission at church this morning (you can tell that we’re a community chock-full of coffee addicts - we actually have an intermission in our service to GET MORE COFFEE), my pastor tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to read the Scripture verse of the day, and to encapsulate with words reminding [...]
Something I Need to Learn
“How long do you put off thinking yourself worthy of the best things, and never going past the definitive capacity of reason? You have received the philosophical propositions that you ought to agree to and agreed to them. Then what sort of teacher are you still waiting for, that you put off improving yourself until [...]
All That I’m Going to Say
My opinion doesn’t matter for too much, but to the players, to the movers and shakers, to the politico, to the strategists, to the ones whose plans constantly extend, to the ones who take joy in creating kingdoms on earth and neglect the one to come - this is for you.
“This line is metaphysical
And on [...]
Music Reviews A La Mode!
I’m not quite sure what this means, but lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of the ridiculous eighties metal (and what might be considered “glam” metal) that I grew up on. It started with a couple of old Ozzy albums that a friend of mine gifted to me via MP3. Now, I think that [...]
