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

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Constantine Rides Again
This particular post has taken me a long time to complete. That frustrates me to no end. On the flip side, I seem to find more evidence to lend credence to this article. It’s a Catch-22 that this post lingers, but I’m thankful for it, and soon you’ll see why.
So… to begin:
For the last 8 [...]
