“I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory / to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.” ~ Katherine Hankey “I Love to Tell the Story” (1866) Last night, on Christmas Eve, I sat as I usually do in the tiny church in my little swath of the […]

Stuff I’ve written about life in general.
I am just me
Last month, I was interviewed for the local Norwalk Living magazine. (It can be found here for those who are interested in seeing it – click on the December 2023 edition). I touched based with the author of the article on a whim, encouraged by friends who told me she needed to talk with me. I […]
Recognize the Spark
Recently, I was asked a question. How do you feel loved and connected? I had answered “my family.” But I didn’t mean only the family of blood I have that is dispersed all over the United States, but the family I have made as well, who continue to bless me and keep me on this path […]
Choosing a better, more joyful way
I recently heard a story about a married gay couple who moved into a new neighborhood in a new state following a job acceptance. While getting ready and into their car one night to go to a friend’s house, a car slowed by and slurs and threats were shouted at them, causing some fear. Their […]
I didn’t know you wrote…..
So if you’ve been paying attention to some of my other social medias, you’d know I have published another book in my Portals Series. This one tells the story of the heirs of the Dynast, the Cleric, and the Portal Seeker, continuing the tales of Delphian, the Realm of Original Magic, and even Earth itself. […]
I want peace but it’s not what I’m used to
One of my favorite shows to watch at Christmastime is A Charlie Brown Christmas. My absolute favorite scene of the movie is when Linus tells Charlie Brown, Lucy, the cast, and pretty much the whole world what Christmas is all about, quoting a certain passage in the Bible. One particular verse of that passage sticks […]
Generations upon hopeful generations
It’s December finally and Christmas is bearing down on us, bringing all sorts of glad tidings and a casserole dish of emotions. We deal with realities, with relatives, with things that crop up and memories of things long gone. It’s a time for tradition. But it’s also a time for new adventures and new ideas. […]
Expectations and the unexpected
I’m sitting in the front room of my small abode in my tiny swath of the Midwest, watching the melting snow drip off of the roof as the sun rises above the houses across the street. We’ve had our first snowfall of this season. Of course, it always makes me kind of chuckle when I […]
Willpower, temperance, self-control… and gratitude?
There was a buzz in the air at the little church in my tiny swath of the Midwest this past Sunday. Between the poor squirrel who had given its life to knock out the power earlier in the morning, the forgetfulness of the worship leader to have what was prepared for speaking brought to church, […]
Gentleness
Last week, Veteran’s Day was celebrated here in the United States. The Fruit of the Spirit that was examined in the little church I attend in my tiny swath of the Midwest was gentleness. There is a strange sort of juxtaposition between those two ideas. Veterans are those who once served in any branch of […]
