Twice this past week, I have been able to get outside for long walks of over three miles. While the first walk was done on a day where it was chilly and I had to wear my heavy coat, the second walk was done in just a long sleeved shirt. Spring is in the air. […]

Deep Questions
I have noticed, throughout the years, that most kids ask a great many questions. They are relentless in their quest to understand how the world works and why it works that way. They are constantly trying to challenge the ways of the world as they challenge their own selves. They are insatiable in their need […]
Doldrums
The other day, my little swath of the Midwest had a winter storm that dumped several inches of snow on the ground. It made a mess of things, as storms often do, but the next day was beautiful. I ended up taking a short walk enjoying the snow for what it was worth. But I […]
Voices in our heads
I joke that a great deal of my stories are voices in my head yelling out their stories, hoping I will go ahead and finally write what they are saying. These voices are, for the most part, harmless and a part of my imagination I embrace wholeheartedly. After all, I wouldn’t have my Portals Series […]
Abide
Did you ever pause to think about what the word abide means? I know that I hadn’t, at least not until recently. I guess I had some innate understanding of the word, but I never reflected on it. But then, as I was sitting in the back of the tiny church I attend this past […]
Two years ago
The first of February marks a milestone for me, one that I celebrated with a post last year that you can read if you would like. The day marks my two year anniversary at my present job. Many of you will note that I don’t share on public social media what my job is. I’ve […]
True Love
It’s hard to believe that the month of January is already nearly over. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. It’s the season of lovers, romance, chocolate and flowers. Stores and other venues are decorated with pinks, reds and whites and it seems as though love is in the air. But there are so many […]
Get a life
I once worked with a group of young men who were into video-gaming. They would spend a good portion of their shifts talking about the latest games, discussing strategies and plays, or talking smack to each other in regards to the games. While most of the games they played weren’t things I was interested in, […]
In the Bleak Midwinter
After a full month, those of us who live in the Northern Hemisphere have entered into the midst of the season called winter. The bleakness of this season has settled upon us. And even though I did indeed write a post just two weeks ago titled “January doesn’t stink,” there is some melancholic bitterness to […]
Shine bright
The young son of a friend of mine is such a free spirit. He is very expressive in the way that he dresses and moves. He dares to wear things that many would call unconventional, drawing attention to himself. I know that there are people who may frown at the way he is, for he […]
