The other half and I have been geocaching for six years now. But it wasn’t until recently that we found a greater community of geocachers. We had a couple of friends that cached (in fact, one of them GOT us into geocaching). But when it came to actually meeting the people who were hiding the […]

Stuff I’ve written about life in general.
Still Love in Hard Times
There is idea that is attributed to the German bishop Nicholas of Cusa that goes like this: “The first thought that goes through your mind is what you have been conditioned to think. What you think next defines who you are.” It’s also basically the dual process theory of cognition, where we first make quick judgements […]
The human world… it’s a mess
The other day, I decided to try a new trail that’s near my tiny abode here in my little swath of the Midwest. It’s called Denmans Woods. And the most important thing I want to point out is that Denmans Woods trails were designed for mountain bikers. While anyone can use the trails, they are […]
How’s it going?
I haven’t been posting much, either on my social medias or on this blog. And there’s really not a good reason for that except to say that other things have been pulling my attention. There’s been many geocaching adventures that are taking place in the heat of this crazy Midwest summer so far (because of […]
Be a part of the story
This past Sunday, less than twenty people were gathered to worship at the usual time at the tiny church I attend in my little swath of the Midwest. Instead of gathering in the sanctuary, most of us instead sat in Fellowship Hall, congregating around tables as we snacked on treats and watched a livestream of […]
Be unwritten yet inspired
I think my most favorite song in the world is Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield. Part of the chorus goes like this: This week is the week of Pentecost, the birthday of the Christian church according to the story in the second chapter of the book of Acts in the Bible. It was the day that […]
Goals
I used to be very good about setting intentions and goals on the first of the month and then seeing how many of them I accomplished. But then, I got too ambitious and eventually was getting to the point where I would only achieve half of the goals I set for myself. Life is funny […]
Trails and faith
I like to hike. And while I often revisit the familiar, I also like to explore places in my little swath of the Midwest that are new to me. But sometimes, the paths meander and I get lost, like we all do. I find I have to retrace my steps and find the correct trail. […]
Aren’t you done yet?
It should not be a surprise to any regular readers of this blog that I love to hike and geocache. I often talk about how these adventures inspire my stories. And there is truth to that statement if you read ANY of my stories. That’s a hint, by the way…. I recently finished a challenge […]
Coming soon – A new serial novel!
My magical and wonderful readers, instead of the usual reflection fare I post on Thursday mornings, I give you an introduction to my newest serial novel, set to debut in June. Several years ago, I wrote a novel for the now defunct National Novel Writing Month. It was the first time I ever attempted NaNoWriMo […]
