Despite our differences, we share a greater common ground then we think we do. But how do we find it? It’s hard to be curious and not judgmental when we don’t talk to each other. It’s hard to be curious when we think we are the only ones who are special. What would happen if […]

Just when you feel like throwing in the towel
Normally I’d be writing what I call my “sermon reflection” today. But since I skipped church last week due to needing a mental and physical break and never watched the video about it (sorry Pastor Travis!), I don’t have some witty wonderful writing for you about doing unto other and working kindness or love or […]
The Story of Drachon and Alesar
Little background – this was probably one of my first stories that I let others widely read. My brother once called it a Lord of the Rings knock off. I will have to admit J. R. R. Tolkien is one of my inspirations, so perhaps I did borrow heavily from his ideas, but this was […]
Do Unto Others….
We’re nearing the elections here in the United States, and man oh man is this a very polarized election. It seems no matter where one turns, they are hearing how if they aren’t FOR a certain candidate, then they are against everything that candidate stumps for. The nation feels divided and it seems that disagreement […]
Courage
There’s a scene in the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus sends his disciples out on a boat on a lake. Later that night, he appears to them, walking on the water amidst the winds that blew. The disciples are afraid, thinking they’ve seen a ghost. But then Jesus yells at them to take courage. Peter, […]
Coming Home
This was my foray into writing a cute little predictable romance story (a la Hallmark Channel, which I don’t watch much) and this story is kind of long…. but it was a fun write. As I stated in the disclaimer above, I originally posted this on a blog called Short Stories…. but want all of […]
Growth
Traditions are great. They connect us to the past. But sometimes, there are traditions that we need to let go of. Cynicism, stagnation, dead weight all keep us from finding our purpose. They keep us from becoming better people. They hold us back and keep us fighting the same battles over and over again, coping […]
Updates and what nots
It’s fall. It’s the first fall in my new abode and I am adapting. I am watching the first of the leaves fall through my office windows today while one of the cats naps in her bed on my desk. I am waiting on my old van to be done, since I finally am getting […]
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
“Ch-ch-ch-ch-changesTurn and face the strangeCh-ch-changesThere’s gonna have to be a different manTime may change meBut I can’t trace time” ~ David Bowie Changes Changes. They happen, even if they are hard to face. Change is difficult. It’s hard to do. It’s messy and complicated. It’s often arduous to anticipate. It’s different than what we are […]
The Twin Stones
I should begin with a little background on this long but wonderful little story. Years ago, I played the MMORPG World of Warcraft. The following was very much inspired by the lore behind that video game, but even if you don’t know anything about WoW, you should be able to read this. As I stated […]
