Yesterday the other half and I got news that kind of stunned us and changes the course of some of our major plans. Without going into much detail, changes to our lives have been made yet again. But that’s just part of life. Like John Lennon penned, “Life is what happens while you are busy […]

I’m still here
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks in my life, so I haven’t been doing much writing on my socials. But I am still here. I am still writing. In fact, I almost have a short story done and am about to release another novella in my Portals Series. I still hike and geocache as […]
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 […]
A lot can happen in a year
“Even though I said all the things that mattered most / While I held on tight to the end of the rope / I could keep you close, but I couldn’t keep you here / A lot can happen in a year.” ~ Shinedown Three Six Five The first of February is an anniversary for […]
Go be your favorite self
Once upon a time (more like some twenty odd years ago),I wrote this in one of my journals after a wonderful discussion with the middle school kids I worked with (who are now all adults with families and lives of their own): Lord, please help me to be the person my youth group kids think […]
I should be writing
I often chide myself because I haven’t been writing much. I should be writing, I think as I twist yarn around the pegs of my knitting loom, working on a hat for a friend for Christmas. I should be writing, I think as I do the chores that have been neglected for days around my […]
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 […]
Just keep following the rhythm
The other day, I was sent a text from a young lady that I look upon as a daughter. She mentioned that since she was “not good” at speaking in front of a group “like you are,” she didn’t want to be asked to ever do it again, because she felt she messed up on […]
Why can’t we all just get along?
America is known for being a place of freedoms. Look at the first amendment to the Constitution, where the freedom of speech, freedom of the presses, freedom to peacefully assemble, freedom to petition the government and freedom of religion are all protected, even valued as fundamental to the lives of the citizens. We have the […]
I tried.
I have tried my best to write a stunning blog post today about the sermon I watched online on Sunday. It’s in my drafts folder as we speak. But the words…. they just don’t seem to come well. Even I, who almost always has a constant monologue going in my head of things I should […]
