It’s the 4th of December. My little swath of the Midwest is dealing with some wintry wonderland weather. We had a snowstorm that dumped more than a half foot of snow on us this past weekend and today the wind chill is below zero degrees Fahrenheit. It looks like Christmas outside. Inside, the tree is […]

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 […]
Find what fills your cup
This past Sunday, I skipped church. I do that from time to time. Either I wake up feeling icky and don’t want to infect others or had a very late night because of work and just don’t want to get going in the morning. Sometimes I am out of town or have something important that […]
Go Beyond
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Holy Week and Random Thoughts
I’ve been a bit unmotivated to sit at my computer and write this week. Well, I should say I’m unmotivated to write when the weather is nice outside and the sun is shining through the office windows that are still grimy and in desperate need of cleaning. But here I sit regardless, watching two of […]
Steadfast joy
From time to time, I am told by well-meaning friends and family that I could be doing so much more with my life than I already do. I could be making more money. I could be applying myself in different capacities. I could be working a job that is more intellectual than I already do. […]
Geocaching
So if you follow me on YouTube or on any of my social medias, you will know that I am also an avid geocacher. I spent a good chunk of my free time in April pursuing the hobby and have a goal the rest of the year of finding at least 25 a month as […]
