It’s with a heavy heart that I write this. Tragedy has struck once more in my little world. A life has been sadly snuffed out. Margo was one of the first friends I had made at the tiny church I attend in my little swath of the Midwest. She was a teacher at the high […]

Journeys
Have you ever set out on a journey without having a destination in mind? I may not have done so on a road trip, but sometimes, especially on walks around my neighborhood or neighborhoods wherever and whenever I am visiting a new place, I often just go wherever my feet take me. Sometimes, we don’t […]
Didn’t go as planned
One of my favorite quotes about life is something I’ve posted a few times before. “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” ~John Lennon, “Beautiful Boy” I say that to myself every time things don’t go as planned. For instance, yesterday (or Friday, if you are reading this blog later […]
Locked Doors and Closed Minds
A friend of mine recently shared a saying his great-grandfather used to always say. It sounds similar to the sayings of all great-grandfathers, but it went something like this: “Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.” ~ Everett Taylor Thomas was one of Jesus’ disciples, according to the accounts […]
Open our eyes
Sometimes, when we’re writing our own stories, we tend to make ourselves look smarter and bigger and better. We close our minds to the ways of the world, accepting only a exclusive story of what has happened to us. We throw wisdom to the wind, as it were. It’s natural for us to become absorbed […]

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 […]
The Path
I recently have realized that, while I am fairly active thanks to the full time job and such, I have not been as active as I could be and have taken to brisk walking the paths and pavements of my little swath of the Midwest for some added exercise and a chance to get my […]
Breath
Today is Pentecost in most Christian denominations. Traditionally, it is the day that the Holy Spirit was gifted to the early church. This day is considered the birthday of the Christian denomination. Thinking about this day also makes me think of the Holy Spirit. It then leads me, almost naturally to think of that title […]
Life
There are many quotes on life, I have come to realize. After all, John Lennon once penned that “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” And Forrest Gump’s Mama always said “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” Bob Marley asked if we […]
