It was a chilly early spring night at the juxtaposition of a dead end street and what had been a corn field the season before, the remnants of the fall harvest still standing as lone sentinels in the softened earth. The sun was beginning to disappear on the horizon and the stars were coming out, […]

Walls and gates
My mind is often filled with random thoughts that come and go over the course of any given day. One of those thoughts, put in my head by a dear friend this past Sunday, was “what are the purposes of walls and gates?” So of course, me being me, I read a great deal about […]
From tragedy…. hope
Last week, I wrote a blog post about how my community was blindsided by a heinous and seemingly senseless tragedy. I’m not going to get into the details because I am aware that they can trigger some of my readers, but if you are truly curious, here is one of the news links. The story […]
Blindsided
This was not the blog post I intended to write when I began to outline my notes on Sunday evening. I will eventually finish that post, half done and along a similar vein as this, but for now, it’s on the back burner. I was working away this past Monday on that blog post when […]
Life is….
I realized the other day that I have recently listened to a great number of songs that talk about what life is. Some call it the Baader-Meinhof Effect, some call it serendipity…. But I notice there are a few songs, from a vast spectrum of music, that I have come across that have lyrics that […]
Blessings
It’s March. It’s nearly spring and green is becoming the color of the season. Saint Patrick’s Day is fast approaching, which means many blessings attributed to the Irish abound.

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 […]
Luna is now available
Those of you who have been paying attention to my other social media sites already know this, but for those who don’t follow me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, I published the 16th novel this past week in my Portals Series: Luna is available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, an in paperback format. Click on the […]
Repent
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten season in the Christian calendar. For many, it is a time of reflection and fasting, to give up something. It’s a time to test one’s self-discipline or take up a way to better one’s self. It’s a time to remember and to repent. Repent. Like fellowship […]
