It’s amazing how much a single thought for a single moment can create a lifetime of struggle. Today, more than anytime in history, we see how saying something can eventually be turned against you. We see how ideas of the past can stain a person’s reputation even after they’ve now changed that opinion. Learning toContinue reading “A Single Moment”

Annoyingly Prepared
I woke up this morning to the natural chaos of children and a puppy. Lately, I’ve been trying to be more active in the morning, so I immediately prepare to take the dog on a walk. I note my wife saying it’s still raining outside, and I grab a coat to prepare for the weather.Continue reading “Annoyingly Prepared”
Paradox
I think I’ve had a lot of blogs about my blog. That fact is, I don’t really know how a blog works. It’s not like a journal. I’m not writing all the deep, dark secrets of my soul. It is a little personal, though. I express thoughts I don’t generally talk about to anyone. HowContinue reading “Paradox”
Every Moment
My writing comes from the deepest places in my mind. Somewhere down the line in my life, I found saying words was much harder than writing them. Hence, my blog. That’s even trickled into my marriage. I often feel like I can better express myself through writing rather than trying to say the words outContinue reading “Every Moment”

The Inconsistent Battle
Something my wife does, which is brilliant, is making a group of things work together as a whole. She can find some of the most unrelated objects and next time I see them they’re all together sprayed in a beautiful array on a side table. She has an eye for decorating. This goes beyond justContinue reading “The Inconsistent Battle”

“I’m Not Reading That”
You may have noticed my deep religious roots in my writing. Honestly, early on, I tried to keep my writing as religiously light as possible. It wasn’t any sort of embarrassment of my religion or out of a desire to hide my religiousness, it was simply because I didn’t want to create any sort ofContinue reading ““I’m Not Reading That””
Emotional Roadblock
If you happen to have read through my road to Tennessee posts, you’ll know my wife suffers from a rare disease. It’s been a long journey for us both, but more especially for and on her. There’s no way of truly understanding the emotional roller coaster she rides each day with her sickness. She triesContinue reading “Emotional Roadblock”
The Rose on a Hill
Bright and beautiful the day A shining sun aloft The green grass moved with every gust The dew formed from the frost A rose of red stood proud and strong It watched the fields below Atop a hill the rose abode It watched the world flow. A strange sight just a mile away Another brightContinue reading “The Rose on a Hill”
