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”

Monday Morning
You know it’s been really weird and freeing to be writing as much as I have lately. I’ve talked a lot recently, and this may be in some things I haven’t published yet about the challenge of writing in such a media driven society. There’s so many easier things to do with time, then sitContinue reading “Monday Morning”
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 Uselessness of Yesterday
Time is such a fickle thingIt swaysIt movesIt ever singsIt’s always new and never oldYet more of it can make you bold You somehow have it all the timeYet notIt goesFast as the rhymeIt sits upon you like a weightBut still it drifts with every date You have it all, but still have noneYou wakeYouContinue reading “The Uselessness of Yesterday”
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”
The Great and The Gentle
It’s always perplexed me how the Jews of Christ time could not recognize his divinity. Now, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized more that I’ve always gotten the information from the believer. It’s easy to see something the way someone once you to see it. Yet even Matthew uses the fulfillment of prophecy to helpContinue reading “The Great and The Gentle”
“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”
Road to Tennessee Part 1
“How was Tennessee?” Over the last few years my wife and I have been through a rollercoaster of events. It challenged us to become better in many ways, but left us often lost for a path forward. We spent years fighting my wife’s health searching for a doctor who would have an actual path forContinue reading “Road to Tennessee Part 1”
Blogs
What is a blog? It’s not the same as a journal entry. Journals you can fully and unleashingly reveal all things about yourself and yourlife without fear of repercussion. Its not quite a media. Media pieces I feel are informital entertainment. You read an article to see someones take on certain subjects you enjoy andContinue reading “Blogs”
