Back At It Again

I feel like I constantly have these come back to writing moments.

Inspiration Saturday

For good or bad, things aren’t real until they are.

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”

The Raven and the Dove

After many days inside the ark, Noah looked out and started to see the tops of mountains. It was the first sight of land in over 150 days. Thrilled, Noah sent a Raven out. The bird traveled the land, never returning to report its discoveries. Afterwards, Noah sent a Dove, who returned after having foundContinue reading “The Raven and the Dove”

I note my wife saying it’s still raining outside, and I grab a coat to prepare for the weather.Continue reading “Annoyingly Prepared”

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 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 Worth Of Souls

Probably the most misunderstood figure in the life of Jesus Christ is the Apostle Judas. He walked with Christ, saw His miracles, felt His majesty, and yet, at the end, betrayed Him. How could one who walks with God turn against Him? People argue he had a different vision of the journey Christ was meantContinue reading “The Worth Of Souls”
