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”

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”
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 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”
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”
Barabbas: We are made Free
In the final hours of Christ’s life, He is taken before Pilot, who interviews Him intently. Upon discovering or deciding for himself that Jesus appeared innocent of wrong that permitted such involvement of the Romans, Pilot presented the people with an option. They could free Jesus of Nazareth or free Barabbas, a man known forContinue reading “Barabbas: We are made Free”

“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”
