“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”
The Caged Bird
The other day, my wife was on a walk with the dog. Nearing the end of the walk, the dog seemed unusually interested in the trunk of a car. Her mind started thinking the worst when an injured bird leaped out from its hiding place. Her immediate thought was to help, but she knew IContinue reading “The Caged Bird”

You Can’t See What You Don’t Feel Up to this point I’ve alluded to what my wife experienced with her illness. The truth is, as an observer it’s challenging to understand the depth of her pains. That’s the unfortunate task of the supporter, you have to watch the suffering without understanding it. This is notContinue reading “Road to Tennessee Part 3”

I was driving down the road with my family and got behind a silver car with the license plate “BO55”. The license plate gave me a little chuckle, but it quickly disappeared as our little silver boss began drifting into the lane next to him. It was so bad I thought he was just gettingContinue reading “Distraction”
Stumped
You ever just not know what to write about. I’m not talking about writers block either. This is the desire to write but just not having anything to write about. It happens when I’m bored, not when I have a lot of time bored but I have a couple minutes and instead of sifting throughContinue reading “Stumped”
The New Past
Have you ever been thinking about a movie you watched and thought, “that was a good movie I should find it so I can rewatch it.” Then after an intense search you find it. You get your popcorn ready, get comfortable on the couch, and begin what you expect to be an exciting blast ofContinue reading “The New Past”
Artistic Chaos
My wife and I are both artists. She is brilliant when it comes to decoration. The other night she showed me a picture of a display she’s made at work and I was blown away by how awesome it looked, then she explained her process behind and I was entranced. I can’t measure up toContinue reading “Artistic Chaos”
