I am taking the day off from work and felt the need to write again. It has been many months. I am writing because I couldn't face working in that grocery store today knowing that I destroyed a great opportunity to walk in my calling by letting sin into my heart. I was fulfilling God's … Continue reading Rehash or Revive?
The boy was confused, the man is defeated. The question that plagues me is whether it was my giving up or just me flat-out not having a chance from the start? The final result, either way you look at it is the same. I have become known as a person who gripes and complains but … Continue reading Confused
Right now, in our country, the debate is raging over who should be our next president. One of the most polarizing issues is based on the ever caustic arguments over abortion rights. Well, I am going to put a twist on this disagreement that you have never considered, and I am going to be very … Continue reading I Should Have Been Aborted

After having written what I just have, a nagging question eats at me. Should I remain transparent when so often people will and can use it against you? In my opinion far too many people are way to opaque and totally unknown, unreadable and covert. You never know where they stand personally and I think … Continue reading Is Transparency a Weakness?
I am suspended between two entirely different era's of my life and it is an uncomfortable time of waiting. In the interest of transparency I have multiple fronts to deal with as I get from here to there. I have my past which is mired in questioning all things religious. A history of untimely rebellion. … Continue reading In the Meantime
Changing direction isn't as easy as it might seem. It means there must be change at the core of who I am. It is that deep and complete, it is returning to a way of life that I existed in for many years. Its refuting statements that kept me at arms length from religious beliefs … Continue reading Directional Recalibration
