Life flows like a river with all the obstacles one would expect to encounter along the way. Rocks, trees and garbage dumped into its fluidity.

Why is it…?
There are moments when life seems easy. Simple pleasures that block the pain and regret. Why can't they be more often and less sporadic.

Then there is dealing with … Continue reading Back to Work

I desired to develop a relationship with the worship leader after having been a part of the team for several years. I put … Continue reading I’m Sorry, I Don’t Have Time
