Time – A Short Story – Part I

For the next three weeks I will be publishing a short story I wrote. There are three sections, so I am going to break it up in part to generate some interest, keep the reading to a minimum and yes, to have something to post for the next three weeks.

So sit back, not too far, OK, that’s better…and enjoy part one of Time (Seems I write a lot about time – check out other posts here and here). Part II & III are now available too. Please check out the entire story and let me know what you think.

OK, now enjoy…

I Won’t Forgive – A Poem

The following IS NOT me or my thoughts. Not that I have not felt some of them perhaps all of them from time to time. We all have. Only one person in history has gone through their life and not held a grudge, not felt bitterness, not forgiven. Even on the cross, Scripture tells us that when Jesus, “…was insulted, he did not insult in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten but entrusted himself to the one who judges justly” (1 Peter 2:23). 

The Only Blogging Advice I Am Qualified to Give

That's no planet

That’s no planet

Have you noticed that there is no shortage of people wanting to give you advice about how to make your blog the next big thing (NBT)? Seems like everyone knows “the secret” and for a price, they’ll share it with you. Speed up, slow down, do more, do less, procrastinate, multi-task, don’t multi-task, give things away, don’t give anything away, guest post for everyone, comment on blogs, only comment on your blog – AAAAGGGHHH!!!

It is enough to make you crazy – this world of blogging.

Come Find Me in Heaven – A Tribute to My Cousin and My Friend

It’s funny how something that happened  more than six years ago can be mentioned and bring to mind a flood of raw emotion that I really thought I had dealt with. Turns out I did nothing more than bury the feelings so deep because I was not equipped to deal with them then.

I am not 100% sure I am right now, either.

The anger, frustration and sadness, I felt in 2007 was at times overwhelming. The complete futility I felt at the news of my cousin’s death was only compounded a couple months later when I learned of the death of a high school friend.

Poetry Friday – How? Why? What?

How do you know the heart in me; when I hardly know it myself?

How do you love me so completely, when I cannot let go?

How do you know just what to say when I’m about to cry?

How do you know what the answer is and I do not know why?
