People say things like “change happens” and “change is inevitable (like Thanos).”
But they also say, “the more things change the more they stay the same.”
Wait, what? Is it just me or is that one dumb?

What You Think Doesn’t Matter
What if what you think doesn’t matter?
I mean, what you think of yourself.
Ouch! That’s harsh.
It is a kind of a hard thing to say, even to think.
But I believe it’s true.
Prayer NOT in School is Your Fault (or Shut Up and Pray Pt II)
For too long, I have been hearing people that profess their faith in Christ, lamenting the fact that the world and specifically schools in the United States have descended into a near full blow state of chaos, since the prohibition of prayer in school was initiated in 1962.
Discovering What the Market Wants: A Personal Journey
Man, I am just not feeling it, you know?
You’ve been there, right?
I didn’t post yesterday, in part because I was REALLY sick, still under the weather today but, wow, the difference being able to breathe through your nose makes!
YIKES!
Not Who But Whose
I have spent a good portion of my adult life, regretting my adult life.
Too much really.
To many hours spent rummaging through the boxes of “what ifs.”
The seemingly endless memories of people telling me I cannot do something,
should not bother trying, not cut out for this or that…
It is exhausting
Stop Living “Less Than” Lives
The last couple weeks, I have been going through an old writing folder I came across and it’s weird to me some of the things I was writing this part of the year – 10 FULL years ago.
The scary part is, that unfortunately for me, MANY of the themes and sentences are the EXACT same as I have been saying to myself recently – despite my attempts at changing the way I think/speak.
That is a much bigger project than one might believe but it is one that I will not quit.
Is It God’s Will or MY Desire?
Why do I write?
Beside the fact that God’s given me the ability?
Or has He simply given me the desire to write?
Or do I just like writing and worked to develop the skill?
When I got here, I could not walk. I learned that. Do I ever contemplate walking for God?
Misjudged – A Baseball Story
I was going through some old folders, the same one where I found the making of Time – A Short Story (I’d love for you to check that out, Part I, Part II and Part III are here, well, there if you follow those links). The thing about this week’s story is that I never played baseball and never really wanted to but my dad?
Well, he’s another story.
To hear him and my grandparents tell it, sky was the limit for him. He played with the older kids because he intimidated his age group – and the kids he did play with…they didn’t like it either.
He was that good.
So, this is a sort of homage to my “pops.” He cannot read it, he is no longer with us.
I hope he passed knowing I loved him.
This may not be exactly his story – but it could be yours or someone you know.
Do not let your fear or disappointment keep you from being what God made you.
Time – A Short Story – Part III
Well, here we are at last (apologies for it being later than noon) the final installment of Time – A Short Story. I have enjoyed working through this and I hope I have delivered a a story that is both thought provoking and emotional. If this is your first visit and you have not read the first two parts follow the links below, then buckle up for Part III. Part I and Part II
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…
