Our Stories
If you’re on this earth you have an unfolding story. Good or bad, exciting or dull, long or short, it’s your story and only you know the details. You can share it any way you choose. Or you can keep it to yourself. But it seems kind of sad to not share it with anyone else while here. Continue reading

The Ascension
Here are a couple of assumptions for this piece:
- Most of us have room for improvement even with our most skilled abilities and talents.
- With the exception of a few prodigies most of us better ourselves line upon line, grace by grace. We may show a flair or talent for a particular skill or ability but every person ascends up a particular path with experience.

The movie has been playing on a couple of television stations recently and I’ve been able to become reacquainted with it. I watch it for a two second lesson hidden in a two hour movie.

“Okay,” I agreed. “I will carry it for awhile.” I thought I could help. Continue reading
Recovering
As a writer, or someone who attempts to put thoughts into words that others can relate to, I admit I sometimes get a little jealous when I read or hear other’s works of art. I’m hoping this is a common problem and I’m not the only coveter in the mix seeing how the sin of coveting is so serious it merits a mention in the top 10 Commandments everyone is familiar with. There are just some writers out there that regularly make me take notice and I secretly – or not so secretly – wish I was the one who penned their words. This is an example of one of those times.
