I have written two posts in the last year. One was the day after my mother passed away in April last year and the other was shortly after my dad died in early July. I've been stuck since then not wishing to engage in writing or really, in anything creative. Sort of like someone hitting … Continue reading Life/Perseverance
My Best Friend
Tuesday, July 4th, 2017 is the day I lost my oldest and dearest friend. Edwin A. Dorsey, my father passed away and my world has been a little darker ever since. I do take great joy and comfort in the fact that exactly at 12:15 pm, he was instantly reunited with my mother who recently … Continue reading My Best Friend
Too Soon, much too soon
It's never easy to say goodbye to those we love. Especially, a parent, spouse or child. At 72 years of age, my mother went to be with the Lord and loved ones who have already gone before.

40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1
I am doing a 40 day devotional series with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I thought as I do so, I would take the opportunity to journal as I travel through this 40 day journey.

A Story to Share
It's been six months since I have written anything. Some of that's due to writer's block which I get on occasion and some of it's because life simply happens to steal all of your time. Honestly though, the greater hindrance for me has been related to two themes. The first being that I have some … Continue reading A Story to Share
