A Beautiful Morning You Were A sky so blue, rose with the morning dew The air so clean, so fresh A morning so bright, so warm In an instant it was changed The promise of a beautiful day Gave way to senseless hate and rage Years have passed since that senseless day When so … Continue reading Broken Promise!
Abide in Me
I mentioned a couple a weeks ago that as I continue on this journey of #chasing25 that I would also be sharing snippets into my spiritual discoveries as well as chronicling my physical pursuits. I actually wasn't planning on sharing one this early but yesterday I heard a sermon that I haven't been able to … Continue reading Abide in Me
Being Public but Private
I've had several conversations over the last month or so where I have found myself giving a description of the type of person I am. In these cases I have described myself as being an introverted extroverted person. Huh? I know it doesn't sound right so here's a little more explanation of what I mean. … Continue reading Being Public but Private
#Chasing25
Hi there. I know its been a long time since I've posted anything. Today I am starting a new series of posts entitled #Chasing25. Chasing 25 is something I created a couple of months ago as a tongue in cheek tag line to describe the new fitness journey I had begun back in March of … Continue reading #Chasing25
Life/Perseverance
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

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. Seventy-two? I use to think that number sounded so old but realize now, just how young that … Continue reading Too Soon, much too soon
New Project

Then we will alternate each week. Please give it a try and let us know what … Continue reading New Project
Here and Now
All we really have, is that moment that's happening now. Right here, right now. The promise of growing old and having a lifetime of memories to look back on, for some, is an empty, unrelentingly cruel lie. A systematic elimination of memory after memory slowly erodes into a great void for that person who desperately … Continue reading Here and Now
40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1 finished
picture from thefilmspectrum.com Day 1 - finished thoughts. I had a friend of mine comment yesterday with two, very insightful thoughts on truly following wherever Jesus may lead us. The first was the idea that we tend to limit God because we are unwilling to take risks, to dream big or maybe it's because we've never … Continue reading 40 Day Journey – with Dietrich Bonhoeffer – Day 1 finished
