Moments for flashback come to me now and again. Today, I just settled upon that 80’s song….”Do You Really Want To Hurt Me”. It seemed fitting for the moment. One of those conversations where I knew they didn’t really mean what was spoken in anger, yet they couldn’t help themselves and I was the standing [...]

Smith Wigglesworth is one of the most interesting man I have ever read about and has a most inspiring walk of all saints. I tend to understand him easily because he’s not full of empty words. Loving to write myself, at the core of my being, I detest the b.s. (just being real!) of those [...]

Experiencing loneliness is not common in my daily life; at least it hasn’t been for a very long time. Recently however, I have had literal waves of it hit me at the strangest times and it doesn’t always make sense. How can one feel lonely when surrounded by people who love you and you know [...]

Summer days are waning although the heat scale doesn’t relent to give up its place in the season. I have been looking at my calendar and noticed the months seem to be accelerating. I don’t mind this much, my time is often spent in wonderful ways and I have no regrets about what I am [...]
