  • The Call

    You hear it screaming in your head. It is the call to action. Yet, you shrink and shirk the responsibility. You are afraid of what answering that call might mean. You know that it is for you. Every direction that you turn, evidence of that call exists. Yet, you fail to acknowledge it and take…

  • Religion

    I tiptoe around directly speaking of religion. It is not because I do not believe. It probably is because I do believe. In fact, I believe very strongly. I will also say, it was not always easy. It was not always so heartfelt. It was not always my decision to participate. In fact, I strayed…

  • Faith

    Faith, it’s something that you have, or something that you don’t. Is it truly that simple? Are life’s major questions, so simple that they can be broken down such as this. The truth is, no they cannot. As much as we want to believe that our lives are simple, they aren’t. In fact, they are…

    Life—that’s all I have, one simple word, or is it?

  • Hurricane

    Sometimes the bad winds blow memories of you to me. When that happens all those emotions come back to me in the rush of the breeze. They sweep over me and knock me off my feet as I remember that what was and what could have been. Knocked off balance with the gust of emotion…

  • Pillars

    We work our lives to establish pillars to support the buildings in which we dwell, those in which we work, and even those in which we eat, drink and shop. Have you ever considered the pillars that we build to support our lives? What do these pillars look like? Are they people or actions? Are…
