  • 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…

  • My legacy

    As I journey through life, I oft times struggle with what my legacy will be. As if, this is something I get to determine by conscious thought. The truth of the matter, my legacy will be determined by those who survive me and the impression I made on them. It is their interpretation of my…

  • Years ago

    There are people that visit your life that make an indelible impression. They will never understand the impact they had on you. They will never know how much you think about them even many years later. Those most stuck in my mind, affected me in such a deep manner, yet, even then, I knew, 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…

Some of these folks I consider good…

  • Live

    Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do the worst kind of suffering. Paulo Coelho Today is the day we live. Tomorrow is the day we seek. Yesterday is the day we remember. If we spend too much time seeking or remembering, we miss living. Waiting for the future, is difficult…

  • What do we remember?

    “Never forget,” those words so easily spoken on anniversaries and holidays. What do they mean, do we even know what we are swearing to “Never Forget”? Do they mean the same thing to everyone? Is it even possible for it to mean the same thing to everyone? I think about these things and I wonder.…

  • To those who stood on that wall

    Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. it flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it. The author of the quote is unknown but it’s sentiment is felt deeply on Memorial Day. A day that we remember the soldiers that gave their all to guarantee our rights. They…

  • Thank you for your service

    I believe accurately remembering – and honoring – our whole past is the first step in governing in a way that effectively represents the whole America. ~~Tammy Duckworth~~ On Memorial Day weekend, we should take the time who were willing to stand on that wall during peacetime as well as wartime. They guaranteed that we…
