Didn’t make it to the well today. Too much to do. Busy, busy. Later, yes, later. Didn’t make it to the well today. Feeling thirsty, but don’t have the time. Didn’t make it to the well today. Supplies running low. Maybe tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow. Didn’t make it to the well today. Don’t think I needContinue reading “Eternal Spring”

Thirst
To see your light so bright that it outshines everything else To hear your voice so loud it drowns out all my other thoughts To feel your love so immensely that it erases every black emotion To have your glory flood over my soul so fully that it washes away all else That your presenceContinue reading “Thirst”
Summer School
Summer 2008 I lost my job. I had been praying for a new job. My plan was to find something then quit my current job. Instead, I was laid off with no prospects in sight. I got a new job. It paid less than the previous one. I got a new home. I love this job,Continue reading “Summer School”
The Whole World
Some friends of mine recently travelled to Pittsburgh, PA. This was not a fun jaunt to visit the sites. They were bringing their seven-year-old son to see the best in the nation for the specialized surgery he needed. To fast forward a bit, God did amazing things to work out so many details, provide for hisContinue reading “The Whole World”

I’m still all over the place when it comes to “what I want to be when I grow up.” In fact, I’ve come to detest that question. It’s absurd. Not that I’mContinue reading “My Path”

Overthinking
Being an A student has its advantages. School was never that difficult. A college degree was attainable. I can usually learn new things fairly easily. The disadvantage is the frustration when something isn’t easy to grasp. My intellect throws accusations at me. “What’s wrong?” “I should be smart enough to get this!” “Why can’t IContinue reading “Overthinking”
Contrast & Focus: Adjustments Needed
She’s prettier than I am. But, I’m thinner than those two. My clothes aren’t as nice as theirs. I am so much smarter than a lot of people. Why is it easier for him to… I would never do… My self-image – constantly adjusting. Image sharpened. Image blurred. Image quality up. Image quality down. Too muchContinue reading “Contrast & Focus: Adjustments Needed”
For Crying Out Loud
Saturday night: It was one of those movies with an impossible soundtrack. Dialogue is at a near whisper and action scenes threaten to burst eardrums, making it impossible to find a comfortable volume. Not wanting to miss any of the Oscar-caliber acting scenes of 2010: Moby Dick, we opted for cranking it up. OurContinue reading “For Crying Out Loud”
