Daylight to Break
We’re growing up. Our bodies yawn and stretch, easing out of it’s old skin and comfortable pjs, to make way for a tougher covering to protect us from the harsh reality of the real world, where honesty equates to brutality and trust needs to be earned. We’re not used to it. We resist and fight the waves but all that does is plant our feet further in the sinking sand, forcing us...

“I hate that feeling. The feeling when you’re sad but you have no idea why. You just are. And in your mind, you’re thinking of all the bad things in your life and apply it to your emotions, making you even more sad. Then people ask you what’s wrong and you have nothing to say.

Too good not to share
“They [parents] won’t even know why. They will just look at that little body, those hands and feet, and they will think that this stranger is beautiful, even though he looks like every other baby and all babies look like Winston Churchill.

Do you ever feel that surge of blood rushing to your head, pounding hard and fast against your temples while you seethe with anger at the person right in front of you, a million swear words teethering over the edge, waiting to topple out of your lips like lollipops from a candy machine; your mind a whirlpool of fog and frustration and your heart a thumping bass? The anger leaps at you out of...

“1 John 3:19-22”
– 19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from...

After all these years, I still think it’s possible to read a person’s weblog of thoughts and feel like you’ve known them for your entire life. And/or develop a virtual crush on these virtual personas that might not even be fed by reality.

It’s New Year’s Eve Day, and what better way to spend it than with the One person who’s been with me through the valleys and on the mountain tops. He’s always the constant. And an unfailing one too.
